Respuesta :

Answer:

(d) $2.18

Cost formula per machine hour for indirect material cost = $2.18

Explanation:

Actual Indirect material cost = $30,444

Actual hours = 17,700

Standard hours = 18,200

Spending variance for indirect material = $8,142

That is favorable,

Formula of spending variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) [tex]\times[/tex] Actual Quantity

= Standard Price [tex]\times[/tex] Actual Quantity - Actual Price [tex]\times[/tex]  Actual Quantity = 1,842

Standard Price [tex]\times[/tex] Actual Quantity = $8,142 + $30,444 = $38,586

Standard Price = $38,586/17,700 = $2.18

Final Answer

Cost formula per machine hour for indirect material cost = $2.18
