Where,
P=Profit
S=Sales value per unit
N=Number of units sold
F=Fixed costs

Q. A company set the standard material cost per unit for a
product at Rs. 20. During a production run of 2,000 units, the
company used 40,000 units of material. The actual material
cost per unit was Rs. 19.50. Calculate the material cost
variance assuming that the total units of inputs were the
same as estimated.
(1) Rs. 10,000 (Profit)
(2) Rs. 10,000 (Loss)
(3) Rs. 20,000 (Profit)
(4) Rs. 20,000 (Loss)
Solution (3)
The standard cost estimate = 40,000 × Rs. 20 =
8,00,000
The actual cost = Rs. 19.50 × 40,000 = 7,80,000
Variance = 8,00,000 – 7,80,000 = 20,000
The variance is favourable as the actual cost is less
than the standard cost estimate.
