    After watching your lectures, i still did not seem to get this.
    A company has a process in which the standard mix for producing 9 litres of output is as
    follows:
    $
    4.0 litres of D at $9 per litre 36.00
    3.5 litres of E at $5 per litre 17.50
    2.5 litres of F at $2 per litre 5.00
    Total 58.50
    A standard loss of 10% of inputs is expected to occur. The actual inputs for the latest period
    were:
    $
    4,300 litres of D at $9.00 per litre 38,700
    3,600 litres of E at $5.50 per litre 19,800
    2,100 litres of F at $2.20 per litre 4,620
    Total 63,120
    Actual output for this period was 9,100 litres.

    What is the total material yield variance?

    Where is this question from?
    The one I have found asks for the mix

    Actual usage in standard proportions $

    D = 4,000 litres at $9 per litre = 36,000

    E = 3,500 litres at $5 per litre = 17,500

    F= 2,500 litres at $2 per litre = 5,000

    –––––––

    10,000 litres 58,500

    Actual usage in actual proportions

    D = 4,300 litres at $9 per litre 38,700

    E = 3,600 litres at $5 per litre 18,000

    F = 2,100 litres at $2 per litre 4,200

    –––––––

    60,900

    Mix variance is 58,500 – 60,900 = $2,400 Adverse A
