CIMAPRO19-P01-1 Exam - Topic 8 Question 103 Discussion

TP makes wedding cakes that are sold to specialist retail outlets which decorate the cakes according to the customers' specific requirements. The standard cost per unit of its most popular cake is as follows:The general market prices at the time of purchase for Ingredient A and Ingredient B were $23 per kg and $20 per kg respectively. TP operates a JIT purchasing system for ingredients and a JIT production system; therefore, there was no inventory during the period.What was the material yieldvariance?
D) The material yield variance was $175 000 A
A) The material yield variance was $98500 A
B) The material yield variance was $175500 A
C) The material yield variance was $155000 A
E) The material yield variance was $155500 A

This question reminds me of a similar practice one we did about variances. I think I might lean towards option C, but I’m not completely confident.

I think the key is to compare the actual yield to the expected yield based on standard costs. I hope I can remember how to do that under pressure.

Whew, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally confident in my ability to calculate material yield variance, but I'll give it my best shot. I'll need to make sure I understand the difference between actual and standard usage and costs, and then carefully work through the numbers. Hopefully I can get the right approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll need to find the actual material usage based on the production, then calculate the actual material cost using the market prices. Then I'll compare that to the standard material cost to get the variance. As long as I'm careful with the numbers, I should be able to get the right answer.

This seems straightforward enough. I just need to calculate the actual material cost and compare it to the standard material cost to find the variance. The key will be making sure I use the correct quantities and prices in my calculations.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. The information about the standard cost per unit and market prices for the ingredients is helpful, but I'm not sure how to use that to calculate the material yield variance. I may need to review my notes on this topic.

Okay, this looks like a standard material yield variance calculation question. I'll need to find the actual material usage and compare it to the standard material usage to determine the variance.

That makes sense, the material yield variance is calculated by taking the standard cost of material used minus the actual cost of material used multiplied by the actual quantity used.
