    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Cost allocate to Loin chops:-

    = Total Joint Cost * [Loin Chops sales value : (Loin Chops sales value + Ground Sales value + Ribs sales value + Bacon Sales value) ]

    = $43,000 * { (3,000 * 5) : [ (3,000 * 5) + (10,000 * 2) + (4,000 * 4.75) + (6,000 * 3.5) ]}

    = $43,000 * [15,000 : 75,000]

    = $43,000 * 0.2

    = $8,600
