SoundSmart manufactures headphone cases. During September 2012, the company produced 108,000 cases and recorded the following cost data:

Standard Cost Information:

Quantity Price
Direct materials 2 parts $ 0.16 per part

Fixed manufacturing overhead ($29,400 for static budget volume of 98,000 units and 1,960 hours, or $15 per hour)

Actual Information:

Direct materials (193,000 parts @ $0.21 per part = $40,530)

Direct labor (1,760 hours @ $7.15 per hour = $12,584)

Variable manufacturing overhead $12,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead, $30,000
