OPM Acutal Cost (PMAC) for by-product accounting
Dear Expert ,
How to reconcile INVENTORY value for by-product ??
My test samples is one by-product has previous cost and balance ( Cost = $20 , previous balance quantity = 10 kg)
Current period , by-product complete 10kg . And did cost adjustment ( total by-product value in this period is 300. so did cost adjustment by Quantity 10 kg and cost = $30 ) .
Then run Actual cost process . By-product current period cost => ( previous value + current value ) / (previous quantity + current quantity) = ( 200 + 300) / 20 = $25.
And the Accounting in the batch FOR by-product is Dr. INV- BY PRODUCT 250 Cr. WIP 250
In the period end , total inventory value = average cost * balance = $25 * 20 = 500 .
But transaction journal = previous balance + current period transaction = 200 + 250 ( By-product complete journal) = 450 .
