    the standard direct material cost per unit for a product is calculated as follows:
    10.5 litres at $2.50 per litre.
    Last month the actual price paid for 12,000 litres of material used was 4% above standard and the direct material usage variance was $1815 favourable. no stock material are held.

    Q1: what was the adverse direct material price variance for last month?
    Q2″ what was the actual prodcution last month? (in units)

    Q1 FORMULA
    AQ X AP – AQ- SP
    nt sure but I think this what I would have done
    given SP= 2.50
    AP=2.50*4/100=0.10 SO AP=2.5+0.10=2.6
    AQ=12,000 THEREFORE 12,000*2.6-12,000*2.5=31,200-30,000=(1,200)

    a.
    12000 litters should have cost : 12000*2.5=30000
    But actually it costed 12000*2.5*1.04=31200
    So the dircect material variance = 1200
    b.
    standard material cost for the standard production= 12000*2.5=30000
    material usage variance = 1815 (F)
    standard material cost for the actual production = 30000+1815=31815
    Actual production = 31815/( 2.5*10.5)=1212
