    Dear all,
    For Material Px Variance we need to take difference from actual px and actual px @ standard cost
    or
    budget px and actual px @ standard cost?

    hi Sarahlim,

    I checked that question ,I did it like this

    53000kg material should cost(*2.5)=132500

    but they actually costed =136000

    so adverse price variance is 3500.

    its the difference between actual units at standard cost and the what it actually costed.Hope this makes sense.
