Exercise 6-25 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Bonita Construction Consultants performs cement core tests in its Greenville laboratory. The following standard costs for the tests have been developed by the company's controller, Landon Bonita, based on performing 2,100 core tests per month. Standard Quantity Standard Cost Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total standard cost per test Standard Price 0.50 per pound $10 per DLH $9 per DLH $16 per DLH 5 pounds 0.50 DLH 0.50 DLH 1 DLH $2.50 5.00 4.50 16.00 $28.00 At the end of March, London reported the following operational results: . The company actually performed 2,270 core tests during the month. . 8,500 pounds of direct materials were purchased during the month at a total cost of $5,500. . 5,100 pounds of direct materials were used to conduct the core tests. . 840 direct labor hours were worked at a total cost of $9,810. Actual variable overhead was $8,000. * Actual fixed overhead was $15,600. (a) Calculate the direct materials price varlance for March. (Round per unit value to 2 decimal places, e.g.52.75 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. If varlance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter o for the amounts.) 1400 Unfavorable Direct materials price variance (b) Calculate the direct materials quantity variance for March.
