- Delph Company uses job-order costing with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated that 54,000 machine-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of production. It also estimated $1,000,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $4.00 per machine-hour. Because Delph has two manufacturing departments—Molding and Fabrication—it is considering replacing its plantwide overhead rate with departmental rates that would also be based on machine-hours. The company gathered the following information to enable calculating departmental overhead rates: Molding Fabrication Total Machine-hours 23,000 31,000 54,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 760,000 $ 240,000 $ 1,000,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.00 $ 1.00 During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started,…arrow_forwardHigh Desert Potteryworks makes a variety of pottery products that it sells to retailers. The company’s job-order costing system uses departmental predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead costs to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in the Molding Department is based on machine hours, and the rate in the Painting Department is based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, the company provided the following estimates: Department Molding Painting Direct labor-hours 36,500 56,600 Machine-hours 82,000 37,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 213,200 $ 515,060 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 2.80 0 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour 0 $ 4.80 Job 205 was started on August 1 and completed on August 10.
