Misty McDougall is the manager of the Vernon Bagel Shop. The corporate office had budgeted her store to sell 3,800 ham sandwiches during the week beginning July 17. Each sandwich was expected to contain 6 ounces of ham. During the week of July 17, the store actually sold 4,200 sandwiches and used 25,700 ounces of ham. The standard cost of ham is $0.16 per ounce. The variance report from company headquarters showed an unfavorable materials usage variance of $464. Ms. McDougall thought the variance was too high, but she had no accounting background and did not know how to register a proper objection.
