Required information The Foundational 15 (Algo) [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3, LO2-4] [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 $26,600 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.10 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 Estimated total machine-hours used Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour Molding 2,500 $11,000 $1.00 Fabrication 1,500 Total 4,000 $ 15,600 $ 2.60 $ 26,600 The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows: my $11,000 $1.80 $ 15,600 $ 26,600 $ 2.60 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor cost Actual machine-hours used: Molding Fabrication Job P $17,000 Job Q $ 10,000 $ 24,200 $9,100 2,100 1,200 1,000 3,100 1,300 2,500 Total 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.
