Mangia Pizza Company makes frozen pizzas that are sold through grocery stores. Mangia developed the following standard mix for spreading on premade pizza shells to produce 16 giant-size sausage pizzas. Mangia put a batch of 2,000 pounds of direct materials (enough for 800 frozen sausage pizzas) into process.

Calculate the standard mix (SM) in pounds for tomato sauce, for cheese, and for sausage. 2. Calculate the mix variance. 3. Calculate the actual proportion used of tomato sauce, cheese, and sausage. Use these results to explain the direction (favorable or unfavorable) of the mix variance. 4. What if of the total 2,000 pounds of ingredients put into process, 700 pounds were tomato sauce, 700 pounds were cheese, and 600 pounds were sausage? How would that affect the mix variance?

Dairyplus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 300 gallons of plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells the one-gallon tubs for $8 each, and spends $0.14 for each plastic tub. Dairyplus has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Dairyplus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-size portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Dairyplus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 6,400 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Dairyplus would sell each individual portion for $0.58. Packaging would cost $0.05 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.09 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Dairyplus continue to sell only the gallon-size plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain…
