Utease Corporation has many production plants across the midwestern United States. A newly opened plant, the Bellingham plant, produces and sells one product. The plant is treated, for responsibility accounting purposes, as a profit center. The unit standard costs for a production unit, with overhead applied based on direct labor hours, are as follows:

Manufacturing costs (per unit based on expected activity of 13,000 units or 19,500 direct labor hours):
Direct materials (2.2 pounds at $20) $ 44
Direct labor (1.5 hours at $62) 93
Variable overhead (1.5 hours at $20) 30
Fixed overhead (1.5 hours at $30) 45

Standard cost per unit $ 212
Budgeted selling and administrative costs:
Variable $ 5 per unit
Fixed $ 1,000,000

Expected sales activity: 9,000 units at $400 per unit

Desired ending inventories: 10% of sales
