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:

Direct materials: 6 pounds at $9 per pound	$	54
Direct labor: 3 hours at $15 per hour		45
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $5 per hour		15
Total standard cost per unit	$	114

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 20,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 25,000 units and incurred the following costs:

a.	Purchased 180,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
b.	Direct laborers worked 61,000 hours at a rate of $16 per hour.
c.	Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $306,220.
