    Price variance $240 Favorable

    Quantity variance $ 420 unfavourable

    Explanation:

    A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.

    $

    2,400 pounds should have cost (2400*$1.40) = 3360

    but did cost (actual cost) = (2400*$1.30) = 3120

    Price variance 240 Favorable

    Quantity variance

    It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price

    Pounds

    standard allowed production 900

    Actual quantity used 1,200

    Difference 300

    Standard price * $1.40

    Quantity variance $420 unfavourable

    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Standard price = $1.4 per pound

    Thrope, Inc. purchased 2,400 pounds of direct material for $1.30 per pound.

    Thrope used 1,200 pounds in production while the standard pounds allowed for actual production was 900.

    To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

    Direct material price variance = (standard price - actual price) * actual quantity

    Direct material price variance = (1.4 - 1.3) * 2,400 = $240 favorable

    Direct material quantity variance = (standard quantity - actual quantity) * standard price

    Direct material quantity variance = (900 - 1,200) * 1.4 = $420 favorable
