and 4,000; respectively. Indirect labor is P90,000. Other actual overhead costs totaled
P100,000.

1. Assume that the spoiled goods were due to internal failure, what is the cost transferred to finish goods at the end
of the year?
Answer: 5,184,000

and the appropriate factory overhead rate.
The following were the unit cost for the 200 coil over springs:
1. Assume that the defective goods were charged to all jobs, what is the cost transferred to finish goods at the end of
the year?
Answer: 342,000
2. Assume that the defective goods were due to specific job, what is the unit cost of each good unit at the end of the
year?
