$[$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 year$$Job P and Job Q$.$ The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine$-$hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that $4,000$ machine$-$hours would be required for the period$$s estimated level of production. Sweeten also estimated $$27,400$ of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $$2\mathrm{.}30$ per machine$-$hour.

Because Sweeten has two manufacturing departments$$Molding and Fabrication$$it 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 $2,5001,5004,000$

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ $11,500$ $ $15,900$ $ $27,400$

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine$-$hour $ $2\mathrm{.}00$ $ $2\mathrm{.}80$

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 $ $19,000$ $ $11,000$

Direct labor cost $ $25,800$ $ $9,900$

Actual machine$-$hours used:

Molding $2,3001,400$

Fabrication $1,2001,500$

Total $3,5002,900$

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.

$14.$ Assume that Sweeten Company uses cost$-$plus pricing $($and a markup percentage of $80\%$ of total manufacturing cost$)$ to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. If Job P includes $20$ units and Job Q includes $30$ units, what selling price would the company establish for Jobs P and Q$?$ What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis?

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.
