Sue Power contacted Country Products to produce 500 quilt racks as a special order. Power wanted the racks made from teak and to be made larger than the company's normal racks. Country Products designated Power's order as Job #462.

During July, Country Products purchased $346,000 of raw material on account, of which $19,000 was teak. Requisitions were issued for $340,000 of raw material including all the teak. There were 285 direct labor hours worked (at a rate of $11 per DLH) and 2,400 machine hours recorded in 
Department 1: of these hours, 25 DLHs and 320 MHs were on Job #462. 
Department 2: had 1,430 DLHs (at a rate of $18 per DLH) and 180 MHs: of these, 158 DLHs and 20 MHs were worked on Job #462 Assume that all wages are paid in cash.
Job #462 was completed on July 28 and shipped to Power. She was billed cost plus 20 percent.

a. What are the predetermined overhead rates for Departments l and 2?

b. Prepare journal entries for the July transactions.

c. What were the cost and selling price per unit of Job #462? What was the cost per unit of the raw material?

d. Assume that enough pine had been issued in July for 20,000 quilt racks. The RM Inventory manager is a friend of Power and he conveniently forgot'' to trace the cost of the teak specifically to Job #462. 

What would have been the effect of this error on the raw material cost, total cost, and selling price for each unit in Job#462?
