Question

Trico Company set the following standard unit costs for its single product.

Direct materials (30 Ibs. @ $5.10 per Ib.)	$	153.00
Direct labor (8 hrs. @ $15 per hr.)		120.00
Factory overhead—variable (8 hrs. @ $6 per hr.)		48.00
Factory overhead—fixed (8 hrs. @ $9 per hr.)		72.00
Total standard cost	$	393.00

The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 80% of the productive capacity of 65,000 units per quarter. The following flexible budget information is available.

	Operating Levels
		70%		80%		90%
Production in units		45,500		52,000		58,500
Standard direct labor hours		364,000		416,000		468,000
Budgeted overhead
Fixed factory overhead	$	3,744,000	$	3,744,000	$	3,744,000
Variable factory overhead	$	2,184,000	$	2,496,000	$	2,808,000

During the current quarter, the company operated at 90% of capacity and produced 58,500 units of product; actual direct labor totaled 465,000 hours. Units produced were assigned the following standard costs.

Direct materials (1,755,000 Ibs. @ $5.10 per Ib.)	$	8,950,500
Direct labor (468,000 hrs. @ $15 per hr.)		7,020,000
Factory overhead (468,000 hrs. @ $15 per hr.)		7,020,000
Total standard cost	$	22,990,500

Actual costs incurred during the current quarter follow.

Direct materials (1,741,000 Ibs. @ $7.00 per lb.)	$	12,187,000
Direct labor (465,000 hrs. @ $11.50 per hr.)		5,347,500
Fixed factory overhead costs		3,315,800
Variable factory overhead costs		3,104,200
Total actual costs	$	23,954,500
