Cocoa to Chocolate Squares Measurements

I just purchased a container of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa and when I read the label found the following information:

"Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa is perfect to use in any recipe that calls for Dutch Processed Cocoa and can also be substituted in recipes calling for Unsweetened Cocoa or Baking Chocolate.

3 level tablespoons of Cocoa + 1 tablespoon shortening or oil =1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate

1 tablespoon cocoa + 2 teaspoons shortening + 3-1/2 teaspoons sugar = 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.
