The company produces and sells a single product. The standard cost card for the product follows:


Standard Cost Card%u2014Per Unit
Direct materials, 4.50 yards at $3.80 per yard $ 17.10
Direct labor, 1.7 direct labor-hours at $11.00 per direct labor-hour 18.70
Variable overhead, 1.7 direct labor-hours at $2.50 per direct labor-hour 4.25
Fixed overhead, 1.7 direct-labor hours at $5.50 per direct labor-hour 9.35


Standard cost per unit $ 49.40






The following additional information is available for the year just completed:


a. The company manufactured 15,000 units of product during the year.
b.

A total of 65,000 yards of material was purchased during the year at a cost of $4.00 per yard. All of this material was used to manufacture the 15,000 units. There were no beginning or ending inventories for the year.

c.

The company worked 28,000 direct labor-hours during the year at a cost of $10.70 per hour.

d.

Overhead cost is applied to products on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Data relating to manufacturing overhead costs follow:


Denominator activity level (direct labor-hours) 23,000
Budgeted fixed overhead costs $ 126,500
Actual fixed overhead costs $ 124,000
Actual variable overhead costs $ 72,800
