Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for this year. Direct material (20 pounds @ $2.50 per pound) Direct labor (10 hours @ $22.00 per DLH) $ 50.00 220.00 Variable overhead (10 hours @ $4.00 per DLH) Fixed overhead (10 hours @ $1.60 per DLH) Standard cost per unit 40.00 16.00 $ 326.00 The $5.60 ($4.00 +$1.60) total overhead rate per direct labor hour (DLH) is based on a predicted activity level of 37,500 units, which is 75% of the factory's capacity of 50,000 units per month.
