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 $29,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.80 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 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour Molding 2,500 $ 12,750 $ 2.50 Fabrication 1,500 Total 4,000 $ 16,650 $ 3.30 $ 29,400 The direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine-hours used for Jobs P and Q are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor cost Actual machine-hours used: Fabrication Molding Total Job P $ 24,000 $ 29,800 Job Q $ 13,500 $ 11,900 2,800 1,700 4,500 1,900 2,000 3,900 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 2-2 (Algo) 2. How much manufacturing overhead was applied to Job P and how much was applied to Job Q? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Job P Job Q Manufacturing overhead applied
