Helix Company produces several products in its factory, including a karate robe. The company uses a standard cost system to assist in the control of costs. According to the standards that have been set for the robes, the factory should work 780 direct labor-hours each month and produce 7,800 robes. The standard costs associated with this level of production are as follows:

	Total		Per Unit of Product
Direct materials	$	167,232	$ 21.44
Direct labor	$	23,400	3.00
Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours)	$	1,560	0.20
