[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Delph Company uses a job-order costing system and has two manufacturing departments—Molding and Fabrication. The company provided the following estimates at the beginning of the year:

  

	Molding		Fabrication		Total
Machine-hours		20,000		30,000	50,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$	700,000	$	210,000	$ 910,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour	$	3.00	$	1.00

During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs—Job D-70 and Job C-200. It provided the following information related to those two jobs:

  

Job D-70:	Molding		Fabrication		Total
Direct materials cost	$	375,000	$	325,000	$	700,000
Direct labor cost	$	200,000	$	160,000	$	360,000
Machine-hours		14,000		6,000		20,000

  

Job C-200:	Molding		Fabrication		Total
Direct materials cost	$	300,000	$	250,000	$	550,000
