Job P Job Q
Sweeten Company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the
month.
Required:
For questions 1-8, assume that Sweeten Company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate
with machine-hours as the allocation base. For questions 9-15, assume that the company uses
departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both
departments. (Do not round intermediate calculations for any of the questions.)
1. What was the company’s plant-wide predetermined overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2
decimal places.) $7.95
2. How much manufacturing overhead was applied to Job P and how much was applied to Job Q?
P:$18,285 Q:$13,515
$52,285
4. If Job P included 20 units, what was its unit product cost? (Round your final answer to nearest
whole dollar.) $2,614
6. If Job Q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost? (Round your final answer to nearest
whole dollar.) $967
7. Assume that Sweeten Company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total
manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. What selling price would the
company have established for Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated
on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for Job P and 30 units were produced for Job
Q? (Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.) P:$4,705 Q:$1,741
8. What was Sweeten Company’s cost of goods sold for March? $81,300
9. What were the company’s predetermined overhead rates in the Molding Department and the
Fabrication Department? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Molding:$5.40 Fab.:$12.20
10. How much manufacturing overhead was applied from the Molding Department to Job P and how
much was applied to Job Q? P:$9,180 Q:$4,320
11. How much manufacturing overhead was applied from the Fabrication Department to Job P and
how much was applied to Job Q? P:$7,320 Q:$10,980
12. If Job P included 20 units, what was its unit product cost? $2,525
13. If Job Q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost? (Round your final answer to
nearest whole dollar.) $1,027
14. Assume that Sweeten Company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of
total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. What selling price would the
company have established for Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated
on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for Job P and 30 units were produced for Job
Q?
P:$4,545 Q:$1,849
15. What was Sweeten Company’s cost of goods sold for March?
$81,300
II. Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the
company made the following estimates:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production 140,000
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 70,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $784,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.00
During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. The following information is available with
respect to this job:
Direct materials $175
Direct labor cost $225
Direct labor-hours 15
Machine-hours 5
Required:
1. Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with direct
labor-hours as the allocation base. Under this approach:
a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. $7.60
b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. $514
c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price
would it establish for Job 550? $1,028
2. Assume that Landen’s controller believes that machine-hours is a better allocation base than
direct labor-hours. Under this approach:
a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. $15.20
b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. $476
c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price
would it establish for Job 550? $952
(Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your Predetermined
Overhead Rate answers to 2 decimal places and all other answers to the nearest whole
dollar.)
