Material price variance = actual quantity purchased x (standard price - actual price)
= 12000 x ($25 - $23.5)
= $18000 Favorable
Where,
Actual price = material cost paid/units of material purchased
= $282000/12000 = $23.5
———————-
Material quantity variance = standard price x (standard quantity - actual quantity used)
= $25 x {9020 - (12000 - 2750)}
= $5750 Unfavorable
Where,
Standard quantity = actual output x standard quantity per unit of output
= 4100 x 2.20 = 9020
(b)
Yes the company should sign the and enter into the long term contract because the actual price company paid i.e. $23.5 was lower than the standard price i.e. $25 which has resulted in the favorable purchase variance of $18000
(2)
Labor rate variance = actual hours x (standard rate - actual rate)
= (25 x 110) x ($15 - $11.50)
= $9625 Favorable
————————
Labor efficiency variance = standard rate x (standard hours - actual hours)
= $15 x (2050 - (25 x 110)}
= $10500 Unfavorable
Where,
Standard hours = actual output x standard hours per unit of output
= 4100 x 0.50 = 2050 hours
