- Required information The Foundational 15 (Algo) [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3, LO2-4] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] 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 $29,800 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.90 per machine-hour.
