Material Cost Variance

Go Material Cost Variance = (Standard Quality for Actual Output*Standard Price)-(Actual Quantity*Actual Price)

Revised Standard Quantity

Go Revised Standard Quantity = (Standard Quantity of each Material/Total Standard Quantity)*Total Actual Quantity

Material Usage Variance

Go Material Usage Variance = Standard Price*(Actual Quantity Units-Standard Quantity)

Material Price Variance

Go Material Price Variance = Actual Quantity*(Standard Price-Actual Price)

Material Quantity

Go Material Quantity = Standard Price*(Standard Quantity-Actual Quantity)

What is Labour Rate Variance ?

Labour rate variance is a concept used in managerial accounting and cost accounting to analyze the difference between the actual labour rate paid to employees and the standard labour rate that was expected or budgeted for a given period. It helps assess how efficiently labour costs are being managed within an organization. Actual Labour Rate refers to the actual cost per unit of labor paid by the organization during a specific period. It includes wages or salaries, as well as any additional labour-related costs such as benefits, overtime, or bonuses. Labor rate variance analysis helps management understand the factors contributing to deviations in labour costs and take appropriate actions to control expenses. A positive variance may result from factors such as lower-than-expected wage rates, reduced overtime, or efficient labor utilization. A negative variance, on the other hand, may indicate higher-than-expected wage rates, increased overtime, or inefficiencies in labour management.
