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 is based on a cost formula that estimated $230,000 in manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 5,000 camera-hours. The following transactions were recorded for the year:

a.

Film, costumes, and similar raw materials purchased on account, $202,000.

b.

Film, costumes, and other raw materials issued to production, $217,000 (85% of this material was considered direct to the videos in production, and the other 15% was considered indirect).

c.

f.

Costs for salaries and wages were incurred as follows:

g.
