    Is the solution correct?

    Given BEDSHEET PILLOW
    SQ 2 sq.meter 0.5sq.meter
    SP $5 $5
    AQ 248000sq.meter 95000sq.meter

    Workings: BEDSHEET PILLOW

    RSQ- 10% increase = 2*1.1=2.2 =0.5*1.1=0.55
    RSP-20%increase =5*1.2=$6 =5*1.2=$6
    Actual production 120000 units 180000units

    Calculation of material usage planning variance

    BEDSHEET PILLOW
    SQSP 2*120000*5=1200000 0.5*180000*5=450000
    RSQSP 2.2*120000*5=1320000 0.55*180000*5=495000

    120000(A) 45000(A)

    Total planning usage variance: 165000(A)

    Calculation of material usage operational variance

    BEDSHEET PILLOW
    RSQRSP 2.2*120000*6=1584000 0.55*180000*6=594000
    AQRSP 248000*6=1488000 95000*6=570000

    96000(F) 24000(F)

    Total material usage operational variance:120000(F)

    Surely you can check yourself to the examiners answer?

    They have done it differently so I want to know if it is correct too.As you have said different method provides different answer.

    It seems OK.

    (But you really should not be using old books because of syllabus changes. I assume your books are recent enough so as to contain lots of MCQ’s to practice?)
