"Blast it!" said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. "We've just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $10,200. It seems we're either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid."
Â
| Teledex Company manufactures products to customers' specifications and operates a job- order costing system. Manufacturing overhead cost is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year: |
Â
| Â | Department | |||
| Â | Fabricating | Machining | Assembly | Total plant |
| Direct labor | $300,000 | $201,000 | $401,000 | $902,000 |
| Manufacturing overhead | $540,000 | $804,000 | $100,250 | $1,444,250 |
|
Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows: |
Â
| Â | Department | |||
| Â | Fabricating | Machining | Assembly | Total plant |
| Direct materials | $11,900 | $900 | $5,500 | $18,300 |
| Direct labor | $6,500 | $1,700 | $13,100 | $21,300 |
| Manufacturing overhead | ? | ? | ? | ? |
| The company uses a plantwide overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. |
Â
| Requirement 1: |
| Assuming the use of a plantwide overhead rate: |
Â
| a. | Compute the rate for the current year. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) |
Â
| Predetermined overhead rate | % of direct labor cost |
Â
| Requirement 2: |
|
Suppose that instead of using a plantwide overhead rate, the company had used a separate predetermined overhead rate in each department. Under these conditions: |
Â
| a. | Compute the rate for each department for the current year. (Omit the "%" sign in your response.) |
Â
| Â | Predetermined overhead rate |
| Fabricating Department | % |
| Machining Department | % |
| Assembly Department | % |
