Question

The Vernon Company buys apples from local orchards and presses them to produce apple juice. The pulp that remains after pressing is sold to farmers as livestock food. This livestock food is accounted for as a by-product.

During the 2012 fiscal year, the company paid $1,000,000 to purchase 8 million kilograms of apples. After processing, 1 million kilograms of pulp remained. Vernon spent $35,000 to package and ship the pulp, which was sold for $50,000.
