With qry1 as ( select productid, .... ), qry2 as ( select productid, .... )
, qry3 as (select productid, ... )
Select *
from qry1
Join qry2 using (productid)
Join qry3 using (productid)

Three sub-queries, all sharing a common productid column, joined using that
column so you only output 1 table result.

Re: schema.  This is a situation where I've used monthly summary tables that
hold the ending balance for each month to minimize the number of table C
records that need to be queried.

Thinking more it may make more sense to use a window expression to solve the
problem.

Sum(...) over (partition by productid order by date) + beginning_balance.

Both concepts (cte/with and window functions) are well covered in the
documentation, both generally and under the SQL command section for SELECT.

You may find someone gives you the (some) correct answers but for now I'll
leave this as a learning exercise.
