During june, cisco company produced 12,000 chainsaw blades. the standard quantity of material allowed per unit was 1.5 pounds of steel per blade at a standard cost of $8 per pound. the actual cost was $7 per pound. the actual pounds of steel that cisco purchased were 19,500 pounds. all materials purchased were used. calculate cisco's materials usage variance. a. $10,500 f b. $10,500 u c. $12,000 u d. $12,000 f

Hence, Cisco's materials usage variance is  12,000 Unfavorable

So, the correct option is c. $12,000

Explanation:

Material Usage variance : The computation of material usage variance is shown below:

= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity ) × Standard price per pound

where,

Standard Quantity = Production units × Material allowed per unit

= 12,000 × 1.5

= 18,000 pounds

So,

Material Usage Variance = (18,000 - 19,500) × $8

                                         = 12,000 Unfavorable

Hence, Cisco's materials usage variance is  12,000 Unfavorable

So, the correct option is c. $12,000

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.

b is the correct answer
