Question

Wilmington Company has two manufacturing departments—Assembly and Fabrication. It considers all of its manufacturing overhead costs to be fixed costs. The first set of data that is shown below is based on estimates from the beginning of the year. The second set of data relates to one particular job completed during the year—Job Bravo.

Estimated Data	Assembly		Fabrication		Total
Manufacturing overhead costs	$	3,570,000	$	3,990,000	$	7,560,000
Direct labor-hours		105,000		63,000		168,000
Machine-hours		42,000		210,000		252,000

Job Bravo	Assembly	Fabrication	Total
Direct labor-hours	22	14	36
Machine-hours	14	17	31

Required:

1. If Wilmington used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, how much manufacturing overhead would be applied to Job Bravo?

2. If Wilmington uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with direct labor-hours as the allocation base in Assembly and machine-hours as the allocation base in Fabrication, how much manufacturing overhead would be applied to Job Bravo?

(Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
