Question

Simba Company’s standard materials cost per unit of output is $10.00 (2.00 pounds x $5.00). During July, the company purchases and uses 3,200 pounds of materials costing $16,192 in making 1,500 units of finished product. Compute the total, price, and quantity materials variances. (Round per unit values to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 52.)

Answer 1

Answer:

A)1192 A

B) 192 A

C)  1000 A

Explanation:

The Question is to Compute Simba Company's Total, Price, and Quantity materials Variances

1) Computation of material Cost Variance

= The Standard Cost - The Actual Cost of the material

= 1,500 units x 2 pounds = 3000 pounds

Standard Cost = 3,000 pounds x $5 = $15,000

Therefore material variance = $15,000 - $16,192 = 1192A

2) The material Rate Variance or the Price Variance

= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) Actual Quantity

= Actual Rae = $16,192 / 3200 = $5.06

Material Rate Variance = (5- 5.06) x 3,200

= 192 A

3) The material Usage Variance or Quantity variance

= (The Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate

Standard Quantity = 1,500 Units x 2 Pounds = 3000 pounds

Material Usage Variance = (3,000-3,200) 5

= 1000 A
