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 $29,800 of fixed manufacturing overhead
cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.90 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:

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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc9737efd-391f-457a-98f6-aa044a0527f1%2Fddcae1a5-7e82-4c03-a891-32025aa71476%2F3zd0no_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
