The company reported the following results concerning this product in June.

The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

The materials quantity variance for June is:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.3 ounces $ 4.00 per ounce $ 25.20 Direct labor 0.8 hours $ 11.00 per hour $ 8.80 Variable overhead 0.8 hours $ 6.00 per hour $ 4.80

Explanation / Answer

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity used - standard quantity used) * standard price

Actual quantity = 19500

Standard quantity = budgeted quantity per unit * Actual units

standard units = 2600*6.3 = 16380

standard price = $4/-

Material quantity variance = (19500-16380)*4

= 12480 Unfavourable
