Answer 1

Answer:

Unitary cost= $0.23 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard costs (5,000 bars):

Cocoa 500 lbs. $1.40 per lb.

Sugar 100 lbs. $0.50 per lb.

Milk 250 gal. $1.60 per gal.

First, we need to calculate the total cost:

Total cost= 500*1.4 + 100*0.5 + 250*1.6

Total cost= $1,150

Now, the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 1,150/5,000

Unitary cost= $0.23 per unit
