Direct Materials Price Variance __________ $
Direct Materials Quantity Variance __________ $
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance __________ $

b. The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the __________ . When lower amounts of direct materials are used because of production efficiencies, the variance would be reported to the__________.

Answer:

A) - $2585  

    $1750

    -$835

B) Purchasing department , Purchasing supervisor , purchasing department

Explanation:

A) calculations for direct material price variance , quantity variance and total direct materials cost variance

Direct material price variance = 51,700 * ( 1.7 - 1.75 ) = -$2585.

Direct material Quantity variance = 1.75 ( 51700 - 50700 ) = $1750  

Total direct materials Cost variance = 87890 - 88725 = - $835  a

B)

The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing department.

When lower amounts of direct materials are used because of production efficiencies, the variance would be reported to the production supervisor

When the favorable use of raw materials is caused by the purchase of higher-quality raw materials, the variance should be reported to the Purchasing department
