[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of the year and no beginning inventories. It started, completed, and sold only two jobs during the yearJob P and Job Q. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 4,000 machine-hours would be required for the periods estimated level of production. Sweeten also estimated $25,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $1.80 per machine-hour.

Because Sweeten has two manufacturing departmentsMolding and Fabricationit is considering replacing its plantwide overhead rate with departmental rates that would also be based on machine-hours. The company gathered the following additional information to enable calculating departmental overhead rates:

	Molding	Fabrication	Total
Estimated total machine-hours used	2,500	1,500	4,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead	$ 10,250	$ 15,150	$ 25,400
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour	$ 1.50	$ 2.30

The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows:

	Job P	Job Q
Direct materials	$ 14,000	$ 8,500
Direct labor cost	$ 21,800	$ 7,900
Actual machine-hours used:
Molding	1,800	900
Fabrication	700	1,000
Total	2,500	1,900

Sweeten Company had no overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the year.

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 predetermined departmental overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both departments.
