Requirement 1.What is the standard direct material cost for one blanket? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

The standard direct material cost for one blanket is $

47.50

.

Requirement 2. What is the actual cost per yard of fabric purchased? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

The actual cost per yard of fabric purchased $

9.00

.

Requirement 3. Calculate the direct material price and quantity variances. (Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter currency amounts in the formula to the nearest cent and then round the final variance amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)

First determine the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.

	Actual quantity purchased	x (	Standard price	-	Actual price	)	=	DM price variance
	8,640	x (	$9.50	-	$9.00	)	=	$4,320	F

Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.

		x (		-		)	=	DM quantity variance
		x (		-		)	=
