    Hi My Dear tutor, I have a question

    My calculation for planning and operational variences in material price and usage is are different from the answer

    My calculation

    Material price planning variance

    Actual quantity used at revised rate-14280
    (100000*0.035*(4$*1,02)
    actual quantity used at standard rate-14000
    (100000*0.035*4$)

    equal 280A

    Material price operational variance

    Actual quantity used at actual rate-18375
    (100000*0.035*5.25$)
    Actual quantity used at revised rate-14280

    equal 4095A

    Material usage planning variance

    Revised usage———————-4200
    (100000*(0.04*1.05)
    Standard usage based on actual production
    (100000*0.040)———————4000
    equal 200*4$===800A

    Material usage operational variance

    Actual usage———3500
    (100000*0.035)
    Revised usage—-4200

    equal========700A*4$=2800A

    Why Material usage operational variance multiplied with revised standard cost of 4.80$ not multiplied with 4$?

    Besides material usage planning variance the rest remaining three calculation method is different from mine?is my calculation considered to be correct?is bpp’s calculation methoed based on old method?

    Could you explain it please?

    thanks in advance

    Securenet was an exam question that was set by the previous examiner and he preferred a different method to the new examiner. The method the new examiner prefers is easier (even though she accepts either way as being correct).
    For some reason BPP have left the previous examiners answer rather than update it.

    What you have done is fine.
