Physical Quantities Method with By-Product
Trans-Pacific Lumber runs a mill in the Northwest that produces two grades of lumber, A and B, and a by-product, sawdust. The company chooses to allocate the costs on the basis of the physical quantities method.
Last month, it processed 125,000 logs at a total cost of $270,000. The output of the process consisted of 25,000 units of grade A, 37,500 units of grade B, and 75,000 units of sawdust. The sawdust can be sold for $10,000. This is considered to be its net realizable value, which is deducted from the processing costs of the main products.
