Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance
H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (1,900 pounds) has the following standards:
Standard Quantity
Standard Price
3,200 lbs.
$0.39 per lb.
180 gal.
2.40 per gal.
15 gal.
8.70 per gal.
72 lbs.
2.20 per lb.
Whole tomatoes
Vinegar
Corn syrup
Salt
The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as
follows:
3,300 lbs. of tomatoes
173 gal. of vinegar
16 gal. of corn syrup
71 lbs. of salt
