Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production 140,000
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 70,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 784,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.00

During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. The following information is available with respect to this job:

Direct materials $ 175
Direct labor cost $ 225
Direct labor-hours 15
Machine-hours 5

Required:

1. Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with direct labor-hours as the allocation base. Under this approach:

a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.

b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550.

c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?

2. Assume that Landen’s controller believes that machine-hours is a better allocation base than direct labor-hours. Under this approach:

a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.

b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550.

c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?

(Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Predetermined Overhead Rate" answers to 2 decimal places and all other answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

1. Direct labor-hours:
a. Predetermined overhead rate per DLH
b. Total manufacturing cost of Job 550
c. Selling price   
2. Machine-hours:
a. Predetermined overhead rate per MH

1) Baltimore Furniture Inc. owns two factories, each of which produces three types of tables – the deluxe, medium and the standard. The company has a contract to supply tables to a newly built hotel in downtown Washington DC comprising of at least 12 deluxe tables, 8 medium tables and 24 standard tables. Each factory produces a certain number of tables during each hour it operates. Factory 1 produces 6 deluxe tables and 2 medium tables. Factory 2 produces 2 deluxe tables, 2 medium tables and 12 standard tables. It costs Baltimore Inc. $150 per hour to produce each table in factory 1 and it costs $120 per hour to produce each table from factory 2. The Company wants to determine the number of hours it needs to operate each factory so that it could meet up with its contract at the lowest cost. Hints: You are required to minimize cost assuming that factory 1 = X and factory 2 = Y.
