A chemical company produces a product used by manufacturers of plastics. Two basic
chemicals go into this product. The standards for one-liter of this product are:
Chemical 1: 800 ml. @ $50 per liter
Chemical 2: 200 ml. @ $200 per liter
During the last period, 5,000 liters of the solvent were produced and the company
purchased the following amounts of each chemical:
Chemical 1: 5,400 liters @ $59.00 per liter
Chemical 2: 900 liters @ $225.00 per liter
Because these chemicals are volatile, the company uses them immediately upon
purchase, so there are no beginning and ending inventories.
