Question

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. The company has two manufacturing departments--Molding and Fabrication. It started, completed, and sold only two jobs during March-Job P and Job Q. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March): Estimated total machine-hours used Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour Molding Fabrication Total 2,500 1,500 4,000 $10,000 $15,000 $25,000 $ 1.40 $ 2.20 Job P $13,000 $21,000 Job Q $8,000 $7,500 Direct materials Direct labor cost Actual machine-hours used: Molding Fabrication Total 800 1,700 600 2,300 900 1,700 Sweeten Company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the month. 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 departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both departments.

5. What was the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job Q? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

6. If Job Q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

7. Assume that Sweeten Company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. What selling price would the company have established for Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for Job P and 30 units were produced for Job Q? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

8. What was Sweeten Company’s cost of goods sold for March? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer 1

Plantwide predetermine overhead rate = (2500*1.4+1500*2.2+25000)/4000 = 7.95 per MH

5) Total manufacturing cost of Job Q = 8000+7500+(1700*7.95) = 29015

6) Unit product cost = 29015/30 = 967

7) Calculate selling price

	Job P	Job Q
Direct material	13000	8000
Direct labor	21000	7500
Overhead	18285	13515
Total manufacturing cost	52285	29015
Markup	41828	23212
Selling price	94113	52227
Selling price per unit	4706	1741

8) Cost of goods sold = 52285+29015 = 81300
