Answer to Problem 15E
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
- Given: Following information are given in the question:
Fixed manufacturing overhead for molding department = $700000
Fixed manufacturing overhead for fabrication department = $210000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate for molding department= $3
Variable manufacturing overhead rate for fabrication department = * $1
Machine hours for molding department= 20000
Machine hours for fabrication department = 30000
- Formula: Following formula will be used;
- Calculation:
As per formula it is clear that we need to know estimated total manufacturing overhead and estimated total machine hours.
Fixed manufacturing overheadfor molding department = $700000
Fixed manufacturingoverheadfor fabrication department = $210000
Now let’s put values in the above given formula;

Requirement − 3
To Explain: Critically analysis of differences in bid price and cost of goods sold.
Explanation of Solution
As per information of the question it is clear that Delph Company is establishing it’s bid price at 150% markup. It means Delph Company is establishing bid price 150% of manufacturing costs.
When manufacturing costs are different in case of plantwide overhead rate and in case of departmental overhead rate then bid price will also be different because bid price is calculated on the basis of manufacturing costs.
We know that cost of goods sold is total of manufacturing costs of all jobs. So when manufacturing cost is different in case of plantwide overhead rate and in case of departmental overhead rate then cost of goods sold will also be different because cost of goods sold is calculated on the basis of manufacturing costs.
Thus overall we can say that bid price and cost of goods sold differs in both cases due to difference between manufacturing costs.
