Question

Bandar Industries manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products is a football helmet that requires special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 35,000 helmets, using 22,500 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $171,000. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.6 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 35,000 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 21,000 kg of plastic

2. $168,000

3. $3000 Unfavorable

4. Materials Price variance $9000 Favaorable

Materials Quantity variance $12,000 Unvaforable

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets

Using this formula

Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = Standard quantity required per helmet x Total no. of helmets

Let plug in the formula

Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = 0.60 kg x 35,000

Standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) = 21,000 kg of plastic

Therefore The standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 35,000 helmets is 21,000 kg of plastic

2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) to make 35,000 helmets

Using this formula

Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) = Standard quantity required per helmet x Standard cost per kg x Total no. of helmets

Let plug in the formula

Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP)= 0.60 x $8 x 35,000

Standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP)= $168,000

Therefore The standard materials cost allowed (SQ X SP) to make 35,000 helmets is $168,000

3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance

First step is to calculate the Materials Price variance

Using this formula

Materials Price variance = (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)

Let plug in the

Materials Price variance= $171,000 - (22,500 x $8)

Materials Price variance= $171,000 - 180,000

Materials Price variance= -$9,000

= $9000 Favaorable

Second step is to calculate the Materials Quantity variance using this formula

Materials Quantity variance = (AQ × SP) - (SQxSP)

Let plug in the formula

Materials Quantity variance=

Materials Quantity variance= 180,000 - $168,000

Materials Quantity variance=$12,000

Materials Quantity variance= $12,000 Unvaforable

Now let calculate the Materials spending variance using this formula

Materials spending variance = Price variance + Quantity variance

Let plug in the formula

Materials spending variance= -$9,000+ $12,000 Materials spending variance= $3,000

Materials spending variance= $3000 Unfavorable

Therefore Materials spending variance is $3000 Unfavorable

4. Calculation to determine the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance

Calculation for the Materials Price variance Using this formula

Materials Price variance = (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)

Let plug in the formula

Materials Price variance= $171,000 - (22,500 x $8)

Materials Price variance= $171,000 - 180,000

Materials Price variance= -$9,000

Materials Price variance= $9000 Favaorable

Therefore Materials Price variance is $9000 Favaorable

Calculation to determine Materials Quantity variance using this formula

Materials Quantity variance = (AQ × SP) - (SQxSP)

Let plug in the formula

Materials Quantity variance= = 180,000 - $168,000

Materials Quantity variance=$12,000

Materials Quantity variance= $12,000 Unvaforable

Therefore Materials Quantity variance is $12,000 Unvaforable
