Use the following information for problems 16, 17 and 18:

J & C Electronics, Inc. gathered the following direct materials cost information for the month of March:

The direct materials inventory variance is:


$4,250F
      $4,425U
      $6,800F
      $7,080U


Actual quantity purchased 34,700 gallons Actual quantity used in production 33,900 gallons Actual price per gallon purchased $               8.50 Standard price per gallon $               8.85 Standard quantity allowed for actual production 34,400 gallons

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answers as follows:


Direct Material Price Variance = Actual Quantity*(Actual Rate - Standard Rate) = 34700*(8.5 - 8.85) = 12145 (F)


Direct Material Usage Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Quantity Used - Standard Quantity) = 8.85*(33900 - 34400) = 4425 (F)


Thanks.
