4. Use the following information for the Problems below.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Trico Company set the following standard unit costs for its single product.

Direct materials (30 Ibs. @ $4.80 per Ib.) $ 144.00
Direct labor (7 hrs. @ $14 per hr.) 98.00
Factory overheadvariable (7 hrs. @ $6 per hr.) 42.00
Factory overheadfixed (7 hrs. @ $9 per hr.) 63.00
Total standard cost $ 347.00

The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 80% of the productive capacity of 64,000 units per quarter. The following flexible budget information is available.

Operating Levels
70% 80% 90%
Production in units 44,800 51,200 57,600
Standard direct labor hours 313,600 358,400 403,200
Budgeted overhead
Fixed factory overhead $ 3,225,600 $ 3,225,600 $ 3,225,600
Variable factory overhead $ 1,881,600 $ 2,150,400 $ 2,419,200
