Fixed Manufacturing overhead

costs                          $700,000               $210,000         $910,000

Variable Manufacturing

overhead- Machine hour   $3.00                     $3.00

During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed and sold only two jobs- job D- 70 and job C- 200. It provided the following information related to these two jobs:

Job D- 7                                Molding              Fabrication                 Total

Direct Materials                   $375,000           $325,000           $700,000

Direct Labor Cost                    $200,000        $160,000           $350,000

Machine-hours                          14,000           6,000                 20,000

Job C- 200                                   Molding                 Fabrication               Total

Direct Materials                        $300,000             $250,000             $550,000

Direct Labor Cost                        $175.000              $225,000        $400,000

Required

Question 1) Assume Dulph uses a overhead rate based on machine- hours

a. Compute the predetermined plantwide overhead rate.

b. Compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job D-70 and job C- 200

c. If Dalph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job D- 70 and job C- 200

d. What is Delph's Cost of Goods Sold for the yeat?

Question 2) Assume Delph uses departmental overhead rates based on machine hours

a. Compute the predetermined departmental overhead rates.

b. Compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job D- 70 and job C-200

c. If Delph establishes bid prices that are 150%of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job D-70 and job C-200

d, What is Delph's COGS for the year What managerial insights are revealed by the computations that you performed in this problem? (hint: Do the COGS amounts that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Do the bid prices that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Why?)
