Question 1: Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:

Direct material: 6 pounds at $8.00 per pound$48.00Direct labor: 4 hours at $17 per hour 68.00Variable overhead: 4 hours at $4 per hour 16.00Total standard variable cost per unit$132.00

The company also established the following cost formulas for its selling expenses:

Fixed Cost per Month Variable Cost per Unit SoldAdvertising$370,000 Sales salaries and commissions$440,000 $29.00 Shipping expenses $20.00
