Abstract

A distiller increases whiskey production and income declines because of accounting methods in use. Questions are raised regarding the treatment of expenditures which can be classified as production, inventory, or period costs. The necessary aging process raises added questions about prior period restatements and needed financing. A rewritten version of an earlier case by R.F. Vancil and R.H. Deming.
