The plastic material can usually be purchased for $21.00 per pound, and the wire costs $2.40 per foot. The labor necessary to assemble a switch consists of two types. The first type of labor is assembly, which takes 3.4 hours. These workers are paid $26.00 per hour. The second type of labor is finishing, which takes 1 hours. These workers are paid $28.00 per hour. Overhead is applied using labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $14.90 per labor hour. The fixed overhead rate is $15.60 per hour. Round your answer to two decimal places. What is the standard Cost?
