a. Materials Price Variance - $330 favorable.

b. Material Usage Variance - $90 unfavorable.

The calculation is as follows:

Materials Price Variance = (Actual Quantity × Actual Price ) - (Actual Quantity × Standard Price )

= (110,000 × $ 0.042) - (110,000 × $ 0.045)

= $330 Favorable

And,

Material Usage Variance = Standard Price × ( Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $ 0.045 × ( 108,000 - 110,000)

= $ 90 Unfavorable

Working Note :

Standard Quantity = Number of Bottles × 0.45 ounce of plastic per bottle

= 240,000 × 0.45

= 108,000 Ounces of Plastic

Therefore, we can conclude that

a. Materials Price Variance - $330 favorable.

b. Material Usage Variance - $90 unfavorable.

Answer from: chloedfite2978

Materials Price Variance $= 4620- 4950= 330 Favorable

Material Usage Variance $ = 4950-4860= 90 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a. Materials Price Variance $= Actual Price * Actual Quantity- Standard Price* Actual Quantity

Materials Price Variance $=$0.042* 110,000-$0.045*110,000

Materials Price Variance $= 4620- 4950= 330 Favorable

b. Material Usage Variance $= Standard Price * Actual Quantity- Standard Price* Standard Quantity

Material Usage Variance $ =0.045*110,000-$0.045*108000

Material Usage Variance $ = 4950-4860= 90 Unfavorable

Actual Quantity Actual Price Standard Quantity Standard Price

1 2 3 4

110,000 ounces $ 0.042 240,000*0.45 $ 0.045

= 10,8000

Materials Price Variance $= (1*2) - (1*4)= 110,000*$0.042 -110,000*$0.045

Materials Price Variance $=4620- 4950= 330 Favorable

Material Usage Variance $= (4*1)- (4*3)= 0.045*110,000-$0.045*108000

Material Usage Variance =4950-4860= 90 Unfavorable
