Star Videos, Inc., produces short musical videos for sale to retail outlets. The companys balance sheet accounts as of January 1 are given below.

Cash $ 82,600
Accounts receivable 97,600
Inventories:
Raw materials (film, costumes) $ 42,800
Videos in process 56,600

Because the videos differ in length and in complexity of production, the company uses a job-order costing system to determine the cost of each video produced. Studio (manufacturing) overhead is charged to videos on the basis of camera-hours of activity. The companys predetermined overhead rate for the year ($40 per camera-hour) is based on a cost formula that estimated $280,000 in manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 7,000 camera-hours. Any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold. The following transactions were recorded for the year:

  1. Film, costumes, and similar raw materials purchased on account, $221,000.
  2. Film, costumes, and other raw materials issued to production, $259,000 (85% of this material was considered direct to the videos in production, and the other 15% was considered indirect).
  3. Utility costs incurred (on account) in the production studio, $81,200.
  4. Depreciation recorded on the studio, cameras, and other equipment, $93,200. Three-fourths of this depreciation related to actual production of the videos, and the remainder related to equipment used in marketing and administration.
  5. Advertising expense incurred (on account), $161,000.
  6. Salaries and wages paid in cash as follows:

Direct labor (actors and directors) $ 98,200
Indirect labor (carpenters to build sets, costume designers, and so forth) $ 83,500
Administrative salaries $ 110,000

  1. Prepaid insurance expired during the year, $9,100 (70% related to production of videos, and 30% related to marketing and administrative activities).
  2. Miscellaneous marketing and administrative expenses incurred (on account), $14,150.
  3. Studio (manufacturing) overhead was applied to videos in production. The company recorded 7,250 camera-hours of activity during the year.
  4. Videos that cost $580,000 to produce according to their job cost sheets were transferred to the finished videos warehouse to await sale and shipment.
  5. Sales for the year totaled $1,100,000 and were all on account.
  6. The total cost to produce the videos that were sold according to their job cost sheets was $626,050.
