Compute the direct materials price variance and the direct materials quantity variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance. Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.) AQ = Actual Quantity SQ = Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price

Question Completion:

A manufactured product has the following information for June.

                                 Standard                        Actual

Direct materials     6 lbs. at $8 per lb.       48,500 lbs. at $8.10 per lb.

Direct labor            2 hrs. at $16 per hr.     15,700 hrs. at $16.50 per hr.

Overhead               2 hrs. at $12 per hr.     $198,000

Units manufactured                                    8,000

Direct materials price variance = $4,850 U

Direct materials quantity variance = $4,000 U

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                 Actual            Standard

Direct materials price per lbs  $8.10                 $8.00

Direct labor rate per hour      $16.50              $16.00

Quantity:

Direct materials                      48,500         48,000 (6 * 8,000)

Direct labor hours                   15,700         16,000 (2 * 8,000)

Direct materials price variance = SP - AP * AQ

= $8 - $8.10 * 48,500

= $0.10 * 48,500

= $4,850 U

Direct materials quantity variance = SQ - AQ * SP

= 48,000 - 48,500 * $8

= $4,000 U
