Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. It started only two jobs during March—Job P and Job Q. Job P was completed and sold by the end of the March and Job Q was incomplete at the end of the March. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March. What is company's predetermined overhead rate? How much manufacture overhead was applied to Job P and Job Q? What is the direct labor hourly wage rate? If Job P includes 20 units, what is its unit product cost? What is the total amount of manufacture cost assigned to Job Q as of the end of march (including applied overhead)? Assume the ending raw material inventory is $1,000 and the company does not use and indirect materials. Prepare then journal entries to record raw materials purchases and the issuance of direct materials for use in production. Assume that the company does not use any indirect labor. Prepare the journal entry to record the direct labor costs added to production. Prepare the journal entry to apply manufacture overhead costs to production.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor hours

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $10,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour $1.00

Estimated total direct labour hours to be worked 2,000

Total Manufacturing overhead costs incurred $12,500

                                                         Job P             Job Q     Total Cost

Direct Material                               $13,000           $8,000  $21,000

Direct Labor Cost                          $21,000           $7,500   28,500

Actual Direct Labor-hours worked   1,400                500      

Applied manufacturing overhead 1,400 * $6    500 * $6

=                                                    $8,400                $3,000 $11,400

Total                                                                                     $60,900

Predetermined overhead rate = $10,00/2,000 = $5 + $1 = $6

Direct labor wage rate = $21,000/1,400 = $15 per DLH

Unit Cost of Job P if 20 units:

Direct Material                    $13,000  

Direct Labor Cost               $21,000

Manufacturing overhead    $8,400

Total costs =                      $42,400

Unit cost =  $42,400/20 = $2,120

Raw materials used in production = $21,000

Ending raw materials                             1,000

Purchase of raw materials               $22,000

Underapplied or Overapplied Overhead:

Actual manufacturing overhead incurred = $12,500

Manufacturing overhead applied                    11,400

Underapplied overhead =                                $1,100

Sales Revenue = $3,000 * 20 = $60,000

a. $48.75
