Jones Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (1,200 pounds) has the following standards:
Standard Quantity |
Standard Price |
|||
Whole tomatoes |
2,000 |
lbs. |
$ 0.42 |
per lb. |
Vinegar |
110 |
gal. |
$ 2.60 |
per gal. |
Corn syrup |
9 |
gal. |
$ 9.30 |
per gal. |
Salt |
44 |
lbs. |
$ 2.30 |
per lb. |
The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch K-111 were as follows:
2,100 lbs. of tomatoes |
106 gal. of vinegar |
10 gal. of corn syrup |
43 lbs. of salt |
a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.
