    Hi, I want to ask you which formula is being used in current exams for “material price planning variance”:

    (Std price-Revised price)*Revised quantity

    Or

    (Std price-Revised price)*Actual quantity
    Which one of them does the current examiner prefer?

    The examiner accepts both and gives full marks for either.

    She prefers the second, as I explain in my free lectures.
