Free Flight Corporation, located in Denver, Colorado, produces bicycle accessories, including bicycle helmets which requires a rigid, crushable foam. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,800 helmets, using 2,736 kilograms of foam. The foam cost the company $18,058. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.66 kilograms of foam, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram.
Required:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of foam (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,800 helmets?
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ * SP) to make 3,800 helmets?
3. What is the materials spending variance?
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
(For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg

2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556

3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable

4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable

Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of foam

Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = 0.66*3800

Standard quantity of kilograms allowed =2508kg

2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed

Standard cost allowed for actual output = 2508kg *7

Standard cost allowed for actual output=$17,556

3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance using this formula

Material spending variance = Standard cost - Actual cost

Let plug in the formula

Material spending variance= $17,556- $18,058

Material spending variance= $502 Unfavorable

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

Material price variance = (7- $18,058/2,736)*2,736

Material price variance = $1094Favorable

Material quantity variance =(2508kg-2,736)*7

Material quantity variance= $1596 unfavorable

Therefore:

1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg

2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556

3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable

4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable

Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable
