Helix Company produces several products in its factory, including a karate robe. The company uses a standard cost system to assist in the control of costs. According to the standards that have been set for the robes, the factory should work 1,045 direct labor-hours each month and produce 2,090 robes. The standard costs associated with this level of production are as follows:

Total Per Unit of Product
Direct materials $ 49,533 $ 23.70
Direct labor $ 10,450 5.00

Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours)

$ 4,598 2.20

$ 30.90

Direct labor $ 9,880 5.20

Variable manufacturing overhead

$ 4,370 2.30
