Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 1.2 meters of material at $.85 per meter and 0.1 direct labor hours at $15.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $9 per direct labor hour.

To calculate the standard cost we need to use the following formula:

Standard cost = standard direct material + standard direct labor + allocated overhead

Standard cost = 1.2*0.85 + 0.1*15 + 9*0.1

Standard cost = $3.42
