The formula to calculate the cost per ounce is:
\[ CPO = \frac{TC}{TW} \]
Where:
A cost per ounce is the total cost to produce a unit per weight of a unit made in ounces. It helps in determining the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of production, especially in industries where weight is a critical factor.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the cost per ounce using the formula:
\[ CPO = \frac{50}{25} = 2 \]
The Cost Per Ounce (CPO) is $2 per ounce.
