E2-17 Plantwide and Departmental Predetermined Overhead Rates 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 50,000 machinehours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. It also estimated $910,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $1.80 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: During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, Page87 completed, and sold only two jobs-Job D-70 and Job C-200. It provided the following information related to those two jobs: Delph had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead during the year. Required: 1. Assume Delph uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job D-70 and Job C-200. c. If Delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid prices would it have established for Job D-70 and Job C-200? d. What is Delph's cost of goods sold for the year? 2. Assume Delph uses departmental predetermined overhead rates based on machine-hours. a. Compute the departmental predetermined overhead rates. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job D-70 and Job C-200. c. If Delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing cost, what bid prices would it have established for Job D-70 and Job C-200? d. What is Delph's cost of goods sold for the year? 3. What managerial insights are revealed by the computations that you performed in this problem? (Hint: Do the cost of goods sold amounts that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Do the bid prices that you computed in requirements 1 and 2 differ from one another? Why?)
