1. The Sterling Company uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the units of the company s single product on the basis of direct labor-hours (DLHs). The standard cost card for the product follows:
Â
Standard Cost Card-per unit of product:
Direct materials, 4 yards at $3.50 per yard $14
Direct labor, 1.5 DLHs at $8 per DLH 12
Variable overhead, 1.5 DLHs at $2 per DLH 3
Fixed overhead, 1.5 DLHs at $6 per DLH 9
Â
The following data pertain to last year s activities:
- The company manufactured 18,000 units of product during the year.
- A total of 70,200 yards of material was purchased during the year at a cost of $3.75 per yard. All of this material was used to manufacture the 18,000 units.
- The company worked 29,250 direct labor hours during the year at a cost of $7.80 per hour.
- The denominator activity level was 22,500 direct labor hours.

- Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs were $61,425.
