Question

Tiger, Inc. budgeted the following overhead costs for the current year assuming operations at 80% of capacity, or 40,000 units:
Total variable overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $240,000
Total fixed overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 560,000
Total overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $800,000

The standard cost per unit when operating at this same 80% capacity level is:
Direct materials (5 lbs. @ $4/1b.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 $20.00
Direct labor (2 hrs. @ $8.75 hr.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 17.50
Variable overhead (2 hrs. @ $3/hr.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 6.00
Fixed overhead (2 hrs. @ $7/hr.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 14.00
Total cost per unit "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $57.50

The actual production achieved in the current year was 60% of capacity, or 30,000 units. The actual costs were:
Direct materials (150,350 lbs.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. $616,435
Direct labor (59,800 hrs.) "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6. 520,260
Variable overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6."u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6 192,000
Fixed overhead "u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6."u00a6"u00a6"u00a6"u00a6."u00a6... 552,000
