Conventions

Amounts are Philippine pesos (₱). Enter numeric answers without a currency symbol; commas are optional. Use accrual accounting, periodic inventory, prepaid expenses under the asset method, unearned revenue under the liability method, straight-line depreciation, and the allowance method unless a question states otherwise. Interest uses a 360-day year or months/12. Follow the course cash-flow convention: interest/dividends received are investing, interest/dividends paid are financing. Each Practice Lab table has one highlighted blank. Questions are independent; use only the facts given in that question.
