From the 3rd example where the first requirement is to calculate the total material cost variance , the actual total costs for the both material x & y was 38,000 (27 k+11 k) meaning the total kg used to produced the 5000 units were the 9900 kg +5300 kg = 15200 kg.

The 40,000 dollars was the std cost needed to produce the actual 5000 units . am i right sir?

Just wanted to know if my interpretation is improving .

The very first example of mix and yield variance where actual production during the period was 5000 units with standard costs is 8 dollars

You did not say that you were referring to the example in our lecture notes!!

Yes – the $40,000 is the standard cost of 5,000 units (5,000 x $8 per unit).
