Question

Decision Making Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows:

A B C D E
1 Orange Cola Lemon-Lime Root Beer
2 Concentrate $ 4,625 $129,000 $ 105,000 $ 7,600
3 Water 1,250 30,000 25,000 2,000
4 Sugar 3,000 72,000 60,000 4,800
5 Bottles 5,500 132,000 110,000 8,800
6 Flavor changeover 3,000 4,800 4,000 10,000
7 Conversion cost 1,750 24,000 20,000 2,800
8 Total cost transferred to finished goods $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000
9 Number of cases 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000
10 Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors.
Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places
Orange Cola Lemon-Lime Root Beer
per case $_____ $_____ $_____ $_____

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

As per the scenario the solution of cost per case for each of the four flavors is shown below:-

Particulars Orange Cola Lemon Lime Root Beer

Total Cost

transferred to

finished goods a $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000

Number of cases b 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000

Cost Per Case $7.65 $6.53 $6.48 $9

(c = a ÷ b)

Therefore we divide the total cost transferred to finished out by number of cases to figure out the cost per case.
