Because the company's customers are governmental agencies, prices are strictly regulated. Therefore, Hart Labs must constantly monitor and controlits testing costs. Shown below are the standard costs for a typical test. $3.20 32.00 Direct materials (2 test tubes @ $1.60 per tube) Direct labor (1 hour@ $32 per hour) Variable overhead (1 hour @ $7.00 per hour) Fixed overhead (1 hour @ $12.00 per hour) Total standard cost per test 7.00 12.00 $54.20 The lab does not maintain an inventory of test tubes. As a result, the tubes purchased each month are used that month. Actual activity for the month of November 2020, when 1,000 tests were conducted, resulted in the following: Direct materials (2.100 test tubes) $3,150 Direct labor (1040 hours) Variable overhead 6,460 Fixed overhead 11,560 32.240 Monthly budgeted fixed overhead is $17,040.
