Question:

Tolbert Manufacturing Company uses a standard cost system in accounting for the cost of production of its only product, Product A. The standards for the production of one unit of Product \(\mathrm{A}\) are as follows:

Direct materials: 10 feet of item 1 at \(\$ .75\) per foot and 3 feet of item 2 at \(\$ 1.00\) per foot. Direct labor: 4 hours at \(\$ 3.50\) per hour.

There was no inventory on hand at July \(1,20 \mathrm{X} 0\). Following is a summary of costs and related data for the production of Product A during the year ended June 30, 20X1.
