The Gilster Company, a machine tooling firm, has several plants. One plant, located in St$.$ Cloud, Minnesota, uses a job

order costing system for its batch production processes. The St$.$ Cloud plant has two departments through which most

jobs pass. Plant$-$wide overhead, which includes the plant manager's salary, accounting personnel, cafeteria, and human

resources, is budgeted at $$360,000.$ During the past year, actual plantwide overhead was $$348,000.$ Each department's

overhead consists primarily of depreciation and other machine$-$related expenses. Selected budgeted and actual data

from the St$.$ Cloud plant for the past year are as follows.

For the coming year, the accountants at the St$.$ Cloud plant are in the process of helping the sales force create bids for

several jobs. Projected data pertaining only to job no$.110$ are as follows.e$.$ A St$.$ Cloud subcontractor has offered to produce the parts for job no$.110$ for a price of $$8\mathrm{.}5$ per unit. Assume the St$.$ Cloud sales

force has already committed to the bid price based on the calculations in part b$.$ Should the St$.$ Cloud plant buy the $$8\mathrm{.}5$ per unit part

from the subcontractor or continue to make the parts for job no$.110$ itself?

c$-1.$ The sales policy at the St$.$ Cloud plant dictates that job bids be calculated by adding $25$ percent to total manufacturing costs. What

would be the bid for job no$.110$ using the overhead rate from part a$?$

c$-2.$ The sales policy at the St$.$ Cloud plant dictates that job bids be calculated by adding $25$ percent to total manufacturing costs. What

would be the bid for job no$.110$ using the overhead rate from part $b?$

c$-3.$ Which of the overhead allocation methods would you recommend?Assume the St$.$ Cloud plant uses three separate overhead rates to assign overhead costs to jobs.

b$-1.$ Find the plant wide overhead rate by using expected machine hours.

b$-2.$ Find the department overhead rate using expected machine hours for Department A and Department B$.$

b$-3.$ Calculate the projected manufacturing costs per unit for job $110$ using the three separate rates computed in b$-1$ and b$-2.$Comprehensive Problem $5($Algo$)$ Part a

Required:

a$-1.$ Assume the St$.$ Cloud plant uses a single plantwide overhead rate to assign all overhead $($plantwide and department$)$ costs to jobs.

Use expected total direct labor hours to compute the overhead rate.

a$-2.$ What is the expected cost per unit produced for job no$.110?$
