During October, the plant was operated for 9,000 machine hours and the factory overhead costs incurred were as
follows: indirect factory wages, $16,400; power and light, $10,000; indirect materials, $3,000; supervisory salaries,
$12,000; depreciation of plant and equipment, $8,800; insurance and property taxes, $3,200.
