Materials price variance = Actual quantity × (Average price − Standard price)= 34,800 kilos × ($4.60 per kilo − $5.00 per kilo)= 34,800 kilos × (−$0.40 per kilo)= $13,920 FavorableMaterials quantity variance:Standard quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity = 21,900 units × 1.5 kilos per unit = 32,850 kilosMaterials quantity variance = (Actual quantity − Standard quantity) × Standard price= (32,750 kilos − 32,850 kilos) × $5.00 per kilo= (−100 kilos) × $5.00 per kilo= $500 Favorable
Materials price variance = Actual quantity × (Average price − Standard price)= 34,800 kilos × ($4.60 per kilo − $5.00 per kilo)= 34,800 kilos × (−$0.40 per kilo)= $13,920 FavorableMaterials quantity variance:Standard quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity = 21,900 units × 1.5 kilos per unit = 32,850 kilosMaterials quantity variance = (Actual quantity − Standard quantity) × Standard price= (32,750 kilos − 32,850 kilos) × $5.00 per kilo= (−100 kilos) × $5.00 per kilo= $500 Favorable    The explanations are as follows:a. Cash decreases by the actual cost of the raw materials purchased, which is Actual quantity × Average price = 34,800 kilos × $4.60 per kilo = $160,080. Raw Materials increase by the standard cost of the raw materials purchased, which is Actual quantity × Standard price = 34,800 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $174,000. The materials price variance is $13,920 Favorable.b. Raw Materials decrease by the standard cost of the raw materials used in production, which is Actual quantity × Standard price = 32,750 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $163,750. Work in Process increases by the standard cost of the standard quantity of raw materials allowed for the actual output, which is Standard quantity × Standard price = (21,900 units × 1.5 kilos per unit) × $5.00 per kilo = 32,850 kilos × $5.00 per kilo = $164,250. The difference is the Materials Quantity Variance which is $500 Favorable. The explanations are as follows:a.
