A company’s master budget indicated that 50,000 units of finished goods should be produced using 25,000 feet of materials at $4 per foot. The company actually produced 48,000 units of finished goods, purchased 27,000 feet of materials at $4.25 per foot, and used 25,000 feet of materials in production. The direct material efficiency variance is
Answer is Option C) $4,000 Unfavorable
Direct Material Efficiency Variance = (Standard Quantity of Actual Output - Actual Quantity) * Standard Price
Standard Quantity of Actual Output =
(Standard Quantity of Materials / Standard Output) * Actual Output
= (25,000 / 50,000) * 48,000
= 0.5 * 48,000
= 24,000
Actual Quantity of Materials used = 25,000
Direct Material Efficiency Variance = (24,000 - 25,000) * $4
= -1,000 * $4
= -$4,000
= $4,000 Unfavorable
