Answer:

Crazy Delicious Inc.

The standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate is:

= $0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

A batch of chocolate = 1,800 bars

Ingredient Quantity Price Total Cost

Cocoa 480 lbs. $0.30 per lb. $144.00

Sugar 150 lbs. $0.60 per lb. 90.00

Milk 120 gal. $1.20 per gal. 144.00

Total standard materials costs $378.00

Standard direct materials cost per bar $0.21 ($378/1,800)

b) The standard direct materials cost per bar is computed as the dividend of total direct material costs per batch divided by the batch quantity.
