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.
