Answer:
total $3.36
Explanation:
required for producing 50 gallons of wine:
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce = $24 / 50 = $0.48 x 1.04 = $0.50
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound = $27 / 50 = $0.54 x 1.1 = $0.59
60 lemons at $0.80 each = $48 / 50 = $0.96 x 1.25 = $1.20
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each = $21 / 50 = $0.42
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each = $14 / 50 = $0.28
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce = $18.50 / 50 = $0.37
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
total standard cost per gallon:
- grape concentrate = $0.50
- granulated sugar = $0.59
- lemons = $1.20
- yeast tablets = $0.42
- nutrient tablets = $0.28
- water = $0.37
- total $3.36
