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)March 19, 2013 at 6:40 pm #120088AnonymousInactive- Topics: 1

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)March 20, 2013 at 5:44 am #120105my ans is 1200 too,but the ans given is 1212. faint.
March 20, 2013 at 7:42 am #120115my ans is 1200 adverse too…

so does that mean we are right or
and post more as im hvng my exams on 27march 2013 cbeMarch 23, 2013 at 6:32 pm #120476a.
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 - AuthorPosts
