Question
XYZ Company makes one product and has calculated the following amounts for direct materials: Actual cost: AQ x AP = 145,000; Standard cost: SQ x SP = 7,000 F5,000 U$2,000 U
Solution
The direct materials variance can be calculated using the formula:
Materials Variance = (Actual Quantity x Standard Price) - (Standard Quantity x Standard Price)
Given in the problem, we have:
Actual Quantity x Standard Price (AQ x SP) = 152,000
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Materials Variance = 152,000 = -$7,000
The negative sign indicates that the variance is unfavorable. Therefore, the direct materials variance is $7,000 Unfavorable. So, the correct answer is not in the options given.
