The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output 6.0 meters Standard price $ 19.00 per meter The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 10,200 meters Actual cost of materials purchased $ 201,500 Actual materials used in production 9600 meters Actual output 1580 units What is the materials price variance for the month

Sagot :

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we have to compute the actual price

Actual price = Actual cost of material purchased × Actual material purchased

= $201,500 ÷ 10,200 metres

= $19.75

Therefore,

Material price variance

= Actual quantity × (Actual price - Standard price)

= 10,200 × ($19.75 - $19)

= 10,200 × $0.75

= $7,650 favourable
