Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard price= $1.4 per pound
Thrope, Inc. purchased 2,400 pounds of direct material for $1.30 per pound.
Thrope used 1,200 pounds in production while the standard pounds allowed for actual production was 900.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (1.4 - 1.3)*2,400= $240 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (900 - 1,200)*1.4= $420 favorable
Answer:
Price variance $240 Favorable
Quantity variance $ 420 unfavourable
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
$
2,400 pounds should have cost (2400×$1.40) = 3360
but did cost (actual cost ) = (2400×$1.30) = 3120
Price variance 240 Favorable
Quantity variance
It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price
Pounds
standard allowed production 900
Actual quantity used 1,200
Difference 300
Standard price × $1.40
Quantity variance $420 unfavourable
