Stefani Company has gathered the following information about its product.

Direct materials: Each unit of product contains 3.10 pounds of materials. The average waste and spoilage per unit produced under normal conditions is 0.30 pounds. Materials cost $2 per pound, but Stefani always takes the 4.00% cash discount all of its suppliers offer. Freight costs average $0.45 per pound.

Direct labor. Each unit requires 1.30 hours of labor. Setup, cleanup, and downtime average 0.20 hours per unit. The average hourly pay rate of Stefani’s employees is $12.50. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits are an additional $2.40 per hour.

Manufacturing overhead. Overhead is applied at a rate of $7.20 per direct labor hour.

Total standard cost per unit?

3.Chubbs Inc.’s manufacturing overhead budget for the first quarter of 2017 contained the following data.

Variable Costs				Fixed Costs
Indirect materials		$11,200		Supervisory salaries		$35,600
Indirect labor		10,600		Depreciation		7,000
Utilities		7,000		Property taxes and insurance		7,100
Maintenance		5,700		Maintenance		5,500

Actual variable costs were indirect materials $14,500, indirect labor $9,600, utilities $9,400, and maintenance $5,200. Actual fixed costs equaled budgeted costs except for property taxes and insurance, which were $8,200. The actual activity level equaled the budgeted level.

All costs are considered controllable by the production department manager except for depreciation, and property taxes and insurance.

	Quantity	Per unit Cost	Total Cost	Waste Lost (%)	Effective Production (%)	Standard Cost
	(A)	(B)	(C=AxB)	(D)	(E=100-D)	F=C/E
grape concentrate	2700	0.04	108	4%	96%	112.5
granulated sugar	77	0.43	33.11	9%	91%	36.4
lemons	133	0.79	105.07	32%	68%	154.5
yeast tablets	350	0.24	84		100%	84
nutrient tablets	350	0.14	49		100%	49
water	2500	0.001	2.5		100%	2.5
Total						438.9

The total standard cost of ingredients is $438.9

Calculation for the standard cost per gallon

standard cost per gallon

=Total Standard cost/ Number of gallon per batch

=438.9/70

=6.27

Standard Cost Per Gallon

6.27
