H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (2,700 pounds) has the following standards:

Ingredient	Standard Quantity	Standard Price
Whole tomatoes	4,500 lbs.	$0.54 per lb.
Vinegar	250 gal.	3.30 per gal.
Corn syrup	22 gal.	12.00 per gal.
Salt	100 lbs.	3.00 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:

4,700 lbs. of tomatoes 240 gal. of vinegar 23 gal. of corn syrup 99 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	$fill in the blank 1
Vinegar	fill in the blank 2
Corn syrup	fill in the blank 3
Salt	fill in the blank 4
Total	$fill in the blank 5
Standard unit materials cost per pound	$fill in the blank 6

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	$fill in the blank 7	FavorableUnfavorable
Vinegar	fill in the blank 9	FavorableUnfavorable
Corn syrup	fill in the blank 11	FavorableUnfavorable
Salt	fill in the blank 13	FavorableUnfavorable
Total direct materials quantity variance	$fill in the blank 15	FavorableUnfavorable
