Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance

Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (2,400 pounds) has the following standards:

  Standard Quantity Standard Price
Whole tomatoes 4,000 lbs. $ 0.46 per lb.
Vinegar 220 gal. $ 2.80 per gal.
Corn syrup 19 gal. $ 10.20 per gal.
Salt 88 lbs. $ 2.60 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:

4,200 lbs. of tomatoes
211 gal. of vinegar
20 gal. of corn syrup
87 lbs. of salt

a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.

Ingredient Standard Cost per Batch
Whole tomatoes $fill in the blank 1
Vinegar $fill in the blank 2
Corn syrup $fill in the blank 3
Salt $fill in the blank 4
Total $fill in the blank 5
Standard unit materials cost per pound $fill in the blank 6

b.  Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch K-111. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
