Standard Price (B) | $ 0.30 | Per Ounce |
Actual Quantity (C) | 9400 | Pounds |
Material Price Variance = (A-B)*C = | $ 188 | Favorable |
Material Quantity Variance: | ||
Actual Quantity (A) | 9400 | Ounces |
Standard Quantity (B) (1100 units *8 ounces) | 8800 | Ounces |
Standard Price (C) | $ 0.30 | Per Ounce |
Material Quantity Variance = (A-B)*C = | $ 180 | Unfavorable |
Material Spending Variance (188-180) | $ 8 | Favorable |
