Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

Direct materials-2 pound plastic at $6.46 per pound $ 12.92
Direct labor-1.50 hours at $12.00 per hour 18.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 10.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead 10.50
Total standard cost per unit $51.92

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $14 per direct labor hour ($21.00 ÷ 1.50). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 7,950 direct labor hours (5,300 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $55,650 ($7.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $55,650 ($7.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,200 units were as follows.

Direct materials (6,570 pounds) $ 43,888
Direct labor (4,640 hours) 56,701
Variable overhead 51,137
Fixed overhead 18,213
Total manufacturing costs $169,939

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.
