The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows:
The standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate was based on budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead of $117,000 and budgeted activity of 18,000 hours.

a.Purchased 36,300 pounds of raw material at a price of $4.70 per pound.
b.Used 32,100 pounds of the raw material to produce 12,800 units of work in process.
c.Assigned direct labor costs to work in process.The direct labor workers (who were paid in cash)worked 12,520 hours at an average cost of $21.00 per hour.
d.Applied fixed overhead to the 12,800 units in work in process inventory using the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the number of direct labor-hours allowed.Actual fixed overhead costs for the year were $132,700.Of this total,$27,700 related to items such as insurance,utilities,and indirect labor salaries that were all paid in cash and $105,000 related to depreciation of manufacturing equipment.

3.Determine the ending balance (e.g.,12/31 balance)in each account.
4.Prepare an income statement for the year.

Standard Deviation

An indicator of the diversity or variability within a data set, reflecting how much individual data points differ from the mean.

Normally Distributed

Refers to a probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean.
