Hank Martinez, Pressure Reducers CFO, used the following standard cost card in preparing the budget and thought he had done a good job estimating production and sales. He wonders why the variable cost of goods sold deviated from that budget.

	Standard Quantity per Unit		Standard Price		Total Cost per Unit
Direct material	10 yards		$5 per yard		$50
Direct labor	5 hours		$8 per DLH		40
Variable overhead	5 hours		$7 per DLH		35
					$125

Actual variable costs incurred during the year were as follows.

Direct materials purchased and used (133,400 yards @ $5.25)	$700,350
Direct labor cost incurred (79,750 DLH @ $7.8)	622,050
