NB:

  • Prepaid Office rent of $140 has to be excluded from the current year’s calculations
  • Delivery van is not part of the production department hence its depreciation is not included in the manufacturing account. In cases where the van is used to ferry raw materials as well the depreciation expense would have to be apportioned according to usage or any other rational that management might deem appropriate.
