Dr work-in-process $ 241,500.00

Cr materials $236,250

Cr direct material quantity variance $ 5,250.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the materials using standard price per pound of $10.5 is computed below:

standard cost=4,600*5*$10.5=$241,500.00

The above is debited to work in process account.

The actual cost of materials used = 22,500*$10.5=$236,250.00

Since the actual cost materials is $ 236,250.00, the materials ledger is credited with $ 236,250.00

The direct material quantity variance=$241,500-$236,250=$5,250
