BUDGET: BUDGET: The variable standard cost of producing one case of steel brackets is: Direct material (5 $1 per pound) $ 5.00 Direct labor (2 $2 per hour) $ 4.00 Variable overhead (2 $3 per hour) $ 6.00 Thus, total variable cost per case $ The predetermined overhead rate is $7 per direct labor hour ($3 VOH and $2 FOH). Based on a master budget of 20,000 cases. ACTUAL: ACTUAL: During the past accounting period the company produced 25,000 cases and the actual cost per case were: Direct material (5 $.90 per pound $ 4.50 Direct labor ( 2 1/4 $1.80 per hour) $4.05 Variable overhead ($148,750/25,000 cases) $ 5.95 The actual fixed overhead was $105,250.
