Making a journal entry—by-product

Petrone Metals manufactures tin. During the process, a by-product—scrap metal—is obtained and placed in stock. The estimated sales value of the scrap metal produced during April is $2,000. Assume that the value of the by-product is treated as a reduction in production cost.

Make the journal entry for April to record the following:

  1. a. Placing of the scrap metal in stock
  2. b. Sale of one-half of the scrap metal for $850, on account

A company makes production by using Y raw material. The movements of this Y material within the month of April are as follows: (a) April 1, Beginning balance, amount: 8.000 kg, unit price: 20 TL/kg, (b) April 5, Purchase, amount: 12.000 kg, unit price: 25 TL/kg, (c) April 10, Consumption, amount: 10.000 kg, (d) April 15, Purchase, amount: 5.000 kg, unit price: 26 TL/kg, (e) April 20, Consumption, amount: 12.000 kg, (f) April 25, Purchase, amount: 15.000 kg, unit price: 22,20 TL/kg, (g) April 30, Consumption, amount: 8.000 kg. Suppose that on April 12, the company sends back 3.000 kg of Y raw material to the supplier due to low standards and on April 18, 2.000 kg of the Y raw materials was returned (iade) from the production department due to damage. Now what would be the cost of consumption at the end of the month if the company uses FIFO?
