    Hi John,

    A chemical flavouring, product C is made by mixing two materials together:

    Standard – Kg per batch – $ per kg – $ per batch

    L – 300 – $1.30 – 390
    H – 500 – $2.82 – 1,410

    Input per batch 800kg

    10% standard loss 80kg

    Output per batch 720kg

    For batch 1247 input as 250.5kg of L and 669.5kg of H. Output from the batch was 810kg of product C.

    They have have worked the standard cost per kg as £2.50 – how?

    From the standard cost card, the total cost is $1800 (390 + 1410) for total output of 720 kg.

    Therefore the standard cost per kg = 1800/720 = $2.50.

    I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on mix and yield variances. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
