In: Accounting
Sheffield has a standard of 1.5 pounds of materials per unit, at $6 per pound. In producing 2000 units, Sheffield used 3200 pounds of materials at a total cost of $18720. Sheffield's total variance is
$900 F. |
$1200 U. |
$480 U. |
$720 U. |
The correct answer is option 4).$720 U.
Here U refers to Unfavorable Variance.
Which means Sheffield has incurred $720 more compared to the standard cost allowed for production of 2,000 units.
