The Delcarmen Company uses standard costing in its manufacturing plant for auto parts. The standard cost of a particular auto part, based on a denominator level of 4,500 output units per year, included 5 machine-hours of variable manufacturing overhead at $7 per hour and 5 machine-hours of fixed manufacturing overhead at $14 per hour. Actual output produced was 5,100 units. Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $255,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $380,000. Actual machine-hours were 28,500.
