The company has estimated the following predetermined costs per tile for its key processes: Estimated cost per tile Mining $0.50 Total cost $ Blending Pressing $0.34 $0.38 per box Metallic Matte $0.69 $0.41 Glazing $0.55 Blossom completed a batch of 16,000 thes that it then divided into boxes of 40 tiles each. If this batch required the use of the Blending. Pressing, Matte, Glazing, and Firing processes, and the tile materials cost $6,080 for the entire batch, how much total cost would be assigned to each box of 40 tiles in this batch? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 25.50.) Firing $0.53
