How much is the standard cost of one tape dispenser?

Answer 1

standard cost = $18.50 per dispenser

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

standard actual cost

Materials = 2 pounds @ $5.00 a pound 20,900 pounds $4.90 a pound

Labor = .25 hours $15.00 per hour 2,700 hours $15.30 per hour

Variable Overhead = $3.25 per dispenser $36,500

Fixed Overhead = $1.50 per dispenser $17,250

to find out

standard cost of one tape dispenser

solution

first we get here Materials cost and labor cost that is

Materials = 2 pounds @ 5 per pound

material = $10

and

Labor = 0.25 Hrs @ 15 per hour

labor = $3.75

and Variable cost is $3.25 and Fixed Cost is $1.50

so standard cost will be here as

standard cost = $10 + $3.75 + $3.25 + $1.50

standard cost = $18.50 per dispenser
