Required: For questions 1-9, assume that Sweeten Company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both departments and Job P included 20 units and Job Q included 30 units. For questions 10-15, assume that the company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with machine-hours as the allocation base. 1. What were the company’s predetermined overhead rates in the Molding Department and the Fabrication Department? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 2.

What was the company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 11. How much manufacturing overhead was applied to Job P and how much was applied to Job Q? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 12. If Job P included 20 units, what was its unit product cost? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.) 14. Assume that Sweeten Company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. What selling price would the company have established for Jobs P and Q? What are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)
