Answer 1

Answer:

$18.50 per dispenser

Explanation:

The computation of the standard cost for one tape dispenser would be

= Material + labor + variable overhead + fixed overhead

where,

Material = 2 pounds × $5 per pound = $10

Labor = 0.25 pounds × $15 per pound = $3.75

Variable overhead = $3.25

And, the fixed overhead = $1.50

So, the standard cost would be

= $10 + $3.75 + $3.25 + $1.50

= $18.50 per dispenser
