SCORPION-xisa [38]

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

8.2 + 8.3 + 1.2 + 3.01 = 20.71

Relevant manufacturing cost = $20.71

$7.00 per unit ÷ 4 minutes per unit = $1.75 per minute

$1.75 per minute × 2 minutes = $3.5

$20.71 + $3.5

= $24.21
