Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

a)

1. Material Price Variance = (SP-AP)*AQ

Actual Price = 98550/7500 = $13.14

MPV = (12.60 - 13.14) * 7500 = $4050 U

2. Efficiency Variance = (SQ-AQ)*SP

Standard Quantity = 89775/12.60 = 7125 Units

MEV = (7125 - 7500) *12.60 = $4725 U

b) Journal Entry for Purchase and Material Price Variance:-

Purchases A/c Dr $94500 (7500*12.60)

Material Price Variance A/c $4050 (Calculated above)

To Supplier A/c $98550 (Given)

(Being purchases and Price variance booked as per Standard Costing)

Journal Entry for Efficiency Variance:-

Work in Process A/c Dr $89775

Material Efficincy Variance A/c Dr $4725

To Materials Issued A/c 94500 (7500*12.60)

(Being Material issued to Process)
