As part of its cost-control program, JMS usesa standard cost system for all aspects of its operations, including purchases of direct materials. The company establishesstandard costs for direct materials at the beginning of each fiscal year.Pat Butch, the purchasing manager, is happy with the result of the year just ended. He believes that the purchase pricevariance for direct materials for the year will be favorable and is very confident that his department has at least met thestandard prices. The preliminary report from the controller's office confirms his jubilation. Following is a portion of thepreliminary report:Total quantity purchasedAverage price per kilogranStandard price per kilogran40,000 kilograms$50.00$ 60.00Budgeted quantity per quarter5,000 kilogransIn the fourth quarter, the purchasing department increased purchases from the budgeted normal volume of 5,000 to25,000 kilograms to meet the increased demands, which was a result of the firm's unexpected success in a fiercelycompetitive bidding. The substantial increase in the volume to be purchased forced the purchasing department to searchfor alternative suppliers. After frantic searches, it found suppliers in several foreign countries that could meet the firm'sneeds and could provide materials with higher quality than that of JMS's regular supplier. The purchasing department wasvery reluctant to make the purchase because the negotiated price was $77.00 per kilogram, including shipping and importduty. However, this original reluctance disappeared upon learning that the actual cost of the purchases would be muchlower than expected due to currency devaluations (the result of financial turmoil in several of the countries in the region).Patricia Rice, the controller, does not share the purchasing department's euphoria.
