calculate material variances from the following data.

Particulars standards Actual


output 100 units 200 units
quantity of material required per
unit of output 2kgs per unit 3 kgs per unit
Price Rs. 4 per kg Rs. 3 per kgs

solution
a) Standard quantity of raw material for actual ouput ( SQ) = 200 units *2 kgs per unit= 400 kgs
b) Standard Price = Rs. 4 per kg
c) Actual quantity of raw material consumed = 200 units *3 kgs per unit= 600 kgs
d) Actual Price = Rs. 3 per kg

i) material cost variance(MCV)= (SQ*SP) - (AQ*AP)


=(400 kgs* Rs. 4 ) - (600 kg*Rs.3)
=Rs. 1600 - Rs. 1800 =(-Rs. 200)----------------adverse or unfavourable

ii) material price variance (MPV)=(SP-AP)*AQ


=(Rs. 4 - Rs. 3) *600 kgs
=Rs. 600------------favourable

iii) material usae variance (MUV)= (SQ-- AQ)*SP


=(400 kgs - 600 kgs) * Rs. 4
=(-Rs. 800)---------------unfavourable

verification
MCV= MPC + MUV
(-200)= 600+(-800)
