Mickley Corporation produces two products, Alpha6s and Zeta7s, which pass through two operations, Sintering and Finishing. Each of the products uses two raw materialsX442 and Y661. The company uses a standard cost system, with the following standards for each product (on a per unit basis):

	Raw Material			Standard Labor Time
Product	X442	Y661		Sintering	Finishing
Alpha6	1.5 kilos	2.5 liters		0.20 hours	0.90 hours
Zeta7	3.5 kilos	3.5 liters		0.35 hours	0.80 hours

Information relating to materials purchased and materials used in production during May follows:

Material	Purchases		Purchase Cost	Standard Price		Used in Production
X442	14,700	kilos	$64,680	$4.20	per kilo	9,200	kilos
Y661	15,700	liters	$23,550	$1.60	per liter	13,700	liters

The following additional information is available:

The company recognizes price variances when materials are purchased.

The standard labor rate is $22.00 per hour in Sintering and $20.50 per hour in Finishing.

During May, 1,200 direct labor-hours were worked in Sintering at a total labor cost of $27,840, and 2,920 direct labor-hours were worked in Finishing at a total labor cost of $65,700.

Production during May was 2,200 Alpha6s and 1,700 Zeta7s.
