Solution Factory Overhead
Overhead)
- Direct Material (DM): ₱60,000 = ₱63,000 + ₱17,000
= ₱80,000 Difference in total costs = Total cost at (2,250,000 - (3000)² / 5)
highest production - Total cost at lowest
production = (540,000 - 540,000) / (2,250,000 -
1,800,000)
= ₱33,000 - ₱23,000
= ₱0 / ₱450,000 (corrected calculation)
= ₱10,000
= ₱30,000 / ₱450,000
PROBLEM 3
= ₱6.67 (corrected calculation)
- Direct Material Cost (DM) = ₱80,000 Difference in production levels = Highest
- Labor Wages (DL) = ₱96,000 production - Lowest production
= 900 units - 400 units Intercept (a)
- Factory Overhead (FOH) = ₱20,000
= 500 units ∑Y = na + b∑x
- Administrative Expenses (AOH) = ₱15,000
Variable Cost per unit = Difference in total ₱90,000 = 5a + ₱6.67(3000)
- Insurance (AOH) = ₱10,000
costs / Difference in production levels ₱90,000 = 5a + ₱20,010
- Depreciation (AOH) = ₱8,000
= ₱10,000 / 500 units 5a = ₱69,990
- Packaging Materials (DM) = ₱9,000
= ₱20 per unit a = ₱13,998
Solution:
Fixed Cost = Total cost at lowest production Estimated Total Cost for 900 units
- Direct Material (DM): ₱80,000 + ₱9,000 = - (Variable cost per unit x Lowest production)
₱89,000 Y = a + bx
= ₱23,000 - (₱20 x 400)
- Direct Labor (DL): ₱96,000 = ₱13,998 + ₱6.67(900)
= ₱23,000 - ₱8,000
- Factory Overhead (FOH): ₱20,000 = ₱13,998 + ₱6,003
= ₱15,000
- Administrative Overhead (AOH): ₱15,000 + = ₱20,001
₱10,000 + ₱8,000 = ₱33,000 Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Total Conversion Cost = Direct Labor + = ₱15,000 + (₱20 x Number of units)
Factory Overhead = ₱15,000 + ₱20X
= ₱96,000 + ₱20,000 Where X is the of units produced.
= ₱116,000

Total CGS = ₱25,500 Total cost = ₱103,000 + ₱25,500 =
₱128,500
2. January 20 sale:
Average cost = ₱128,500 / 1500 = ₱85.67
- 250 units x ₱110 = ₱27,500 (Jan 15
purchase)
- 100 units x ₱120 = ₱12,000 (Jan 25 Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (CGS)
purchase)
1. Jan 15 sale: 800 units x ₱85.83 =
Total CGS = ₱39,500 ₱68,664
3. January 30 sale: 2. Jan 29 sale: 400 units x ₱85.67 =
₱34,268
FIFO COSTING METHOD - 200 units x ₱120 = ₱24,000 (Jan 25
purchase)
Here's the detailed solution:
Calculate Ending Inventory Value
1. January 10 sale: 250 units (entirely from
January 5 purchase) Calculate the total cost of goods sold and Units sold = 800 + 400 = 1200
ending inventory*
- 200 units from Jan 5 purchase Units remaining = 1500 - 1200 = 300
(remaining 50 units from next batch) Total Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) = ₱25,500 +
₱39,500 + ₱24,000 = ₱89,000 Ending Inventory Value = 300 units x ₱85.67
- 50 units from Jan 15 purchase = ₱25,701
Ending Inventory = 300 units (remaining
2. January 20 sale: 350 units from Jan 25 purchase)
- Remaining 250 units from Jan 15 Ending Inventory Value = 300 units x ₱120 = WEIGHTED AVERAGE COSTING
purchase ₱36,000 Calculate total kg and total cost after each
- 100 units from Jan 25 purchase AVERAGE COSTING MEHOD purchase_
3. January 30 sale: 200 units 1. Jan 5 purchase: 500 units x ₱80 = 1. Jan 3 purchase: 2000 kg x ₱15/kg =
₱40,000 ₱30,000
- Remaining 300 units from Jan 25
purchase 2. Jan 20 purchase: 700 units x ₱90 = 2. Jan 15 purchase: 3000 kg x ₱18/kg =
₱63,000 ₱54,000
Calculate the cost of goods sold from each
batch* Total units = 500 + 700 = 1200 Total kg = 2000 + 3000 = 5000
1. January 10 sale: Total cost = ₱40,000 + ₱63,000 = ₱103,000 Total cost = ₱30,000 + ₱54,000 = ₱84,000
- 200 units x ₱100 = ₱20,000 (Jan 5 Average cost = ₱103,000 / 1200 = ₱85.83 Weighted Average Cost = ₱84,000 / 5000 =
purchase) ₱16.80
3. Jan 28 purchase: 300 units x ₱85 =
- 50 units x ₱110 = ₱5,500 (Jan 15 ₱25,500 3. Jan 28 purchase: 1000 kg x ₱16/kg =
₱16,000
Total kg = 5000 + 1000 = 6000
Total cost = ₱84,000 + ₱16,000 = ₱100,000
Weighted Average Cost = ₱100,000 / 6000
= ₱16.67
Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (CGS)_
1. Jan 20 sale: 4000 kg x ₱16.80 = ₱67,200
Remaining kg = 5000 - 4000 = 1000
Weighted Average Cost (after sale) =
₱16.80 (unchanged)
2. Jan 30 sale: 1000 kg x ₱16.67 = ₱16,670
Calculate Ending Inventory Value_
Units remaining = 6000 - 5000 = 1000 kg
(after Jan 20 sale) + 0 (after Jan 30 sale)
Ending Inventory Value = 0 kg (since all
remaining inventory was sold)
