Rooney Corporation estimated its overhead costs would be $22,600
per month except for January when it pays the $134,520 annual
insurance premium on the manufacturing facility. Accordingly, the
January overhead costs were expected to be $157,120 ($134,520 +
$22,600). The company expected to use 7,700 direct labor hours per
month except during July, August, and September when the company
expected 9,100 hours of direct labor each month to build
inventories for high demand that normally occurs during the
Christmas season. The company’s actual direct labor hours were the
same as the estimated hours. The company made 3,850 units of
product in each month except July, August, and September, in which
it produced 4,550 units each month. Direct labor costs were $23.60
per unit, and direct materials costs were $10.80 per unit.
