Belhaven Company produces "collapse-proof" rod and reel cases. In preparing the current budget for the year, Belhaven's controller estimates a total of $400,000 in direct materials cost, $300,000 in direct labor cost, and $300,000 in manufacturing overhead costs.

At the end of the period, Belhaven reported actual results as follows: direct materials cost of $410,000, direct labor cost of $250,000, manufacturing overhead cost $310,000, and machine hours used 12,500.
