Conversion surplus is a measure of a producer's prospective gain or loss from converting goods-in-process (e.g., standing timber, logs) to end products. It is useful as an index to merchantability and for purposes of comparative valuation, as in calculating financial maturity of a tree or the best timber stocking or rotation. It considers the costs and revenues which are variable with (i.e., relevant to) the management decision, and it considers them for the firm as a whole.
