    I have studied variance analysis in my graduation using formulas :
    Material Mix Variance : Standard cost for actual input – actual quantity at standard price
    Material Yield Variance : Standard cost for actual output – Standard cost for actual input.

    Using this formula when I do Lecture example-1 of BPP notes :

    Ques- Brenda and Eddie are analysing the main ingredients to their basic pasta sauce.
    The standard ingredients for one batch of tomato pasta sauce are:
    $
    Onions 5kg @ $2/kg 10
    Tomatoes 5kg @ $4/kg 20
    30
    During June, 100 batches of sauce were prepared, using the following ingredients:
    Onions 600 kg
    Tomatoes 900 kg
    For the total materials mix and total materials yield variance, was there a favourable or adverse result in June?

    I get mix variance correct but yield variance incorrect.

    Can you help me with my formula to solve this Question?
