    Standard cost per pound = $34.21

    Explanation:

    The standard cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and total overhead. We will calculate each separate.

    Direct material:

    10 ounces cookie mix for $0.80 = $8

    5 ounces of milk chocolate for $4 = $20

    1 ounce of almonds for $12 the pound = $0.75

    1 pound = 16 ounces

    1 ounce = 0.0625*$12 = $0.75

    Direct labor:

    1 minute in the mixing department

    2 minutes in the baking department.

    Mixing = $14.40 * (1/60) = $0.24

    Baking = $18 * (2/60) = $0.6

    Overhead:

    Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $32.40 per DLH

    Fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60.00 per DLH.

    Variable = 32.40 * (3/60) = $1.62

    Fixed = 60 * (3/60) = $3

    Standard cost per pound = (8 + 20 + 0.75) + (0.24 + 0.6) + (1.62 + 3) = $34.21
