Explanation / Answer

Standard Actual Particulars Qty/ hours Rate amount Qty/ hours Rate amount Materials                 2,145.00                     8.00           17,160.00             2,496.00                          7.60            18,970.00 Actual output                 3,900.00 1) Materials reqd in kg (3900 * .55)                 2,145.00 2) Standard Materials Cost = 2145*8               17,160.00 3) Materials Spending Variance = Std Cost - Actual Cost 3) Materials Spending Variance = 17,160 - 18,970 = 1,810 U 4) DMPV = (SP-AP)*AQ purchased DMPV = (8 - 7.60)2496 DMPV = 998 F DMQV= (SQ-AQ)SP DMQV= (2145 - 2496)8 DMQV= 2,808U
