Answer 1

Answer:

$3.40 per kilogram

Explanation:

Calculation for the standard price per kilogram for the raw material

Using this formula

Standard price per kilogram=(Raw Material total cost +Materials price variance)/Raw material kilograms

Let plug in the formula

Standard price per kilogram=($21,920+$1,370)/6,850

Standard price per kilogram=$23,290/6,850

Standard price per kilogram=$3.40 per kilogram

Therefore the standard price per kilogram for the raw material will be $3.40
