MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE = ACTUAL QTY USED (STANDARD PRICE - ACTUAL PRICE )
-9800 = A.Q. (40 - 42)
-9800 = A.Q. (-2)
ACTUAL QTY = 4900 KG.
YOU CAN VERIFY THIS ANSWER WITH CALCULATING USAGE VARIANCE :
MAT. USAGE VAR. = STANDARD PRICE (STANDARD QTY - ACTUAL QTY USED )
= 40 ((100*50) - 4900)
=40 (5000 - 4900)
= 40 (100)
= 4000 (FAVOURABLE)
