Answer:

Tharaldson Corporation

The materials quantity variance for June is:__________

= $1,480

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                        Standard Quantity    Standard Price     Standard Cost

                                 or Hours                or Rate                  Per Unit

Direct materials      7.4 ounces       $2.00 per ounce          $14.80

Direct labor             0.3 hours        $18.00 per hour              $5.40

Variable overhead 0.3 hours          $7.00 per hour              $2.10

Reported Results in June:

Originally budgeted output 2,800 units

Actual output 2,900 units

Raw materials used in production 20,600 ounces

Purchases of raw materials 21,700 ounces

Actual direct labor-hours 490 hours

Actual cost of raw materials purchases $42,200

Actual direct labor cost $12,800

Actual variable overhead cost $3,400

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity) * standard rate

= (2,900 - 2,800) * $14.80

= $1,480

= (2,900 - 2,800) * 7.4 * $2
