I think it's A too, the total revenue must be higher than the joint costs.

Haha, N-Air Corporation? Sounds like a made-up company name. I wonder if the exam writers have a sense of humor.

I believe the answer is B) $10,000. Since all products were sold at the split-off point, that would be the gross profit from the production process.

So, in this case, it would be $13,000 because the total sales revenue of products A, B, and C at the split-off point is $23,000 ($10,000 + $8,000 + $5,000) and the joint production costs are $10,000.

Just add up the sales revenue of all the products at the split-off point and subtract the joint production costs. That will give you the gross profit.

This seems like a straightforward joint process question. I'll go with option C since it seems to align with the given information about the allocation of joint costs.
