Sheridan's Bakery makes a variety of home- style cookies for upscale restaurants in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company's best-selling cookie is the double chocolate almond supreme. Sheridan's recipe requires 60 ounces of a commercial cookie mix, 7 ounces of milk chocolate, and 4 ounces of almonds per pound of cookies. The standard direct materials costs are $1.20 per pound of cookie mix, $12.00 per pound of milk chocolate, and $9.00 per pound of almonds. Each pound of cookies requires 2 minutes of direct labor in the mixing department and 3 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. The standard labor rates in those departments are $12.00 per direct labor hour (DLH) and $18.00 per DLH, respectively. Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $36.00 per DLH; fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60.00 per DLH. Calculate the standard cost for a pound of Sheridan's double chocolate almond supreme cookies. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51.)
