Question

Exercise 11-5

The standard cost of Product B manufactured by MIT Company includes 2.20 units of direct materials at $5.10 per unit. During June, 27,000 units of direct materials are purchased at a cost of $5.05 per unit, and 27,000 units of direct materials are used to produce 12,100 units of Product B.

(a) Compute the total materials variance and the price and quantity variances.

Explanation / Answer

a)Material price variance = AQ used (AP -SP)

                                           = 27000 (5.05 - 5.10)

                                            = 27000 * - .05

                                           = - 1350 (F)

Material qauntity variance = SR ( AQ -SQ)

                                               = 5.10 [27000 - (12100*2.2)]

                                                = 5.10 [ 27000- 26620]

                                               = 5.10 * 380

                                              = 1938(U)

Total material variance = MPV +MQV

                                        = -1350 (F) + 1938 (U)

                                         = 588(U)

B)PRICE variance = 26600 (5.23- 5.10)

                                   = 26600 * .13

                                    = 3458(U)

quantity variance = 5.10 [26600 - (12100*2.2)]

                                 = 15.10 [26600 - 26620]

                                 = 15.10 * -20

                                   = - 302(F)

Total variance = 588 (U) + (-302 F)

                          = 286 U
