A newly opened plant in Dubuque produces and sells one product. The plant is treated, for responsibility accounting purposes, as a profit center. The unit standard costs for a production unit, with overhead applied based on direct labor hours, are as follows. Manufacturing costs (per unit based on expected activity of 16,000 units or 19,200 direct labor hours): $ Direct materials (1.9 pounds at $10) Direct labor (1.2 hours at $50) Variable overhead (1.2 hours at $20) Fixed overhead (1.2 hours at $30) Standard cost per unit Budgeted selling and administrative costs: Variable Fixed 19.00 60.00 24.00 36.00 139.00 $ $ 4 per unit $1,500,000 Expected sales activity: 12,000 units at $350 per unit Desired ending inventories: 12% of sales Assume this is the first year of operations for the Dubuque plant.
