Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct materials 7.30 pounds $ 2.25 per pound $16.43
Actual:
16,600 pounds of material was purchased for $2.05 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,000 units of Zoom.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.25 - 2.05)*16,600
Direct material price variance= $3,320 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 2,000*7.3= 14,600
Direct material quantity variance= (14,600 - 16,600)*2.25
Direct material quantity variance= $4,500 unfavorable
