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 $26,200 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.00 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 Molding Fabrication 2,500 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead 1,500 $ 15,450 $ 2.50 $ 10,750 $ 1.70…
Use the information below to answer the following two questions: Chamomile Inc. is a manufacturing company whose total manufacturing overhead costs fluctuate somewhat from month to month according to the number of machine-hours worked in its production facility.

Adams Corporation estimated its overhead costs would be $23,000 per month except for January when it pays the $179,400 annual insurance premium on the manufacturing facility. Accordingly, the January overhead costs were expected to be $202,400 ($179,400 + $23,000). The company expected to use 7,700 direct labor hours per month except during July, August, and September when the company expected 9,900 hours of direct labor each month to build inventories for high demand that normally occurs during the Christmas season. The company's actual direct labor hours were the same as the estimated hours. The company made 3,850 units of product in each month except July, August, and September, in which it produced 4,950 units each month. Direct labor costs were $23.80 per unit, and direct materials costs were $11.50 per unit. Required a. Calculate a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours. b.
