Question

Last month, Bramble Corporation purchased and used the same quantity of material in producing its product, speed bumps for traffic control (Click the icon to view the table.) Complete the following table (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Medium Large Direct materials information Standard pounds per unit Standard price per pound Actual quantity purchased and used per unit Actual price paid for material per pound Direct materials price variance Direct materials quantity variance Total direct material variance Number of units produced speed bump speed bump 10.67 $1.80 16.5 $ 2.60 $ 1.00 10 $ 1.40 $ 880 U$ 6,600 U 1,350 F 280 $ 5,250 U $ 600 F 200 500

Explanation / Answer

Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual Quantity

-880 = (1 - 1.40) x Actual Quantity

- 880 = -0.40 x actual quantity

Actual Quantity = -880 / -0.40

= 2200 Pounds

First answer is wrong

Total Material Variance = Purchase price variance + Quantity variance

= -880 + 600

= 280 Unfav

Second is correct.

Quantity Variance = (Standard Price x standard quantity - standard price x actual quantity)

1350 = (1.80 x standard quantity - 1.80 x 500 x 16.5)

1350 = (1.80 x standard quantity - 14850)

(1350 + 14850) / 1.80 = standard quantity

standard quantity = 9000 pounds

Per unit standard quantity = 9000 / 500 = 18 pounds

third answer is incorrect.

Total Material Variance = Purchase price variance + Quantity variance

-5250 = -6600 + quantity variance

quantity variance = 1350 fav

fourth answer is correct.
