Answer:
b) $1000 (F)
Explanation:
We are given:
•Standard price SP = $20
•Actual price AP = $18.00
•Quantity purchased QP = 2000lbs
• Quantity used = 1400 lbs
• Std qty for actual output = 1450lbs
•Actual output = 500 units
To find the materials usage variance for Pericloud Company we use the formula:
Standard price * ( actual quantity of materials used - standard quantity allowed)
SP * ( AQ - SQ)
From the report, we have
SP = $20
AQ = 1400lbs
SQ = 1450lbs
Therefore, we now have:
$20 * (1400lbs - 1450lbs)
= $1000
