Direct materials: 5 kg at $10.00 per kg $ 50.00
Direct labour: 3 hours at $17 per hour 51.00
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $7 per hour 21.00
Total standard cost per unit $ 122.00

The company planned to produce and sell 24,000 units in March. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,600 units and incurred the following costs:

  1. Purchased 170,000 kg of raw materials at a cost of $9.00 per kg. All of this material was used in production.
  2. Direct labour: 68,000 hours at a rate of $18 per hour.
  3. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $512,040.
