Question

The following materials standards have been established for a particular product:

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) $1,295 Favorable

(ii) $3,744 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual price = Actual cost of materials ÷ Actual materials purchased

                    = $43,105 ÷ 3,700

                    = $11.65

Materials price variance = Actual Quantity (Actual Price - Standard Price)

                                         = 3,700($11.65 - $12.00)

                                         = $1,295 Favorable

Standard Quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity per unit of output

                               = 560 × 4.8

                               = 2,688

Materials quantity variance:

= Standard Price (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

= $12.00 (3,000 - 2,688)

= $3,744 Unfavorable
