Question

Sitka Industries uses a cost system that carries direct materials inventory at a standard cost. The controller has established these standards for one ladder (unit):

  Standard        Quantity         X       Standard Price = Standard Cost
Direct materials 3 pounds $4.50 per pound $13.50
Direct labor 2.00 hours $12.00 per hour $24.00
Total Cost     $37.50

Sitka Industries made 3,000 ladders in July and used 8,800 pounds of material to make these units. Sitka Industries bought 15,500 pounds of material in the current period. There was a $250 unfavorable direct materials price variance.
