Particulars Standard actual
qty rate amount qty rate amount
Material - shampoo(2.8*460) 1288 0.4 515.2 780 0.52 405.6
Material - Water (26*460) 11960 0.04 478.4 7600 0.08 608
Labour - (1.6*460) 736 12 8832 400 13.5 5400
Shampoo
Direct material price variance
( std price- actual price)*actual qty = (0.4-0.52)*780
= 93.6 (U)
direct material qty variance
( std qty - actual qty)*std price = (1288-780)*0.4
=203.2 (F)
Water
Direct material price variance
(std price - actual price)*actual qty =(0.04-0.08)7600
=304(U)
direct material qty variance
( std qty- actual qty)*std price = (11960-7600)*0.04
=174.4(F)
Labour
direct labour rate variance
( std rate - actual rate)*actual hour =(12-13.5)*400
=600(U)
Direct labour efficiency variance =(std hour-actual hour)*std rate
=(736-400)*12
=4032(F)
