Pulkits Silk Shirts (PSS) hand-makes blouses and sells them to high-end department stores. PSS buys bolts of silk for $300 each. Out of each bolt it gets 30 blouses, which it sells for $90 each. PSS's new manager has suggested taking the scraps left after cutting out the blouses and using them to make scarves. By carefully cutting the blouses, PSS can produce 6 scarves from each bolt, which it can sell for $25 each. During September, PSS buys 50 bolts of silk and spends an additional $10,000 on the cutting and sewing process. By the end of the month, PSS sells 1,200 blouses and 260 scarves made from these bolts. Because the scarves are lower in value than the blouses, PSS decides to treat the scarves as a byproduct.
