Material Usage Variance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Material Usage Variance = Standard Price*(Actual Quantity Units-Standard Quantity)
MUV = STP*(AQU-SQ)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Material Usage Variance - Material Usage Variance refers to the difference between the actual quantity of materials used in production and a revised or adjusted standard quantity of materials.
Standard Price - Standard Price refers to the predetermined cost per unit of a particular material based on factors such as historical data, market prices, negotiated contracts, or internal cost estimates.
Actual Quantity Units - Actual Quantity Units refers to the real count of units of a particular item or product in inventory or production.
Standard Quantity - Standard Quantity refers to the predetermined amount of materials that should be used for a specific level of production or output.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Standard Price: 855 --> No Conversion Required
Actual Quantity Units: 110 --> No Conversion Required
Standard Quantity: 100 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

MUV = STP*(AQU-SQ) --> 855*(110-100)

Evaluating ... ...

MUV = 8550

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8550 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8550 <-- Material Usage Variance

What is Material Usage Variance ?

Material Usage Variance results when the actual quantity of materials used is different from the quantity of materials that should have been used to make a good output. In essence, it quantifies the efficiency or effectiveness of material usage in production processes. A favorable material usage variance indicates that less material was used than expected, resulting in cost savings. Conversely, an unfavorable variance suggests that more material was used than anticipated, leading to increased costs. Analyzing material usage variances helps management understand the efficiency of material usage in production processes. It allows them to identify factors such as wastage, inefficiencies in production processes, or deviations from expected material usage standards. This insight enables organizations to take corrective actions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize resource utilization.

How to Calculate Material Usage Variance?
