28. LO.4 (By-product and cost allocation) Dover Studios shot hundreds of hours of footage that cost $20,000,000. From this footage, the company produced two mov- ies: Greedy CEOs and Greedy CEOs: The Sequel. The sequel used better sound effects than the original and was significantly more expensive to produce. However, audi- ences seemed to be more interested in the careers of Erin Sacks and Henry Whalen, discussed in the sequel, than the CEOs portrayed in the original movie and the sequel was much better received at the box office.
Dover Studios also generated revenue from admissions paid by numerous forensic accountants who wanted to tour the movie production set. The company accounted for this revenue as a by-product and used it to reduce joint cost before making allocations to the two feature-length movies.
