Clint prepares and sells trail mix at his store. this week, he uses 3/8 of his supply of raisins to make regular trail mix and 1/4 of his supply to make spicy trail mix.if clint uses 20 pounds of raisins this week, how many pounds of raisins did he have at the beginning of the week?

To find the total amount of raisins that Clint had to begin the week, first add the two amounts that he used together by setting both as common denominators (in this case, eighths). (3/8 + 2/8) is (5/8). Second, set this value as an equivalent ratio to the amount of raisins that Clint has now to the amount he began the week with. (5/8 = 20/x). Since we see that 5 is four times less than 20, we know that 8 is four times less than the amount of raisins at the beginning of the week, which would then be 32 pounds.

Total Cost 3,682

Explanation:

We must use for each department their overhead rate.

Then, we will add the overhead applied in the two department.

JOB A216

Casting overhead Machine hours 3

51 per machine hour casting department

Applied overhead

3 x 51 = 408

Finishing overhead Labour hours 14

25 direct labour finishing department

Applied overhead

14 x 25 = 350

Total overhead 350 Casting + 408 Finishing = 758

Next, we move to the other two cost components.

Direct Labor (8 casting + 14 finishing )*42 = 22*42=924

Direct Materials 2,000

Total Cost 3,682
