If Preble had purchased 181,000 pounds of materials at $6 per pound and used 150,000 pounds in production, what would be the materials quantity variance for March?
Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:
Explanation / Answer
1) Raw material in flexible budget = 24000*40 = 960000
2) Material Quantity variance = (24000*5-150000)*8 = 240000 U
3) Material price variance = (8-6.40)*150000 = 240000 F
4) Material quantity variance = (24000*5-150000)*8 = 240000 U
