Standard costing doubt

Final 1201 views 14 replies

Hello frns, I need little help regarding std costing -

calculate Material price variance n usage variance

Std qty :- 18,000

SR  - 10

on analysis it was found that  out of 25,000 kgs , 5,000kgs were purchased in emergancy  order @ 20 kg

 Actual qty             Actual price

 

20,000                    12/kg

5000                          20/kg

 

 

I am unable to derive the answer provided in the book. the question is from Sanjay Aggarwal's book and it's 1st question.

 

will be waiting for replies with logics

 

Regards

Renu

material price variance-this is the difference in cost that results from price being different to standard. it is therefore the difference in price multiplied by actual usage.the formula is price difference *actual quantity. or (standard price-actual price)*actual quantity. or standard price * actual quantity-actual price *actual quantity.or standard cost of actual quantity -actual cost.     therefore mpv= 10-12*20000=40000(A)                                              material usage variance-the material usage variance is the difference between actual usage and expected usage (i.e.what should have been used to produce the actual output ) multiplied by the standard price .the formula is usage difference * standard price or (standard usage-actual usage)*standard price or( standard usage*standard price) - ( actual usage*standard price  ) or standard cost of standard quantity -standard cost of actual  quantity.therefore(18000*10)-(20000*10 )=180000-20000=20000(A)                                  

PRICE VARIANCE = (SP-AP)AQ OR SP*AQ -AP*AQ

                                  = 10*18000 - {(12*20000)+(20*5000)}

                                  = 180000-(240000+100000)

                                  = 180000-340000 = 160000 (A)

USAGE VARIANCE = (SQ-AQ)SP

                                   = (18000-25000)10

                                   = 7000*10 =70000 (A)

COST VARIANCE = 160000+70000=230000 (A)

IF DIFFERENT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK.................

 

@ sidhant ...

I didn't understand why you haven't taken 5000 kg in consideration as well ....

 

@ Rajnikant Sir

You hav already calculated the material cost variance in price variance.

the actual answers are :-

Material price variance :-  110,000 (A)

Usage variance :- 50,000 (A)

MCV is 160000 (A) which is correct but I am unable to cal price n usage variance .

DEAR RENU,

 IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE IN OUTPUT CAN U GIVE ME MORE DETAILS...............

 

@ rajnikant Sir

I have pasted the whole question. There are no further details in the question.

I was thinking that there should be some different treatment for  emergancy purchase, thats y my answer is not matching with the book.

YES U R RIGHT I ASSUME SAME I'LL COME TO U SOON..........

 

Solution:

Material Price Variance = (S.P. – A.P.) × A.S.

= (10 – 12)×20,000 + (10 – 12)×5,000

=50,000 Adverse

Material Usage Variance = Excess price variance + (S.Q. – A.Q.)×S.P.

due to emergency order 

= (12 – 20)×5,000 + (18,000 – 25,000)×10

=1,10,000

Agreed with this answer.............

In my opinion answer is:-

 

 

MPV=(SP-AP)*AQ

 

5000*(20-10)=50000(A) -- Emergency purchases --Liability of Production manager,no fault of Purchase Manager

 

20000*(12-10)=40000(A)-- Regular purchases-Liability of Purchase Manager.

 

MUV=(SQ-AQ)SP

 

(25000-18000)*10=70000(A) -- Liability of Production Manager.

 

 

 

 

 

MUV:- (18k - 25k) X 10 = (70k)

MPV:- (25k X 10) - [(20k X 12) + (5k X 20)] = (90k)

Arvind your solution correct

Thanks Deepak for providing the solution and

once again thanks to all for anticipating in the discussion and letting me about every aspect of the question.
