Factoryoverhead—fixed (8 hrs. @ $7 per hr.) 56.00
Total standardcost $ 268.00

The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operatingvolume of 50% of the productive capacity of 60,000 units perquarter. The following flexible budget information isavailable.

Operating Levels
40% 50% 60%
Production inunits 24,000 30,000 36,000
Standard directlabor hours 192,000 240,000 288,000
Budgetedoverhead
Fixed factory overhead $ 1,680,000 $ 1,680,000 $ 1,680,000
