Calculation of Standard Costs
Ace Janitorial Supply manufactures a cleaning solvent, Ace Zappo.
Purchase of Ammoniol: The main ingredient is a raw material called Ammoniol. It is purchased in 10-gallon containers at a cost of $155 per container, terms 2/10 n/30. Ace takes advantage of all cash discounts. Shipping terms are FOB Shipping Point; and charges amount to $264 for the shipment of fifty (50) of the 10-gallon containers of Ammoniol. Hazardous materials handlers are required at the receiving dock when the product arrives. These two employees, at an average labor rate of $24 per hour, require one and one-half (1½) each to unload and store the total of fifty (50) 10-gallon containers of Ammoniol.
Use of Ammoniol: The bill of materials calls for 4.86 quarts of Ammoniol per bottle of Ace Zappo Cleaning Solvent, the finished product. Approximately 10% of all Ammoniol is lost through spillage and evaporation (the 4.86 quarts in the actual content per bottle after evaporation and spillage). In addition, statistics show that every 26th bottle is rejected at final inspection.
