	Standard Quantity or Hours	Standard Price or Rate			Standard Cost
Direct materials	?	$	4.00	per yard	$	?
Direct labor	?		?			?
Variable manufacturing overhead	?	$	2	per direct labor-hour		?
Total standard cost per unit					$	?

Overhead is applied to production on the basis of direct labor-hours. During March, 700 backpacks were manufactured and sold. Selected information relating to the months production is given below:

	Materials Used			Direct Labor			Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Total standard cost allowed*	$	11,200		$	10,500		$	2,100
