Total cost / bottle = $0.16 (bottle) + $0.01 (label) + $0.14 (FC—machine) = $0.31/ bottle CM (6 bottles) = ($9/6 – 0.31(6 bottles)) = $1.19 for one 6 pack
∙ 40% of sales mix
CM (12 bottles) = ($16/12 – 0.31(12 bottles)) =
$1.02 for one 12 pack
∙ 60% of sales mix Batch Costs (Ingredients) ∙ 1 batch makes 25, 549.. 355ml bottles =
