What may be some of the cost assignment problems


Pilgrim Corporation processes frozen turkeys. The company has not been pleased with its profit margin per product because it appears that the high value items have too few costs assigned to them, while the low value items have too many costs assigned to them. The processing results in several products, the primary one of which is frozen small turkeys. Other products include frozen parts such as wings and legs, byproducts such as skin and bones, and unused scrap items.

What may be some of the cost assignment problems if a key consideration is the value of the products being sold?
