Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities: 1. Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed. 2. Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12 -oz. cans. 3. Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs." The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows: The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked," from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows kicks. expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 50,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,250,000[6,000,000+(300,00050,000)]. a. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. Round to the nearest cent. per can b. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements. c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements, Round to three decimal places. Der can
