Fixed overhead          13,000        13,000

Total overhead         $19,845     $22,100

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct materials required per purse = 2 pounds

Cost of a pound of direct materials = $5

Direct materials cost per unit = $10 ($5 * 2)

Direct labor cost per unit = $8.40 (0.7 * $12)

Variable overhead = $2 per direct labor hour

Variable overhead per unit = $1.40 ($2 * 0.7)

Fixed manufacturing overhead per month = $13,000

Desired ending inventory of direct materials = 30% required the next month

August ending direct materials inventory = 4,280 pounds
