Don Johnson is the management accountant for Cari-Blocks (CB), which manufactures specialty blocks. CB uses two direct cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labour. Johnson feels that manufacturing overhead is most closely related to material usage. Therefore, CB allocates manufacturing overhead to production based upon pounds of materials used. At the beginning of 2021, CB budgeted annual production of 200,000 blocks and adopted the following standards for each block: Input Cost/Block Direct materials 0.5 lb. @ $12/lb. $6.00 Direct manufacturing labour 1.4 hours @ $20/hour $28 Manufacturing overhead: Variable $6/lb. 0.5 lb. $3 Fixed $15/lb. 0.3 lb. $4.50 Standard cost per block $41.50 Actual results for April 2021 were as follows: Production 24,000 blocks Direct materials purchased 12,000 lb. at $13/lb. Direct materials used 11,450 lb. Direct manufacturing labour 38,000 hours for $798000 Variable manufacturing overhead $68,150 Fixed manufacturing overhead $155,000 Prepare a schedule of total standard manufacturing costs for the 24000 production of blocks in April 2021.
