Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance
H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (3,128 pounds) has the following standards:
Standard Quantity
Standard Price
Whole tomatoes
4,000 lbs.
$ 0.60 per lb.
Vinegar
260 gal.
2.25 per gal.
Corn syrup
25 gal.
28.00 per gal.
Salt
100 lbs.
2.25 per lb.
The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch K-111 were as follows:
4,250 lb. of tomatoes
275 gal. of vinegar
22 gal. of corn syrup
90 lb. of salt
