A pizza company in its first year of operations estimates they will produce 346,125 pizzas but actually produced 336,033 pizzas. Direct material costs were $248,664, direct labor cost $840,082 for 84,008 hours worked. Estimated overhead cost for year was $191,700 while actual overhead was $193,000.

Material cost (per pizza): dough shells $.12, sauce package .20, cheese package .08, meat package .30, assembly package .o4.

Labor costs (estimated): direct labor rate $7.50 $2.50 per hour in fringe benefits, indirect labor (per month): supervisor (including fringe benefits) $3,000, other direct labor (including fringe benefits) $2,000.

Overhead cost (estimated per month): rent on production facility $1,000, utilities $1,475, other overhead: indirect material $2,500, maintenance cost $1,500, quality inspection costs $2,000, equipment (lease costs) $2,500.

How do compute the cost of the $336,033 pizzas using normal costing for the 1st year? Also what would be the best cost driver for allocating overhead to pizzas?

Thanks for any help. I have been trying to work this for almost to days and it just isn't coming out rightl
