Hempstead Corporation plans to manufacture 8,000 units over the next month at the following costs: direct materials, $480,000; direct labor, $60,000; variable manufacturing overhead, $150,000; straight-line depreciation, $24,000, and other fixed manufacturing overhead, $272,000. The result is total budgeted cost of $990,000. Shortly after the conclusion of the month, Hempstead reported the following costs:

Direct Materials used $490,500 Direct Labor 69,600 Variable manufacturing overhead 132,000 Depreciation 24,000

Krueger was especially pleased with the fact that total actual costs were less than budget. He was thus very surprised when Hempstead's general manager expressed unhappiness about the plant's financial performance.
