    Sir,
    (In the context of material usage variance:operational)

    (R.SQ-A.SQ)
    What would be the price to be multiplied with?
    Revised standard price or
    actual price

    Sorry if it’s a silly doubt

    The current examiner prefers that you use the original standard cost.

    (Some people prefer using the revised standard cost and there is an argument for either. It gives a different answer but the examiner accepts either. I explain this in my free lectures and my lectures do it the way that the current examiner prefers, which is the easiest and quickest way as well 🙂 )
