#1Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company's prod-ucts is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 780 hours each month to produce 2,600 sets of covers. The standard costs associ-ated with this level of production are: Total Per Set
