Question
Chapter 9, Problem 7MC
To determine
Direct material price variance is the difference between the actual purchase price of raw material and budgeted purchase price of the raw material.
Direct material quantity variance means the difference of actual quantity usage of raw material in the production and budgeted raw material usage in the production. If the actual usage is higher than budgeted then this variance is unfavorable variance.
To choose:
The correct option that indicates the direct material price (F) variance and unfavorable direct material quantity variance.

Assume a company purchased direct material at less than its normal price but it was of such poor quality that the
workers struggled significantly to make it into the finished product. So to try to make up for some of the time lost, the
manufacturing supervisor brought in more senior level workers from another part of the factory. Given these two
situations, which of the following variances would likely occur?
Multiple Choice
An unfavorable material quantity variance and a favorable material price variance.

Using her background in fine art, she developed this specialist chalk paint to be used in the restoration of furniture and to decorate accessories. The chalk paints are exclusively available through Crex Co's network of over 800 independent stockists who are located in over 30 countries around the world. The manufacturing process begins with the three chemicals required for the paint being measured on electronic scales. A worker then takes the chemicals and places them into a machine for mixing. Once mixed the worker removes the mixture from the machine and transfers it to tin containers. The standard material costs per litre of chalk paint are as follows: Litres required $ per litre 0.80 1.20 0.15 1.40 0.10 0.80 1.05 Material Latex paint Plaster of Paris Calcium carbonate At the end of the last period, actual output of the chalk paint was 3,325 litres and actual data relating to this production…arrow_forward
- Brandt Gardner, the owner-manager of a small firm that manufactures feed processing equipment and round-hay bailers, is unhappy with the latest report on financial performance in the Kansas City, Missouri, plant. The company had recently installed a standard cost system in the Kansas City plant with the objective of controlling manufacturing costs. The performance report for the year ended revealed that the variances for materials, labor, and variable overhead were all within the desired ranges, but the fixed overhead spending and volume variances were both significantly unfavorable. Brandt wanted an explanation of the fixed overhead variances and a recommendation. Which do you think is more important for control of fixed overhead costs: the spending variance or the volume variance? Explain.arrow_forwardIronwood Company manufactures cast-iron barbeque cookware.

O Defective materials caused more labour to be used in order to produce a standard unit. The mix of workers assigned to production was heavily weighted towards the use of new, relatively low-paid, unskilled workers. The mix of workers assigned to production was heavily weight towards the use of higher paid, experienced individuals. Because of the production schedule, workers from other production areas were assigned to assist this particular process.arrow_forward
