Question

Transcribed Image Text:The Becton Enterprises (BE) produces a gasoline additive, Charger Power. This product increases engine efficiency and improves gasoline mileage by creating a more complete burn in the combustion process. Careful controls are required during the production process to
ensure that the proper mix of input chemicals is achieved and that evaporation is controlled. Loss of output and efficiency may result if the controls are not effective.
The standard cost of producing a 500-liter batch of Charger Power is $135. The standard materials mix and related standard cost of each chemical used in a 500-liter batch are:
