Gleason Company has developed the following standard cost data based on 60,000 direct labor hours, which is 75% of capacity. Fixed overhead is $360,000 and variable overhead is $180,000 at this level of activity.

Per Unit
Direct material (3 lbs. @ $2.00/1b.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 $ 6.00
Direct labor (0.5 hrs. @ $8.00/hr. ) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 4.00
Variable overhead (0.5 hrs. @ $3.00/hr.) "u00a6"u00a6 1.50
Fixed overhead (0.5 hrs. @ $6.00/hr.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 3.00
Total standard cost "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6..."u00a6"u00a6"u00a6..."u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 $14.50

During the current period, the company operated at 80% of capacity and produced 128,000 units. Actual costs were:
Direct material (380,000 lbs.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $779,000
Direct labor (63,000 hrs.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 507,150
