Determine the quantities of raw materials


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

Direct materials-2 pound plastic at $7.54 per pound
$ 15.08
Direct labor-2.00 hours at $11.00 per hour
22.00
Variable manufacturing overhead
12.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead
8.00
Total standard cost per unit
$57.08
The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $10 per direct labor hour ($20.00 ÷ 2.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,800 direct labor hours (5,900 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $70,800 ($6.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $47,200 ($4.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 4,000 units were as follows.
Direct materials (8,150 pounds)
$ 62,592
Direct labor (7,900 hours)
89,349
Variable overhead
57,438
Fixed overhead
24,382
    Total manufacturing costs
$233,761
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.
