Answer to Problem 1IE

Solution: The material price, quantity and spending variances are as follows:

    Direct Material Price Variance $ 188 Favorable
    Direct Material Quantity Variance $ 180 Unfavorable
    Material Spending Variance $ 8 Favorable

Explanation of Solution

The material price, quantity and spending variances are calculated as follows:

    Material Price Variance:
    Actual Price (A) (2632/9400) $ 0.28 Per Ounce
    Standard Price (B) $ 0.30 Per Ounce
    Actual Quantity (C) 9400 Pounds
    Material Price Variance = (A-B)*C = $ 188 Favorable
    Material Quantity Variance:
    Actual Quantity (A) 9400 Ounces
    Standard Quantity (B) (1100 units *8 ounces) 8800 Ounces
    Standard Price (C) $ 0.30 Per Ounce
    Material Quantity Variance = (A-B)*C = $ 180 Unfavorable
    Material Spending Variance (188-180) $ 8 Favorable
Conclusion

Hence material spending variance is the sum of Material Quantity Variance and Material Quantity Variance.
