Aquatica uses a standard cost system for materials and labor in producing small fishing boats. Production requires three materials: fiberglass, paint, and a purchased trim package. The standard costs and quantities for materials and labor are as follows:
Standards for One Fishing Boat
2,000 pounds of fiberglass ×$1.80 per pound ..... $3,600
6 quarts gel coat paint×$15.00 per quart ........ 90
1 trim package ................... 200
40 hours of labor×$25.00 per hour ......... 1,000
Standard cost for DM and DL ......... $4,890
The following actual data related to the production of 600 boats was recorded for July:
Material Purchased on Account
Fiberglass—2,100,000 pounds ×$1.83 per pound
Paint—1,000 gallons ×$55.50 per gallon
