Answer:

D) Any new costs incurred in FFC's production process after the split-off point can be traced to one of the three final products.

Explanation:

Before the split-off point, the plant only produces one product or component.

                           ⇒product A1 ⇔ specific costs of A1

product A           ⇒product A2 ⇔ specific costs of A2

                           ⇒product A3 ⇔ specific costs of A3

After the split-off point, three separate products (all derived from the original) are manufactured. Before the split-off point, all the costs are assigned to the original or base product, and then after the split-off point every cost must be assigned to one of the products.
