Computing raw material purchase price variance


Q1) Standards for one case of liquid weed killer are:

Direct materials
3 lbs. @ $6.00/lb
Direct labor
1.8hrs. @ $12.00/hr
Variable overhead (based on machine hours)
0.6hrs. @ $3.50/hr

In the week ended August 6, the following activity took place:

2390 machine hours were worked

11400 lbs. of raw material were purchased for inventory at a local cost $70680

3800 cases of finished product were produced

11290 lbs. of raw material were used

6720 labor hours were worked at an average rate of $12.25 per hour

$8126 actual variable overhead costs were incurred
