Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Factory Overhead Cost Variance Analysis Mackinaw Inc. processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 78,000 units of product were as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Factory overhead Standard Costs 241,800 lbs. at $5.50 19,500 hrs. at $16.80 Rates per direct labor hr., based on 100% of normal capacity of 20,350 direct labor hrs.: Variable cost, $4.00 Fixed cost, $6.30 Each unit requires 0.25 hour of direct labor. Actual Costs 239,400 lbs. at $5.40 19,950 hrs. at $17.10 $77,220 variable cost $128,205 fixed cost
