Question

Carltons kitchens makes two types of pasta makers: strands and shapes. The company expects to manufacture 70,000 units of strands, which has a per unit direct material cost of 10 and a per unit direct labor cost of60. It also expects to manufacture 30,000 units of shapes, which has a per unit material cost of 15 and a per unit direct labor cost of40. What is the total direct material cost for manufacturing the pasta makers?

1) $700,000
2) $1,050,000
3) $1,400,000
4) $1,750,000

Answer 1

To calculate the total direct material cost for manufacturing the pasta makers, multiply the number of units of each type by their respective per unit material cost. The correct answer is not provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total direct material cost for manufacturing the pasta makers, we need to multiply the number of units of each type by their respective per unit material cost. For the strands, the company expects to manufacture 70,000 units with a per unit material cost of $10.

So, the total direct material cost for strands is 70,000 * $10 = $700,000. For the shapes, the company expects to manufacture 30,000 units with a per unit material cost of $15.

So, the total direct material cost for shapes is 30,000 * $15 = $450,000. Adding the two costs together, the total direct material cost for manufacturing the pasta makers is $700,000 + $450,000 = $1,150,000. None of the given options match this amount. Therefore, the correct answer is not provided.
