Hello Tutor, I have a question about the variance analysis which it’s taken from Bpp textbook quick quiz section and question is ” If the closing inventories of raw material are valued at standard cost, the material price variance is calculated on material purchases in the period” The answer is True and my question is does it also mean if the closing inventories valued a rather than standard cost , the material price variance calculated on the material used?Thank you .
Yes it would, but in Paper F5 we always value inventories at standard cost (for the reasons I explain in my free lectures), and therefore the material price variance is always calculated on the material purchases.
