$16-5,6,7)$

The River Plant of Carlisle, Incorporated produces a particular metal fixture used in aerospace and maritime industries.

The following information is available for the last operating month:

The plant produced and sold $27,600$ fixtures for $$72$ each. Budgeted production was $30,000$ fixtures.

Standard variable costs per fixture follow:

Fixed production overhead costs:

Monthly budget $$810,000$

Fixed overhead is applied at the rate of $$30$ per fixture.
