Direct Labor

2 labor hours * 70,800 units * $ 12 per hour                                 $ 1,699,200

Variable Manufacturing Overhead

$ 10 * 70,800 units * 2 labor hours                                                $ 1,416,000

Cost of goods sold                                                                          $3,964,800

Computation  of gross margin

Sales Revenue                                                                               $ 4,956,000

Cost of goods sold                                                                        $ 3, 964,800

Gross Margin                                                                                 $     991,200

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
