Question:
Record the value of a by-product not requiring further processing—
value credited to work in process. (Obj. 1). The manufacturing process in the Trimming Department of the Paige Company results in a by-product. The company accumulates the by-product and periodically sells it. During the month of June 19X9, a quantity of the by-product with an estimated sales value of S900 was recovered. The company treats the estimated value of the by-product as a reduction in the cost of production completed during the current month. The total cost of the 20,000 units completed during the month was S48.000 before considering the by-product.
a. Give the general journal entry to record the removal of the byproduct from factory operations and its storage in inventory.
