Hank Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch.

2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce

54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound

60 lemons at $0.80 each

100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each

100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each

3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce

Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.

Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine.

    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
