      Direct materials (30 Ibs. @ $5.10 per Ib.) $ 153.00

Direct labor (8 hrs. @ $14 per hr.)   112.00

Factory overhead—Variable (8 hrs. @ $6 per hr.)   48.00

Factory overhead—Fixed (8 hrs. @ $12 per hr.)   96.00

Total standard cost $ 409.00

The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 80% of the productive capacity of 52,000 units per quarter. The following flexible budget information is available.

 

  Operating Levels     70%   80%   90%

Production in units   36,400   41,600   46,800

Standard direct labor hours   291,200   332,800   374,400

Budgeted overhead          

  Fixed factory overhead $ 3,993,600 $ 3,993,600 $ 3,993,600

Variable factory overhead $ 1,747,200 $ 1,996,800 $ 2,246,400
