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.
