Hi My Dear tutor, I have a question
My calculation for planning and operational variences in material price and usage is are different from the answer
My calculation
Material price planning variance
Actual quantity used at revised rate-14280
(100000*0.035*(4$*1,02)
actual quantity used at standard rate-14000
(100000*0.035*4$)equal 280A
Material price operational variance
Actual quantity used at actual rate-18375
(100000*0.035*5.25$)
Actual quantity used at revised rate-14280equal 4095A
Material usage planning variance
Revised usage———————-4200
(100000*(0.04*1.05)
Standard usage based on actual production
(100000*0.040)———————4000
equal 200*4$===800AMaterial usage operational variance
Actual usage———3500
(100000*0.035)
Revised usage—-4200equal========700A*4$=2800A
Why Material usage operational variance multiplied with revised standard cost of 4.80$ not multiplied with 4$?
Besides material usage planning variance the rest remaining three calculation method is different from mine?is my calculation considered to be correct?is bpp’s calculation methoed based on old method?
Could you explain it please?
thanks in advance

For some reason BPP have left the previous examiners answer rather than update it.What you have done is fine.
