A company produces a industrial chemical. At the start of the year, they had the following cost:

Direct material: (10 pounds at $1.60) - $16.00

Direct labor: (0.75 hours at $18.00) - $13.50

Variable overhead: (0.75 at $4.00) - $3.00

Fixed overhead: (0.75 at $3.00) - $2.25

Standard cost per unit: $34.75
