The following materials standards have been established for a particular product:

standard quantity per unit of output 4.8 pounds
standard price $12.00 per pound

the following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:

actual materials purchased 3,700 pounds
actual cost of materials used in production $43,105
actual materials used in production 3,000 pounds
actual output 560 units

what is the materials price variance for the month? (favorable or unfavorable)
what is the materials quantity variance for the month? ( favorable or unfavorable

(i) $1,295 Favorable

(ii) $3,744 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual price = Actual cost of materials ÷ Actual materials purchased

                    = $43,105 ÷ 3,700

                    = $11.65

Materials price variance = Actual Quantity (Actual Price - Standard Price)

                                         = 3,700($11.65 - $12.00)

                                         = $1,295 Favorable

Standard Quantity = Actual output × Standard quantity per unit of output

                               = 560 × 4.8

                               = 2,688

Materials quantity variance:

= Standard Price (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)

= $12.00 (3,000 - 2,688)

= $3,744 Unfavorable

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
