Direct Materials Usage Variances: Direct Materials Mix and Yield Variances Energy Products Company produces a gasoline additive, Gas Gain. This product increases engine efficiency and improves gasoline mileage by creating a more complete burn in the combustion process: Careful controls are required during the production process to ensure that the proper mix of input chemicals is achieved and that evaporation is controlled. If the controls are not effective, there can be a loss of output and efficiency. The standard cost of producing a 500-liter batch of Gas Gain is 5.135.00. The standard direct materials mix and related standard cost of eoch chemical used in a 500 -iter batch are as follows: The quantites of chemicals purchased and used during the current production period are shown in the following schedule. A total of 250 botches of Gas Gain were manufoctured dunng the current production period, Energy Products determines its cost and chemical usage variations at the and of each production period. The quantities of chemicals purchased and used during the current production period are shown in the fallowirig schedule. A total of 250 batches of Gas Gain were manufactured during the current production period. Energy Products determines its cost and chemical usege variations at the end of each production period. Compute the total direct materials usage variance, and then break down this vanance into its mix and yield components. Do not round intermediate computations and round final answers to the nearest cent. (CMA adapted)
