Question

MC Qu. 97 The standard materials cost to produce... The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 7 pounds of material at a standard price of $47 per pound. In manufacturing 6,000 units, 41,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $48 per pound. What is the total direct materials cost variance

Answer 1

Answer:

total direct materials cost variance is $6,000 Favourable

Explanation:

first we get here Standard cost to manufacture

Standard cost to manufacture 6,000 units is = 7 × $47 × 6,000

Standard cost = $1,974,000

and

now we get here Actual cost to manufacturing

Actual cost to manufacturing 6,000 units is = 41,000 × $48

Actual cost = $1,968,000

and

now we get here Direct material cost variance that is express as

Direct material cost variance = Standard cost - Actual cost         ..........1

put here value

Direct material cost variance = $1,974,000 - $1,968,000

Direct material cost variance = $6,000 Favourable
