  1. Direct Materials Usage Variance, Direct Materials Mix and Yield Variances

    Vet-Pro, Inc., produces a veterinary grade anti-anxiety mixture for pets with behavioral problems. Two chemical solutions, Aranol and Lendyl, are mixed and heated to produce a chemical that is sold to companies that produce the anti-anxiety pills. The mixture is produced in batches and has the following standards:

    Direct Material Standard Mix Standard Unit Price Standard Cost
    Aranol 2,400 gallons $4.00 per gallon $9,600
    Lendyl 17,600 6.00 105,600
    Total 20,000 gallons $115,200
    Yield 16,000 gallons

    During March, the following actual production information was provided:

    Direct Material Actual Mix
    Aranol 62,000 gallons
    Lendyl 138,000
    Total 200,000 gallons
    Yield 168,000 gallons

    Required:

    1. Compute the direct materials mix and yield variances. In your computations, round the standard cost of the yield to 3 decimal places. Use rounded number in the subsequent computations.
