Overhead (1.7 hrs. @ $18.50 per hr.)		31.45
Total standard cost	$	75.25

The predetermined overhead rate ($18.50 per direct labor hour) is based on an expected volume of 75% of the factorys capacity of 20,000 units per month. Following are the companys budgeted overhead costs per month at the 75% capacity level.

Overhead Budget (75% Capacity)

Variable overhead costs
Indirect materials	$	30,000
Indirect labor		75,000
Power		30,000
Repairs and maintenance		30,000
Total variable overhead costs				$	165,000
Fixed overhead costs
Depreciationbuilding		24,000
Depreciationmachinery		72,000
Taxes and insurance		18,000
Supervision		192,750
