Marvel Parts, Ic., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company's products is a set of seat covers that can be
adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to
the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,060 hours each month to produce 2,120
sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are:
Per Set
of Covers
$ 43,460 $20.50
