Question

Peking Palace Company reported the following: Standard quantity per unit 3 lbs. Standard price per pound $2.75 Actual pounds used 15,000 lbs. Actual price per pound $2.90 Number of units produced 5,070 What is the direct materials quantity variance?

Answer 1

Answer:

$577.5 favorable

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard quantity per unit 3 lbs

Standard price per pound = $2.75

Actual pounds used = 15,000 lbs

Actual price per pound = $2.90

Number of units produced = 5,070

Now,

The direct materials quantity variance is given as;

= | ( Actual quantity - Standard quantity ) | × Standard price

= ( 15,000 lbs - {Standard quantity per unit × units produced}) × $2.75

=  ( 15,000 lbs - { 3 × 5,070}) × $2.75

= | ( 15,000 lbs - 15,210 ) | × $2.75

= $577.5

Since,

Standard quantity is higher than the actual quantity

thus,

$577.5 favorable
