A standard cost card for one unit of a product may look like the following: Direct materials (4 pounds @ $1.25 per pound) $5.00 Direct labor (0.1 DLH @ $18 per hour) 1.80 Variable overhead (0.1 DLH @ $2.00 per hour) 0.20 Fixed overhead (0.1 DLH @ $4.60 per hour) 0.46 Total cost per unit $7.46 The standard cost to produce one unit is $7.46. The standard cost to produce 600 units are $ Of course, this is a simplification as the standard cost does not take fixed and variable costs into account. However, if the firm is producing at or near capacity, then the cost per unit of $7.46 could be multiplied by total units to get total standard cost. The standard cost card gives both unit and cost standards. The direct materials total of $5.00 is based on the use of four pounds of material at $1.25 per pound. Similarly, it should take six minutes (0.1 direct labor hour) to produce one unit. This makes it easy to determine total quantities and cost would be for multiple units. If 400 units were…
