Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $10,000  $15,000  $25,000 
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 1.40  $ 2.20

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

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

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?

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.)
