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 $30,600 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.10 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: Direct materials Direct labor cost Actual machine-hours used: Holding Fabrication Estimated total machine-hours used 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: Job P $ 27,000 $ 32,200 Holding Fabrication 2,500 $ 13,500 $ 2.80 3,100 2,000 5,100 NO Job Q $ 15,000 $ 13,100 1,500 $ 17,100 $ 3.60 2,200 2,300 4,500 Total 4,000 $ 30,600 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. Assume that Sweeten Company uses cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establis lling prices for all of its jobs. If Job P includes 20 units and Job Q includes 30 units, what selling price would the company establa Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis? (Do not round intermediate calculation und your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
