Plush pet toys are produced in a largely automated factory in standard lots of 100 toys each. A standard cost system is used to control costs and to assign cost to inventory: Price Quantity Standard Standard Plush fabric $ 2 per metre 15 metres per lot Direct labour $ 10 per hour 2 hours per lot Variable overhead, estimated at $3 per lot, consists of miscellaneous items such as thread, a variety of plastic squeakers, and paints that are applied to create features such as eyes and whiskers. Fixed overhead, estimated at $29,000 per month, consists largely of depreciation on the automated machinery and rent for the building. Variable overhead is allocated based on lots produced. The standard fixed overhead allocation rate is based on the estimated output of 1,000 lots per month.
