the per-unit standards for direct materials are 5 gallons at $6 per gallon. Last month, 28,000 gallons of direct material that actually cost $176,400 were used to produce 6,000 units of product. The direct materials quantity variance for last month was?
Answer: |
Standard quantity = 6,000 units x 5 Gallons = 30,000 units |
Direct Material Quantity
Variance = Standard price x (Standard quantity (-) Actual quantity) = $6 x (30,000 (-) 28,000 ) = $6 x 2,000 units = $12,000 (Favourable ) |
Direct materials quantity variance for last month = $12,000 (Favourable ) |
