Paxon Co. has a price variance of $5,000 (F) and a quantity variance of $4,000 (U) for raw materials. Given that the total actual cost for raw material is $40,000, what is the total standard cost?
Standard cost is $41,000
Explanation:
Material Cost variance is made up of :-
Material Cost variance = Material Price Variance (given) + Material quantity variance (given)
Material Cost variance = $5,000 (F) + $4,000 (U)
Material Cost variance = $1,000 (F)
Further more:-
formula of Material Cost variance
Material Cost variance = Standart material cost - actual material cost
$1,000 = Standart material cost - $40,000
Standart material cost = $ 40,000 + $1,000
Standart material cost = $ 41,000
Note:- Standard material cost > actual material cost where the outcomes are favourable
like in this question Material Cost variance = $1,000 (F) it is favourable, so standard material cost must be greater than actual material cost
