Blast it!" said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. "We've just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $4,000. It seems we're either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid. Teledex Company manufactures products to customers' specifications and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead (assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year: Department Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant $ 383, 250 $ 438,000 $ 98,550 $ 919,800 $ 219,000 $ 109,500 $ 328,500 $ 657,000 Manufacturing overhead Direct labor Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows: Department Machining $ 400 $ 700 Fabricating $ 4,900 $ 6,600 Assembly $3,300 Total pz Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Total Plant $ 8,600 $ 15,400 $8,160 Required: 1. Using the company's plantwide approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined rate for the current year. b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job. 2. Suppose that instead of using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate, the company had used departmental predetermined overhead rates based on direct labor cost. Under these conditions: a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department for the current year. b. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job. 4. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead). a. What was the company's bid price on the Koopers job using a plantwide predetermined overhead rate? b. What would the bid price have been if departmental predetermined overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost? Mickley Company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $23.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $13.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials Direct labor $ 280 $ 195 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 40 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 1. What is the t 1 Tan Total manufacturing cost Unit product cost per unit Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 33,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $567,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $4.00 per direct labor-hour. Harris's actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $764,866 and its actual total direct labor was 33,500 hours. Required: Compute the company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate for the year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Predetermined overhead rate per DLH
