Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for 2017.

Direct material (20 Ibs. @ $2.10 per Ib.) $ 42.00
Direct labor (10 hrs. @ $8.80 per hr.) 88.00
Factory variable overhead (10 hrs. @ $4.00 per hr.) 40.00
Factory fixed overhead (10 hrs. @ $1.80 per hr.) 18.00
Standard cost $ 188.00

The $5.80 ($4.00 + $1.80) total overhead rate per direct labor hour is based on an expected operating level equal to 70% of the factory's capacity of 70,000 units per month. The following monthly flexible budget information is also available.

Operating Levels (% of capacity)
Flexible Budget 65% 70% 75%
Budgeted output (units) 45,500 49,000 52,500
Budgeted labor (standard hours) 455,000 490,000 525,000
Budgeted overhead (dollars)
Variable overhead $ 1,820,000 $ 1,960,000 $ 2,100,000
Fixed overhead 882,000 882,000 882,000
Total overhead $ 2,702,000 $ 2,842,000 $ 2,982,000

During the current month, the company operated at 65% of capacity, employees worked 435,000 hours, and the following actual overhead costs were incurred.

Variable overhead costs $ 1,765,000
Fixed overhead costs 943,000
Total overhead costs $ 2,708,000

AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AVR = Actual Variable Rate SVR = Standard Variable Rate SFR = Standard Fixed Rate
