Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (900 pounds) has the following standards:

	Standard Quantity		Standard Price
Whole tomatoes	1,500	lbs.	$0.52	per lb.
Vinegar	80	gal.	3.20	per gal.
Corn syrup	7	gal.	11.60	per gal.
Salt	32	lbs.	2.90	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 08-99 were as follows:

1,600 lbs. of tomatoes

77 gal. of vinegar

8 gal. of corn syrup

31 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	$
Vinegar
Corn syrup
Salt
Total	$
Standard unit materials cost per pound	$

b. Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch 08-99. 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	$
