5 units of Product P requires Material A 3 kg at a cost $10=$30 MaterialB 2 kg at a cost $15= $30 Actual production for the month was 100 units which used 120 kg material in total costing $15000. There was no price variance. Calculate the material mix variance
Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
Standard Costing
The standard cost system is the expected cost per unit product manufactured and it helps in estimating the deviations and controlling them as well as fixing the selling price of the product. For example, it helps to plan the cost for the coming year on the various expenses.
