Milsaps Company produces sportsmen’s digital scales. In preparing the current budget, Milsaps’ controller estimates a total of $298,000 in direct materials cost, $242,000 in direct labor cost, and $421,080 in manufacturing overhead costs.

At the end of the period, Milsaps reported actual results as follows: direct materials cost of $303,000, direct labor cost of $200,000, and manufacturing overhead cost $343,130.
