The direct-material price variance is:

Multiple Choice None of the answers is correct. $5,240U. $5,240F. $3,300U. $3,300F.

Enfield Industries purchased and consumed 56,000 gallons of direct material that was used in the production of 15,000 finished units of product. According to engineering specifications, each finished unit had a manufacturing standard of four gallons. If a review of Enfield's accounting records at the end of the period disclosed a material price variance of $5,600U and a material quantity variance of $2,800F, what is the actual price paid for a gallon of direct material? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans. 1 Option 1st $5,240 U
Materials price variance = (Standard price   - Actual price) * Actual quantity
($2.70 - $2.90) * 26,200
-$0.20 * 26,200
-$5,240 or   $5,240   unfavorable
Ans. 2 Option 4th $0.80
*Calculations for standard quantity of materials allowed :
*Standard quantity = Actual output * Standard quantity per unit of output
15,000 units * 4 gallons per unit
60,000 gallons
*Calculations for standard price per gallon :
Materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) * Standard price
$2,800 = (60,000 - 56,000) * Standard price
$2,800 = 4,000 * Standard price
$2,800 / 4,000 = Standard price
Standard price = $0.70 per gallon
*Calculations for actual price per gallon :
Materials price variance = (Actual price   - Standard price) * Actual quantity
$5,600 = (Actual price - $0.70) * 56,000
$5,600 / 56,000 = Actual price - $0.70
$0.10 = Actual price - $0.70
Actual price = $0.70 + $0.10
Actual price = $0.80 per gallon
