During the year it was realised that, due to a planning error, the original standard cost was unrealistic and accordingly the standard was revised as follows:
Revised standard: 4 direct labour hours at £4.50 per hour
The standard for the material content of one unit was set £15, made up of 3kg at a standard cost of £5 per kg. However during the year it was realised that there had been an error in the planning department and that the standard material content should have been 4.5kgs per unit. Information for the year showed:
Budgeted output
1,000 units
Actual output
1,200 units
Material purchased and used
5,500 kg
Price paid per kg
£5.80

I am not going to provide answers, but given that you want to check whether what you have done is correct then type out your workings and then I will check them for you and explain if you have gone wrong.
