Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (1,900 pounds) has the following standards: Standard Quantity Standard Price Whole tomatoes 3,200 lbs. $ 0.36 per lb. Vinegar 180 gal. $ 2.20 per gal. Corn syrup 15 gal. $ 8.00 per gal. Salt 72 lbs. $ 2.00 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 K-111 were as follows: 3,300 lbs. of tomatoes 173 gal. of vinegar 16 gal. of corn syrup 71 lbs. of salt

Assume that a batch of ketchup (1,900 pounds) has the following standards: Standard Quantity Standard Price Whole tomatoes 3,200 lbs. $ 0.36 per Ib. Vinegar 180 gal. $ 2.20 per gal. $ 8.00 per gal. Corn syrup 15 gal. Salt 72 lbs. $ 2.00 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 K- 111 were as follows: 3,300 lbs. of tomatoes 173 gal. of vinegar 16 gal. of corn syrup 71 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 K-111. 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.
