Question
Fletcher Company collected the following data regarding production of one of its products. Compute the standard quantity allowed for the actual output. Direct materials standard (6 pounds @ 12 per finished unitActual direct materials used 251,000 poundsActual finished units produced 31,000 unitsActual cost of direct materials used $ 251,000
Solution
To compute the standard quantity allowed for the actual output, we need to multiply the actual finished units produced by the standard quantity of direct materials per unit.
From the data given, we know that:
- The standard quantity of direct materials per unit is 6 pounds.
- The actual finished units produced is 31,000 units.
So, the standard quantity allowed for the actual output is 6 pounds/unit * 31,000 units = 186,000 pounds.
