Global company makes a product that is expected to use 2.2 pounds of material per unit of product. the material has a standard cost of $2 per pound. global actually used 2.3 pounds of material per unit of product made in january. the actual cost of material was $1.95 per pound. based on this information alone, the materials variances for the january production would be: multiple choice unfavorable for price and unfavorable for usage. favorable for price and unfavorable for usage. favorable for price and favorable for usage.

Favorable for price and unfavorable for usage.

Explanation:

Provided Information,

Standard Material = 2.2 pounds per unit

Standard cost = $2 per pound

Actual Quantity = 2.3 pounds per unit

Actual cost = $1.95 per pound

In Material Price variance we have = (Standard Price - Actual Price) Actual Quantity

Since Standard Price $2 is more than actual price = $1.95 the variance is favorable.

In material quantity variance we have = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate

Since actual quantity used = 2.3 pounds is more than standard 2.2 pounds the variance will be unfavorable

Therefore, Price Variance = Favorable, and Quantity Variance = Unfavorable.
