Rand Company produces dry fertilizer. At the beginning of the year, Rand had the following standard cost sheet:

Direct materials (5 lbs. @ $2.60)	$13.00
Direct labor (0.75 hr. @ $18.00)	13.50
Fixed overhead (0.75 hr. @ $4.00)	3.00
Variable overhead (0.75 hr. @ $3.00)	2.25
Standard cost per unit	$31.75

Overhead rates are computed using practical volume, which is 54,000 units. The actual results for the year are as follows:

1. Units produced: 53,000
2. Direct materials purchased: 265,000 pounds @ $2.50 per pound
3. Direct materials used: 270,200 pounds
4. Direct labor: 40,100 hours at $17.95 per hour
5. Fixed overhead: $161,600
6. Variable overhead: $121,900
