The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: What is the materials price variance for the month?
A.$14,850 U
B.$8,250 U
C.$8,640 U
<underLine>D.</underLine> $2,860 F
AP = $60,500 / 4,400 = $13.75
Materials price variance = AQ (AP - SP) = 4,400 ($13.75 - $14.40) = $2,860 F

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Materials price variance = AQ (AP - SP) = 5,000 ($4.50 - $4.70) = $1,000 F
SQ = 2*2,400 = 4,800
Materials quantity variance = SP (AQ - SQ) = $4.70 (4,850 - 4,800) = $235 U
