Bismite Corporation purchases trees from Cheney lumber and processes them up to the split-off point where two products (paper and pencil casings) emerge from the process. The products are then sold to an independent company that markets and distributes them to retail outlets. The following information was collected for the month of October:           Trees processed:       310 trees         Production:               paper                            190,000 sheets                                          pencil casings              190,000         Sales:                        paper                           178,000 at $0.10 per page                                          pencil casings              189,000 at $0.14 per casing   The cost of purchasing 310 trees and processing them up to the split-off point to yield 190,000 sheets of paper and 190,000 pencil casings is $13,500.   Bismite’s accounting department reported no beginning inventory.   If the sales value at split-off method is used, what are the approximate joint costs assigned to ending inventory for paper? (Round intermediary percentages to the nearest hundredth.)
