Question
Problem 16-64 (Algo) Direct Materials (LO 16-5)Information about direct materials cost follows for Jennings Chemicals: Standard price per gallon 18,163 U Required:What was the actual purchase price per gallon?Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to understand that the price variance is calculated as (Actual Price - Standard Price) * Actual Quantity. The price variance is given as unfavorable $18,163, which means the actual price is higher than the standard price.
We can rearrange the formula to solve for the actual price:
Actual Price = (Price Variance / Actual Quantity) + Standard Price
Substituting the given values:
Actual Price = (56
Now, calculate the price variance per gallon:
Price Variance per Gallon = 4.10 (rounded to two decimal places)
Finally, add this to the standard price to find the actual price:
Actual Price = 56 = $60.10
So, the actual purchase price per gallon was $60.10.
