Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows: The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 28,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 33,000 units and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 165,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production. b. Direct laborers worked 58,000 hours at a rate of $13 per hour. c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $729,060
