Fitness Bands Corporation gathered the following information for Job #928: Standard Total Cost Actual Total Cost Direct materials Standard: pints at /pint Actual: pints at /pint What is the direct materials quantity variance?

Question:                                      

                                                            standard total cost        Actual total cost

Direct material

Standard  2000 pints  $3.50/pint                   $7,000

Actual      2,500 pints   $5.00/pint                                                       $12,000

Materials quantity variance= $1,750 unfavorable

Explanation:

Material quantity variance occurs when the actual quantity used to achieved a given level of output is more or less than the standard quantity.  

It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price  

                                                                                               pints

Standard quantity allowed                                                  2,000

Actual quantity used                                                           2,500

Quantity variance                                                                 500 unfavorable

Standard price                                                                     $3.50

Materials quantity variance                                               1,750  unfavorable

Materials quantity variance= $1,750 unfavorable
