| Standard cost per gallon of material | $6.00 | |||||||
| Standard cost per hour of labor | $9.00 | |||||||
| Overhead application rate per can | $7.75 | |||||||
| Expected production - cans of chemical | 20,000 | |||||||
| Expected fixed overhead per year | $55,000 | |||||||
| Variable overhead rate per 0.5-gallon can | $5.00 | |||||||
| Actual information for 2018: | ||||||||
| Cans produced | 23,000 | |||||||
| Gallons of material purchased | 35,000 | |||||||
| Cost of material purchased | $250,000 | |||||||
| Gallons of material used in production | 30,000 | |||||||
| Cost of direct labor incurred | $290,000 | |||||||
| Average wage rate per hour | $8.25 | |||||||
