Q.2. A manufacturing concern which has adopted standard costing, furnished the following information:
Actual:
Output: 180,000 kg.
Material used: 260,000 kg.
Cost of material: SR 650,000
Standard:
Materials for 60 kg finished products: 90 kg.
Price of Materials: SR 3 per kg.
Calculate material price variance, material usage variance and material cost variance.
Actual | Calculation | Reference for Formula | |
Output (units in Kg) | 180000 | Given In Question | |
Material Used (units in Kg) | 260000 | Given In Question | Actual Quantity |
Cost of Material (units in SR) | 650000 | Given In Question | |
Cost of Material Per Kg (units in SR) | 2.50 | Cost of Material/Material used | Actual Price |
Standard Costs | Calculation | Reference for Formula | |
standard Materials per 60Kg(Units in Kg) | 90 | Given In Question | Standard Quantity |
Standard Material for 180000 KG (Units in Kg) | 270000 | Actual Output divided by 60kg*90Kg | |
Standard price of materials per Kg (Units in SR) | 3 | Given In Question | Standard Price |
Formula for calculation | Answer | |
Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual quantity used | = | 130000.00(Unfavourable) |
Material Cost Variance = (Standard Quantity x Standard Price) – (Actual Quantity x Actual Price) | = | 160000(Favourable) |
Material Usage Variance = (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity) * Standard Price | = | 30000(Favourable) |
