Question

Cavern Company's output for the current period results in a $5,250 unfavorable direct material price variance. The actual price per pound is $56.50 and the standard price per pound is $55.00. How many pounds of material are used in the current period?

Answer 1

3,500 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the below formula we get:

AQ(AP-SP)

USD 5,250 (unfavorable price variance )

USD 5,250/(AP - SP) = AQ

So,

USD 5,250/(USD 56.50 - USD 55.00)

= 3,500
