Calgary Paper Company produces paper for photocopiers. The company has developed standard overhead rates based on a monthly capacity of 80,000 direct-labor hours as follows:

Standard costs per unit (one box of paper):
Variable overhead (3 direct-labor hours @ $4)	$	12
Fixed overhead (3 direct-labor hours @ $12)		36
Total	$	48

During April, 26,000 units were scheduled for production: however, only 20,000 units were actually produced. The following data relate to April.

Actual direct-labor cost incurred was $1,425,000 for 75,000 actual hours of work.

Actual overhead incurred totaled $1,372,500, of which $472,500 was variable and $900,000 was fixed.
