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

Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:

Direct material: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound	$	40.00
Direct labor: 3 hours at $17.00 per hour		51.00
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $9.00 per hour		27.00
Total standard variable cost per unit	$	118.00

The company also established the following cost formulas for its selling expenses:

	Fixed Cost per Month			Variable Cost per Unit Sold
Advertising	$	350,000
Sales salaries and commissions	$	250,000		$	16.00
Shipping expenses				$	4.00

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 21,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 26,000 units and incurred the following costs:

a.	Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $6.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
b.	Direct-laborers worked 68,000 hours at a rate of $19.00 per hour.
c.	Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $655,200.
d.	Total advertising, sales salaries and commissions, and shipping expenses were $364,000, $655,520, and $130,000, respectively.
