Hank Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch. 2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound
60 lemons at $0.80 each
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine.

total $3.36

Explanation:

required for producing 50 gallons of wine:

2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce = $24 / 50 = $0.48 x 1.04 = $0.50

54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound  = $27 / 50 = $0.54 x 1.1 = $0.59

60 lemons at $0.80 each  = $48 / 50 = $0.96 x 1.25 = $1.20

100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each  = $21 / 50 = $0.42

100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each  = $14 / 50 = $0.28

3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce = $18.50 / 50 = $0.37

Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.

total standard cost per gallon:

answer; ( prices are sticky);

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
