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 company’s predetermined overhead rate for the year is based on a cost formula that estimated $280,000 in manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 7,000 camera-hours. The following transactions occurred during the year:

Film, costumes, and similar raw materials purchased on account, $185,000.

Film, costumes, and other raw materials used in production, $200,000 (85% of this material was considered direct to the videos in production, and the other 15% was considered indirect).

Utility costs incurred on account in the production studio, $72,000.

Depreciation recorded on the studio, cameras, and other equipment, $84,000. Three-fourths of this depreciation related to production of the videos, and the remainder related to equipment used in marketing and administration.

Advertising expense incurred on account, $130,000.

Costs for salaries and wages were incurred on account as follows:

Direct labor (actors and directors)	$	82,000
Indirect labor (carpenters to build sets, costume designers, and so forth)	$	110,000
Administrative salaries	$	95,000

Prepaid insurance expired during the year, $7,000 (80% related to production of videos, and 20% related to marketing and administrative activities).

Miscellaneous marketing and administrative expenses incurred on account, $8,600.

Studio (manufacturing) overhead was applied to videos in production. The company used 7,250 camera-hours during the year.

Videos that cost $550,000 to produce according to their job cost sheets were transferred to the finished videos warehouse to await sale and shipment.

Sales for the year totaled $925,000 and were all on account. The total cost to produce these videos according to their job cost sheets was $600,000.

Collections from customers during the year totaled $850,000.

Payments to suppliers on account during the year, $500,000; payments to employees for salaries and wages, $285,000.
