Question

Caribou Fruit Drink Company planned to make 200,000 containers of apple juice. It expected to use two cups of frozen apple concentrate to make each container of juice, thus using 400,000 cups of frozen concentrate. The standard price of one cup of apple concentrate is $1.20. Caribou actually paid $499,100 to purchase 402,500 cups of concentrate, which was used to make 201,000 containers of apple juice.

Required:
(a) Compute the actual price per cup of concentrate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
(b) Compute the standard quantity (number of cups of concentrate) required to produce the containers.
(c) Compute the materials price variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

Answer 1

Actual Price 1.24 Per Cup (499100/402500)

Standard quantity 402000 Cups (201000*2)

Total Price Variance 16100 U ( unfavorable) (1.2-1.24)*402500
