The company used 985 yards of material in order to make 800 scarves in april. the company purchased 1,100 yards at $4.60 per yard. how much is the direct materials price variance?

Answer :

The materials quantity variance = 117.5  It is unfavorable variance

It is calculated as follows:

Standard Quantity Direct materials = 1.2 yards per scarf

Standard Price =  $4.70 per yard

Direct labor =0.15 hours per scarf  and $11.00 per hour

Actual Quantity=  985 yards of material  800 scarves order is there.

Standard Quantity for 800 scarves

= Standard Quantity * no of Scarves

= 1.2* 800

= 960 yards

Actual Quantity purchased = 1,100 yards

Actual Price= $4.60 per yard

The materials quantity variance=

(Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Now we take the actual quantity used in the quantity variance not the quantity purchased.

Therefore the materials quantity variance =( 4.7* 985 )- (4.7* 960)

= 4629.5-4512

= 117.5

It is also unfavorable
