The calculation you showed for usage is actually for yield.
Mix and usage cant be calculated since the actual mix of materials is not given.
Someone please confirm my answer!June 6, 2021 at 10:03 am #623398The yield variance is indeed 240 (A)
For the usage variance we would need to compare the standard cost of the actual purchases with the standard cost of the actual production. We know the standard cost of the actual production (100 x $12 = $1,200) but we do not know the standard cost of the actual purchases.
On the information that you have given it is not possible to calculate the mix variance. (And I do not know what you mean by ‘the March Poll’ 🙂

Exactly, that’s what I thought as well, I tried calculating the mix variance but I couldn’t. The question isn’t complete .June 6, 2021 at 4:15 pm #623463Ah, I see – thanks 🙂
That is the problem with people typing out questions from their exam because it is very hard to remember the question precisely after the exam.
