Forums › Ask ACCA Tutor Forums › Ask the Tutor ACCA PM Exams › Material Variance
Material Usage Variance= SR (SQ-AQ)
Material Price Variance= AQ (SR-AR)..
why is the common rate SR in first one and not AR,
and why is the common qty AQ in the second one and not SQ?????
AQ * AP
The difference is on the price – actual qty stays the same
Did we pay more than we should have or less for the actual qty used
AQ * SP
The difference is on the quantity – std price stays the same
Did we use more than we should have at the standard price.
With variances only one thing can change at a time.
Au * SQ * SP.
