Computing materials variances: D-List Calendar Company specializes in manufacturing calendars that depict obscure comedians. The company uses a standard cost system to control its costs. During one month of operations, the direct materials costs and the quantities of paper used showed the following:
Actual purchase price
$0175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production
170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month
200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month
185,000 pages
Standard price per page
$0.17 per page
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
2. Materials price variance
3. Materials quantity variance
4. Net materials variance

1. Total cost of purchases for the month

2. Materials price variance

3. Materials quantity variance

= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable

4. Net materials variance

Explanation:

Actual purchase price  $0.175 per page

Standard quantity allowed for production  170,000 pages

Actual quantity purchased during month  200,000 pages

Actual quantity used during month  185,000 pages

Standard price per page  $0.17 per page

answer; i believe both technician (a) and (b) are correct; /// good luck

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
