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: Fabrication Molding Total Job P $ 32,000 Job Q $ 17,500 $ 36,200 $ 15,100 3,600 2,700 2,500 6,100 2,800 5,500 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. 1. What is the company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Predetermined overhead rate per MH [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 $32,600 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.60 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: Total Estimated total machine-hours used Molding 2,500 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 14,750 $ 3.30 Fabrication 1,500 $ 17,850 $ 4.10 4,000 $ 32,600 The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows:
