    b) $1000 (F)

    Explanation:

    We are given:

    •Standard price SP = $20

    •Actual price AP = $18.00

    •Quantity purchased QP = 2000lbs

    • Quantity used = 1400 lbs

    • Std qty for actual output = 1450lbs

    •Actual output = 500 units

    To find the materials usage variance for Pericloud Company we use the formula:

    Standard price * (actual quantity of materials used - standard quantity allowed)

    SP * (AQ - SQ)

    From the report, we have

    SP = $20

    AQ = 1400lbs

    SQ = 1450lbs

    Therefore, we now have:

    $20 * (1400lbs - 1450lbs)

    = $1000
