Calculate the raw materials inventories


Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

Direct materials-2 pound plastic at $6.08 per pound
$ 12.16
Direct labor-1.50 hours at $11.00 per hour
16.50
Variable manufacturing overhead
11.25
Fixed manufacturing overhead
12.75
Total standard cost per unit
$52.66

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $16 per direct labor hour ($24.00 ÷ 1.50). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 8,700 direct labor hours (5,800 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $65,250 ($7.50 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $73,950 ($8.50 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,700 units were as follows.

Direct materials (7,580 pounds)
$ 48,057
Direct labor (5,420 hours)
60,975
Variable overhead
62,691
Fixed overhead
28,339
Total manufacturing costs
$200,062

The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.
