Question

Waterway Industries has a material price standard of $2.00 per pound. 6600 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 6600 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 5200 pounds.

Answer 1

The appropriate solution will be "$1320".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Material's actual quantity

= $6600

Standard price

= $2.00

Actual price

= $2.20

Now,

The material price variance will be:

= Actual quantity (Standard price - Actual price)

On substituting the values, we get

=
`6600(2.00-2.20)`

=
`6600* (-0.20)`

=
`1320` ($)
