Material Variance is to be calculated with formula = Standard Material Cost - Actual Material Cost.At the time of calculating Standard Material Cost, we should multiple Standard Quantity of Actual Output with Standard Price.
Labour Cost Varinace is to be calculated with formula = Standard Labour Cost - Actual Labour Cost.At the time of calculating Standard Labour Cost, we should multiple Standard Hours of Actual Output with Standard Rate.
The Material Variances Subdivided PRICE, MIX, USAGE, SUB USAGE & Total Material Cost Variance
Labour Variance Subdivided RATE, MIX, EFFIFICIENCY & Total Labour Cost Variance.
