Cinturon Corporation produces high-quality leather belts. The company's plant in Boise uses a standard costing system and has set the following standards for materials and labor:
| Leather (2 strips @ $5.00) | $10.00 |
| Direct labor (0.5 hr. @ $9.00) | 4.50 |
| Total prime cost | $14.50 |
During the first month of the year, the Boise plant produced 46,000 belts. Actual leather purchased was 130,000 strips at $3.10 per strip. There were no beginning or ending inventories of leather. Actual direct labor was 33,000 hours at $13.00 per hour.
