Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (800 pounds) has the following standards: 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-54 were as follows: 1, 400 lbs. of tomatoes 67 gal. of vinegar 7 gal. of corn syrup 27 lbs. of salt a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent. b. Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch K-54. 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. Unfavorable variances can be thought of as increasing costs (a debit). Favorable variances can be thought of as decreasing costs (a credit). The direct material cost variance is the difference between the actual and standard material cost Remember the process discussed in chapter for calculating standard cost
