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 $25,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $1. 70 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: molding fabrication total estimated total machine-hours used 2,500 1,500 4,000 estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 10,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,000 estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 1. 40 $ 2. 20 the direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for jobs p and q are as follows: job p job q direct materials $ 13,000 $ 8,000 direct labor cost $ 21,000 $ 7,500 actual machine-hours used: molding 1,700 800 fabrication 600 900 total 2,300 1,700 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. Foundational 2-3 (static) 3. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to job p?
