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.
Ingredient | Materials Quantity Variance | Favorable/Unfavorable |
Whole tomatoes | $fill in the blank 7 | Unfavorable |
Vinegar | $fill in the blank 9 | Favorable |
Corn syrup | $fill in the blank 11 | Unfavorable |
Salt | $fill in the blank 13 | Favorable |
Total direct materials quantity variance | $fill in the blank 15 | Unfavorable |

- Calculating the Direct Labor Mix Variance Mangia Pizza Company makes frozen pizzas that are sold through grocery stores. Mangia uses two types of direct labor: machine operators and packers. Mangia developed the following standard mix for spreading on premade pizza shells to produce 15 giant-size sausage pizzas. Standard Direct Labor Mix Mix Proportion SP Cost Machine operators 0.5 hr. $15 $ 7.50 0.50 Packers 0.5 0.50 12 6.00 Total 1.0 hr. $13.50 Mangia's recent batch (designed to produce 300 pizzas) used 300 direct labor hours. Of the total, 120 were for machine operators, and the remaining 180 hours were for packers. The actual yield was 780 pizzas. Required: Instructions for parts 2 and 3: If a variance is zero, enter "o" and select "Not applicable" from the drop down box. 1. Calculate the standard mix (SM) in hours for machine operators and for packers. Machine operators X hours Packers X hours 2. Calculate the mix variance. x Favorable 3. Calculate the actual proportion of hours…arrow_forwardProblem #8: Standard Costing and Variances Jake’s Cheese Company produces gourmet cheese for resale at local grocery stores. The master budget indicates that the company expects to use 3.0 pounds of direct materials for each unit produced at a cost of $8.00 per pound (one unit = one batch of cheese). Each unit produced will require 0.50 direct labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied based on direct labor hours at a rate of $5.00 per hour. Last year's sales were expected to total 50,000 units. Jake just received last year's actual results showing sales of 45,000 units. Required: (1) Calculate the standard cost per unit for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead. (2) Prepare a flexible budget based on actual sales for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.arrow_forwardPlease help me with part a and part b.....do not give solution in image format thankuarrow_forward
