Silva Corporation uses an absorption costing system for internal reporting purposes. At
present, however, it is considering to use the variable costing system:

units, the company’s normal capacity level. Silva Corporation uses a predetermined factory
overhead rate for applying manufacturing overhead costs to its product. The denominator level
used in developing the predetermined rate is the firm’s normal capacity. Any over-or under
applied factory overhead cost is closed to cost goods sold at the end of the year.

actual selling price was the same as the amount planned, P130.00 per unit.

planned unit manufacturing cost. The beginning inventory of finished goods for absorption
costing purposes was valued at such per-unit manufacturing cost.
