inventory balances were as follows:
Raw materials ................................ P36,000

beginning of the year, the company estimated that it would work 21,000 machine-hours and incur P210,000 in
manufacturing overhead cost. The following transactions were recorded for the year:
a. Raw materials were purchased, P346,000.
b. Raw materials were requisitioned for use in production, P338,000 (P302,000 direct and P36,000 indirect).
c. The following employee costs were incurred: direct labor, P360,000; indirect labor, P68,000; and
administrative salaries, P111,000.
d. Selling costs, P153,000.
e. Factory utility costs, P29,000.
f. Depreciation for the year was P102,000 of which P93,000 is related to factory operations and P9,000 is
related to selling and administrative activities.
g. Manufacturing overhead was applied to jobs. The actual level of activity for the year was 19,000
machine-hours.
h. The cost of goods manufactured for the year was P870,000.
i. Sales for the year totaled P1,221,000 and the costs on the job cost sheets of the goods that were sold
totaled P855,000.
j. The balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account was closed out to Cost of Goods Sold.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate journal entry for each of the items above (a. through j.). You can assume that all
transactions with employees, customers, and suppliers were conducted in cash.

Problem 8
Swagg Jewelry Corporation manufactures custom jewelry. In the past, Swagg has been using a traditional
overhead allocation system based solely on direct labor hours. Sensing that this system was distorting costs and
selling prices, Swagg has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system using three activity cost pools.
Information on these activity cost pools are as follows:
Activity Cost Pool
Estimated Activity
Estimated Overhead Cost
Labor related ............ 8,000
direct labor hours
P40,000
Machine related ....... 12,500
machine hours
P50,000
Quality control ......... 800
number of inspections P12,000
Job #309 incurred P900 of direct material, 30 hours of direct labor at P40 per hour, 80 machine hours, and 5
inspections.
Required:
a. What is the cost of the job under the activity-based costing system?
b. Relative to the activity-based costing system, would Job #309 have been overcosted or undercosted
under the traditional system and by how much?

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization sustaining costs. One
particular client, the Lumbard family, requested 31 jobs during the year that required a total of 62 hours of
housecleaning. For this service, the client was charged P1,620
Required:
a. Compute the activity rates (i.e., cost per unit of activity) for the activity cost pools. Round off all
calculations
to the nearest whole cent.
b. Using the activity-based costing system, compute the customer margin for the Lumbard family. Round off all
calculations to the nearest whole cent.
c. Assume the company decides instead to use a traditional costing system in which ALL costs are allocated to
customers on the basis of cleaning hours. Compute the margin for the Lumbard family. Round off all
calculations to the nearest whole cent.
