Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual direct materials used 16,000 lbs. at $4.05 per lb.
Actual units produced 30,000
Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $4.00 per pound.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (4 - 4.05)*16,000
Direct material price variance= $800 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 30,000*0.5= 15,000
Direct material quantity variance= (15,000 - 16,000)*4
Direct material quantity variance= $4,000 unfavorable
