Question

Warner, Inc., produces Product Y. Each unit required 1 yard of material. The company produced 470 units during October. However, due to defects in the fabric, the company actually used 400 yards of material during October. Each yard has a standard price of $6.40. The company purchased 490 yards for October production at a cost of $2,865. Determine the price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance for October. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your per unit computations to nearest cent, if required.
