Conventions
Amounts are Philippine pesos (₱). Use accrual accounting and periodic inventory unless explicitly stated.

Numeric answers omit currency symbols; round monetary answers to two decimal places when needed. Each question supplies its own complete facts and is independent. No VAT or period-end adjustments apply unless stated.
