Direct materials: 2 pound per unit; $10 per pound
Direct labor: 2 hours per unit; $16 per hour
Oceanside produced 4,000 units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, an examination of the direct materials records showed that the company used 8,500 pounds of direct materials and actual total materials costs were $89,600.
