What is Material Price Variance ?

Material Price Variance is the difference between calculated forecasts of how much a material costs and how much that material costs during actual use. It's a component of the broader concept of "material variance," which includes both price and quantity variances. Material price variance analysis helps management identify areas for cost improvement, assess supplier performance, and evaluate the effectiveness of cost control measures. However, it's essential to consider other factors that may influence costs, such as changes in material quality or production processes, when interpreting variance results.

How to Calculate Material Price Variance?
