Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance

Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (2,100 pounds) has the following standards:

Standard Quantity Standard Price
Whole tomatoes 3,500 lbs. $ 0.37 per lb.
Vinegar 200 gal. $ 2.30 per gal.
Corn syrup 17 gal. $ 8.20 per gal.
Salt 80 lbs. $ 2.10 per lb.

The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch K-111 were as follows:

3,600 lbs. of tomatoes
192 gal. of vinegar
18 gal. of corn syrup
79 lbs. of salt

a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.

Ingredient Standard Cost per Batch
Whole tomatoes $fill in the blank 1
Vinegar $fill in the blank 2
Corn syrup $fill in the blank 3
Salt $fill in the blank 4
Total $fill in the blank 5
Standard unit materials cost per pound $fill in the blank 6

b. Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch K-111. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Ingredient Materials Quantity Variance Favorable/Unfavorable
Whole tomatoes $fill in the blank 7 Unfavorable
Vinegar $fill in the blank 9 Favorable
Corn syrup $fill in the blank 11 Unfavorable
Salt $fill in the blank 13 Favorable
Total direct materials quantity variance $fill in the blank 15 Unfavorable
