Variance

Rrosin5y ago
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 :-) )
