Concord corporation planned to use 1 yard of plastic per unit budgeted at $91 a yard. however, the plastic actually cost $90 per yard. the company actually made 4600 units, although it had planned to make only 3800 units. total yards used for production were 4660. how much is the total materials variance?

Total Material Variance = $10,060 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Provided Information,

Standard budgeted unit of raw material = 1 yard

Standard price per unit = $91.00

Actual price per yard = $91.00

Actual units produced = 4,600

Actual yards of plastic used = 4,660 yards

Standard yards for actual production = 4,600 1 yard = 4,600

Total Material Variance = Standard Cost for actual output - Actual Cost

Standard Cost = 4,600 $90 = $414,000

Actual Cost = 4,660 $91 = $424,060

Total Material Variance = $414,000 - $424,060 = - $10,060

Since value is negative as actual cost is more than budgeted, the variance is unfavorable.

Final Answer

Total Material Variance = $10,060 Unfavorable
