$[$The following information applies to the questions displayed below.$]$

Antuan Company set the following standard costs per unit for its product.

Direct materials $(5\mathrm{.}0$ pounds @ $$4\mathrm{.}00$ per pound$)$ $ $20\mathrm{.}00$

Direct labor $(1\mathrm{.}8$ hours @ $$13\mathrm{.}00$ per hour$)23\mathrm{.}40$

Overhead $(1\mathrm{.}8$ hours @ $$18\mathrm{.}50$ per hour$)33\mathrm{.}30$

Standard cost per unit $ $76\mathrm{.}70$

The standard overhead rate $($$$18\mathrm{.}50$ per direct labor hour$)$ is based on a predicted activity level of $75\%$ of the factory$$s capacity of $20,000$ units per month. Following are the company$$s budgeted overhead costs per month at the $75\%$ capacity level.
