Answer 1

$8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total variable cost per unit (standard):

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead

= [3.5 pounds × $4 per pound] + [1 hour × $12 per hour] + [1 hour × $6 per hour]

= $14 + $12 + $6

= $32 per unit

Total variable standard cost:

= Per unit cost × Units produced

= $32 × 250

= $8000
