Direct Material Price Variance
In
variance analysis (accounting)
direct material price variance
is the difference betweeen the
standard cost
and the
actual cost
for the
actual quantity
of material used or purchased. It is one of the two components (the other is
direct material usage variance
) of
direct material total variance
.
Example
Let us assume that standard direct material cost of
widget
is as follows:
2 kg of
unobtainium
at € 60 per kg ( = € 120 per unit).
Let us assume further that during given period, 100 widgets were manufactured, using 212 kg of
unobtainium
which cost € 13,144. Under those assumptions
direct material price variance
can be calculated as:
Direct material price variance
can be reconciled to
direct material total variance
by way of
direct material usage variance
: See
direct material total variance#Example
and
direct material usage variance#Example
for computations of both components.
