Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (1,700 pounds) has the following standards: Standard Quantity Standard Price Whole tomatoes Vinegar Corn syrup Salt 2,800 lbs. $0.43 per lb. 160 gal. 2.60 per gal. 14 gal. 64 lbs. 9.60 per gal. 2.40 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: 2,900 lbs. of tomatoes 154 gal. of vinegar 15 gal. of corn syrup 63 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 Whole tomatoes Vinegar Corn syrup Salt Total Standard unit materials cost per pound Standard Cost per Batch b. Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch 08-99.
