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

Direct materials-1 pound plastic at $7.00 per pound		$ 7.00
Direct labor-1.60 hours at $12.00 per hour		19.20
Variable manufacturing overhead		12.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead		4.00
Total standard cost per unit		$42.20

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $10 per direct labor hour ($16.00 ÷ 1.60). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 8,000 direct labor hours (5,000 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $60,000 ($7.50 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $20,000 ($2.50 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 4,900 units were as follows.

Direct materials (5,100 pounds)		$ 36,720
Direct labor (7,500 hours)		93,750
Variable overhead		59,700
Fixed overhead		21,000
Total manufacturing costs		$211,170

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.
