Plastic:
DM price variance = AQpurchased (AP - SP)
DM price variance = 185,000 ($4.45 - $4.50)
DM price variance = $823,250 - $832,500
DM price variance = $9,250 F
DM usage variance = SP (AQ used - SQ)
DM usage variance = $4.50 (185,000 - 180,000)
DM usage variance = $832,500 - $810,000
DM usage variance = $22,500 U
Molding:
DM price variance = 50,000 ($3.10 - $3.00)
DM price variance = $155,000 - ...
