Assume the St. Falls plant uses a single plantwide overhead rate to assign all overhead (plantwide and department) costs to jobs. Find the overhead rate by using expected direct labor hours. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Determine the projected amount of total manufacturing costs per unit for the units in job no. 110. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Calculate plantwide overhead rate using Machine Hours on projected manufacturing costs for job no. 110.(Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Calculate two separate department overhead rates using Machine Hours on projected manufacturing costs for job no. 110. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Recalculate the projected manufacturing costs for job no. 110 using three separate rates: one rate for plant wide overhead and two separate department overhead rates, all based on machine-hours. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
The sales policy at St. Falls dictates that job bids be calculated by adding 22 percent to total manufacturing costs. What would be the bid for job no. 110 using the overhead rate from part a ? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
The sales policy at St. Falls dictates that job bids be calculated by adding 22 percent to total manufacturing costs. What would be the bid for job no. 110 using the overhead rate from part b ? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Using the allocation rates in part b, compute the under- or over applied overhead for the St. Falls plant for the year. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
