Klash Company Adopted a Standard Cost System Several Years Ago

Klash Company adopted a standard cost system several years ago. The company uses standard costs for all its inventories. The standard costs for direct materials and labor for its single product are as follows: Materials (12 kilograms/unit × $7.00/kilogram) = $84.00/unit; direct labor (8 hours/unit × $12.00/hour) = $96.00/unit. All materials are issued at the beginning of processing. The operating data shown below were taken from the records for December: Required:
