2. N Company manufactures a kind of product used throughout the machinery industry. The standard price of the materials for the products is $6 per kilogram; the standard quantity of materials allowed per unit is 1.5 kilograms. During July, 2,000 units of the products were finished, for which 3,200 kilograms of materials were used at a total direct material cost of $18.560. +pQ3bX
