The Jethro Companys costing system has teo direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. MOH is allocated based on machins hours (MHrs.) At the beginning of 2023, the Jethro Company budgeted production of 2,000 units for the period and adopted the followung standards for its manufacturing costs:

Direct Materials: (Input) 10 ft. at $6 per foot; (Cost per Output Unit) $60

Direct Manufacturing Labor: (Input) 4 hrs. at $20 per hr.; (Cost per Output Unit) $80

Variable MOH: (Input) 2 MHrs. at $25 per hr.; (Cost per Output Unit) $50

Input price variances are isolated upon purchase. Input efficiency variances are isolated at the time of usage. The records for the period indicate the following:

Direct Materials Purchased - 25,000 ft. at $6.10 per ft.

Direct Materials Used - 18,900 ft.

Direct Manufacturing Labor - 7,600 hrs. at a total of $167,200

Actual VMOH Cost - $94,300

Machine Hours Used - 4,100 MHrs.

Actual Production - 1,890 Output Units
