Materials Price Variance

The difference between the actual cost of materials used in production and the budgeted cost of materials, based on standard prices and actual quantities purchased.

Variable Manufacturing

Costs in manufacturing that vary directly with the level of production, such as raw materials and direct labor costs.

  • Determine diverse kinds of variances, for instance, price and amount variations in materials.
  • Ascertain variations in labor rate and effectiveness.
  • Work out the variable overhead rate and examine efficiency deviations.
