Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)

Direct material price variance = (Actual price – Standard price) x Actual quantity

= ($ 5.66 - $ 5.5) x 26,700 = $ 0.16 x 26,700 = $ 4,272 [Unfavorable]

(b)

Standard quantity of material for 3,400 units = 8 x 3,400 = 27,200 pounds

Direct material quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) x Standard price per unit

= (26,700 – 27,200) x $ 5.5 = -500 x $ 5.5 = - $ 2,750 [Favorable]

(c)

Total direct material cost variance = Direct material price variance + Direct material quantity variance

= $ 4,272 - $ 2,750 = $ 1,522 [Unfavorable]
