Material Variances Harmon Household Products, Inc. manufactures
a number of consumer items for general household use. One of these
products, a chopping board, requires an expensive hardwood. During
a recent month, the company manufactured 4,000 chopping boards. The
firm purchased and used 11,000 board feet of hardwood. The hardwood
cost the company $18,700. The company’s standards for one chopping
board are 2.5 board feet of hardwood, at a cost of $1.80 per board
foot.

1. What cost for wood should have been incurred to make 4,000
chopping blocks?
2. Compute the materials price variance, the materials quantity
variance and the total flexible budget variance.
