Answer 1

Medium Speed Pumb

1. Actual quantity purchased and used per unit = 2200/200 = 11

Material price variance = AQ x SP - AQ x AP

   -1320 = AQ (1-1.6)

   -1320 = -0.6AQ

   AQ = 1320/.6 = 2200

2. Total Direct material variance = SQ XSP -AQxAP

= 17x200x1 - 11x200x1.6

   = 3400-3520

= 120 (U)

Large Speed Pumb

1. Standard pounds per unit = 16

Direct material quantity variance = 2250-750 = 1500 (U)

that is SQxSP-AQXSP = 1500 (U)

500xSQ x 1.5 - 500x15x1.8 = 1500 (U)

750 SQ - 13500 = -1500

750SQ = 12000

SQ = 12000/750= 16

2. Direct material quantiy variance , alreadydone in the first step = 1500 (U)
