Answer:

1. Total cost of purchases for the month

  • = actual purchases x actual price = 200,000 pages x $0.175 per page = $35,000

2. Materials price variance

  • = (actual unit cost - standard unit cost) x actual quantity used = ($0.175 - $0.17) x 185,000 = $925 unfavorable

3. Materials quantity variance

= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable

4. Net materials variance

  • = materials price variance + materials quantity variance = $925 + $2,550 = $3,475 unfavorable
