Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below. Direct materials 2 pound plastic at $7.37 per pound $ 14.74 Direct labor 2.00 hours at $12.00 per hour 24.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 10.00 Total standard cost per unit $62.74 The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $12 per direct labor hour ($24.00/ 2.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,800 direct labor hours (5,900 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $82,600 ($7.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $59,000 ($5.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,400 units were as follows. Direct materials (6,940 pounds) $ 52,189 Direct labor (6,670 hours) 82,108 Variable overhead 62,259 Fixed overhead 21,161 Total manufacturing costs $217,717 The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.
