The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 990 hours each month to produce 1,980 sets of covers (i.e., the standard hours per set of covers is 0.5 standard hour per set, calculated as 990 standard hours 1,980 sets). The standard costs associated with this level of production are:

Total Per Set

of Covers

Direct materials $ 51,163 $ 25.84

Direct labor $ 8,910 4.50

Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) $ 2,970 1.50

$ 31.84

During August, the factory worked only 1,000 direct labor-hours and produced 2,050 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month:
