A company has a favorable direct materials price variance. A possible reason for this variance is that:

Reason: This would result in a favorable direct materials quantity variance. A possible reason for a favorable direct materials price variance is that the purchasing department purchased materials at a cost less than expected.

Direct materials are $15 per unit; direct labor is $7 per unit and variable overhead costs are $2 per unit. If total product costs are $27, what are fixed costs per unit?

Total unit cost is $27. Direct materials $15 + direct labor $7 + variable overhead $2 = $24. Therefore, fixed costs per unit = $27 - 24 = $3.00. =3
