Indicom Ltd presents the following information with a product: Standard level of consumption of its Raw materials = 2 kg per unit of P. Standard price of material A = 6 per kg. Budgeted production of the product P = 200 units. Actually, 250 units of P were produced and material A was purchased at 8 per kg and consumed at 1.8 kg per unit of P. Calculate the Material Cost Variances.
Variance Analysis

After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
