Firecracker Company has developed the following direct materials standards for one of its products. Direct materials: 15 pounds * $16 per pound The following activity occurred during the month of October: Materials purchased: 10,000 pounds costing $170,000 7,200 pounds 500 units Materials used: Units produced: The direct materials usage variance is 1) $4,800 F 2) $4,800 U 3) $40,000 F
Expected sales units = 5,000
Variable selling and administrative expense per unit = $19.40
Budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense = $137,380
Depreciation expense per month = $8,580
| Selling and Administrative Expense Budget | |
| For the Month of October | |

The Cash disbursement for selling and administrative expense = $225,800
Third option is correct.
2.
Standard price = $16 per pound
Standard quantity per unit = 15 pound
Actual output = 500 units
Standard quantity for Actual output = Standard quantity per unit x Actual output
= 15 x 500
= 7,500 pounds
Actual quantity used = 7,200 pounds
Direct materials usage variance = Standard price x (Standard quantity- Actual quantity)
= 16 x (7,500-7,200)
= 16 x 300
= $4,800 Favorable
The direct materials usage variance is $4,800 F.
First option is correct.
