7-21. Developing standard cost card; discussion One of Sure-Bet Sherbet's bestselling products is raspbery sherbet, which is manufactured in 10-gallon batches. Fach batch requires six quarts of raspberries. The raspberries are sorted by hand before entering the production process, and because of imperfections, one quart of berries is discarded for every four quarts of acceptable berries. The standard direct labor sorting time to obtain one quart of acceptable raspberries is three minutes. After sorting, raspherries are blended with other ingredients; blending requires 12 minutes of direct labor time per batch.
