Question 1 18 pts Almonds R Us [ARU) processes and sells almonds. ARU buys almonds from California and roasts, seasons, and packages them for resale. Currently the rm offers 2 different types of almonds to gourmet shops in one-pound bags.

The budgeted direct labor cost for the current year totals $600,000. The rm budgeted $6,000,000 for purchases and use of direct materials {mostly raw almonds).
