Example: Feature Cost Percent and Co-Product and By-Product Costing

This list applies to the example of feature cost percent and co-product and by-product costing:

  • Cumulative cost = cost of this operation + cost of previous operation − cost of the co-product or by-product produced in the previous operation.

  • The total of all percentages at an operation cannot exceed 100 percent.

  • The total of all percentages at the last operation must equal 100 percent.

    This table shows an example of feature cost percent and co-product and by-product costing:

This list identifies calculations for feature cost percent and co-product and by-product costing:

  • Co-product or by-product cost at an operation = cumulative cost at an operation × the feature cost percent.

  • Cumulative cost = cost this operation + cost of previous operation − cost of the co-product or by-product produced in the previous operation.

  • The total of all percentages at an operation cannot exceed 100 percent.

  • The total of all percentages at the last operation must equal 100 percent.
