Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 5E

De Soto Inc. produces tablet computers. The company uses Thin Film Crystal (TFC) LCD displays for its products. Each tablet uses one display. The company produced 770 tablets during July. However, due to LCD defects, the company actually used 800 LCD displays during July. Each display has a standard cost of $12.50. Eight hundred LCD displays were purchased for July production at a cost of $9,400.

Determine the price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance for July.

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
