4. The company’s bid price was:

Direct materials... $ 4,600

Direct labor... 9,500

Manufacturing overhead applied (above) ... 13,300

Total manufacturing cost ... $27,400

Bidding rate... × 1.5

Total bid price... $41,100

If departmental overhead rates had been used, the bid price would have

been:

Manufacturing overhead applied (above) ... 8,760

Total manufacturing cost ... $22,860

Total bid price... $34,290

Note that if departmental overhead rates had been used, Teledex Com-

pany would have been the low bidder on the Koopers job since the

competitor underbid Teledex by only $2,000.
