Model answer

Manufacturing (D): raw materials - opening 8,000 + purchases 40,000 + carriage inwards 1,000 - closing 6,000 = 43,000; manufacturing wages 100,000; royalties 1,500; prime cost 144,500.
Factory overheads: depreciation of machinery 7,500; factory expenses (60,000 - 5,000) 55,000; factory rent (50,000 × 5/8) 31,250 = 93,750. Total 238,250; add opening WIP 2,000, less closing WIP 1,500; cost of production 238,750.
Trading: sales 390,000; cost of goods sold = 28,000 + 238,750 - 26,000 = 240,750; gross profit 149,250.
Profit and loss: rent (50,000 × 3/8) 18,750; selling expenses (3,000 + 2,500) 5,500; depreciation of delivery van 1,280; discount allowed 1,500 = 27,030. Net profit D122,220.

Delivery van depreciation is a selling cost, not a factory overhead.
