Degregorio Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following direct material standards:

Standard quantity 3.7 kilos per unit

The company produced 6,300 units in November using 23,780 kilos of the material. During the month, the company purchased 25,950 kilos of the direct material at a total cost of $124,560. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

The materials quantity variance for November is:

A. $2,350 F

B. $2,256 F

C. $2,350 U

D. $2,256 U

Answer 1

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Standard quantity = 3.7 kilos per unit

Standard price = $5 per kilo

Unit produced = 6,300

Total material = 23,780

Computation:

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity × Standard price) - (Standard quantity × Standard price)

Materials quantity variance = (23,780 × $) - (6,300 × 3.7 × $5)

Materials quantity variance = $118,900 - $116,550

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F
