ABC Chemical Company manufactures industrial chemicals. The company plans to introduce a new chemical solution and needs to develop a standard product cost. The new chemical solution is made by combining a chemical compound (nyclyn) with a solution (salex), heating the mixture to boiling point, adding a second compound (protet), and bottling the resulting solution in 15-litre containers. The initial mix, which is 12 litres in volume, consists of 14 kilograms of nyclyn and 11.6 litres of salex. A 1-litre reduction in volume occurs during the boiling process. The solution is cooled slightly before 8 kilograms of protet are added. The protet evaporates, so it does not affect the total liquid volume. The purchase prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of this new chemical solution are as follows: Nyclyn $4.90 per kilogram Salex $5.60 per litre Protet $6.80 per kilogram a. 102.36 b. None of the answers given c. 98.36 d. 93.36
