Answer

Two major methods to account for byproducts are: a. Production Method: This method recognizes byproducts in the financial statements at the time production is completed, regardless of when they are actually sold. b. Sales Method: In contrast, the sales method delays the recognition of byproducts until the time they are actually sold. This method waits until the sale occurs before accounting for the byproducts in the financial statements.
