Answer 1

Answer: $0.06

Explanation:

The standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate will be:

Cocoa:

Quantity = 480 lbs.

Price = $0.40 per lb

Amount = $192

Sugar:

Quantity = 150 lbs.

Price = $0.60 per lb

Amount = $90

Milk:

Quantity = 120 gal

Price = $1.70 per gal

Amount = $204

Total amount = $192 + $90 + $204 = $486

Since there are 8100 bars of chocolate, the cost per bar will be:

= $486 / 8100

= $0.06
