Required information
[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 $31,000
of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.20 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:
The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows:
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.
If Job P includes 20 units, what is its unit product cost?
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.
