Direct Materials Variance Analysis
This video demonstrates how to conduct a variance analysis for direct materials. A comprehensive example is provided to show how both the price variance and quantity variance are calculated. The example also shows how variance analysis differs when the quantity purchased differs from the quantity used.

I literally have my exam tomorrow and covered a considerable portion of syllabus by just going through your videos. Thank you for sharing. You're the best!
Don’t know why I’m paying so much for someone who teaches this in a way that is impossible to understand. You’re awesome! Thanks so much.

I understood everything within minutes! Saved me hours trying to comprehend my textbooks and online lecturer. I have an exam on Tuesday and you sir, are a life saver!
These videos are such a huge resource for me in my accounting courses! I stared at the same problems for hours and watched your videos on variances twice and was able to get it. You explain it so simply.

I talked to myself. I will learn 1 video at a time, but now I can’t stop watching your video. It’s interesting like watching favorite movies. Thank you so much.
This man just covered my whole Standard Costing Lecture in less than an hour and 30 minutes that we take 2 weeks to study at my varsity and I have never been confident about standard costing as I have ever been since doing it for the past 4 years. Thank you very much Edspira
Man! really thank you for these videos you're making. I'm an MBA student. I watch almost all your fantastic videos & I benefited alooooot of them. I like the rational and logic behind the way you explain concepts. Also, I always recommend your videos to my classmates cuz honestly speaking, for multiple times (if not all the times) your concise explanations are way better than what my respectful professor does in the class. Thank you again.
Thank you so much, none of my text books explain this clearly. This is very clear and easy to follow.
Seriously these videos are saving my CMA exam. Thank you so much!!!

I wish I would have came across this earlier! I finally understand where I was going wrong. Thanks alot!
Agreed! WAY better than anything I learned in class or from trying to 'teach' myself from the text. Thank you SO much!
Thank you for making this so simple! I have watched videos provided by my college and read textbook explanations but was so confused... until this video. Feel like a pro now! :)
You're the best teacher I've ever heard🙌🏽
Thank you for getting me through accounting. All of your videos are so informative and understandable. I graduate in 2 days and I cant explain over the years in business school how much they've really helped me. Sincerely, thank you.
this is soooooo clear, just get over it in ten minutes...awesome:)

Hi Sir, if we were to calculate the closing inventory value, what price/unit would we use? Standard or Actual?
Better than my CPA review. Lol. Thank you!!!!

You are a legend
You have explained the Material Variance very well. Thanks alot for Such a useful video. I have a Question. Why Standard Price is used to calculate the Quantity Variance and why actual price is not used? Thanks in advance.
@Edspira
7 жыл бұрын
The actual price is affected by how good the purchasing manager is at getting a good deal from the supplier. Thus, we use the standard price in this case because we solely want to focus on determining how efficient the company was at using direct materials

Why we use (AP-SP)AQ to compute price variance instead of (AP-SP)SQ??
Hello sir, what if the question give us a beginning inventory? With a different price than the purchased materials, How do we determine the AQ and AP? Thank you in advance
have you not made a video on return on assets? i cant find it
Hi, I'm just wondering why it doesnt work when you do AP x SQ in the middle - why does it have to be AQ x SP?

Thanks for your videos. I started watching your channel to improve my English and consider that it's very helpful. When I was studying this kind of analysis called chain substitution method. Maybe it's not accurate translation. Let me not agree with this video and ask you a question: why do you make calculations with 950? If company produce tables from year to year and they know how much it takes wood to make 1 table (8 pounds) so why did it was bought so much wood? I assure if firm specializes in wood manufacturing, they should keep some would in the stock for future orders. So if we perform variance analysis, we must analyze current expenses for production for certain period, i.e. how much wood, labor, etc. we spend to 105 tables (875 pounds). Surplus will be used later. If we calculate cash flow we use 950.

Can the quantity variance also be identified as the direct material usage variance?

Where do you lecture?
why do we use standard price instead of actual price in determining direct materials usage variance?
Is quantity variance the same as efficiency variance?
hi would the answer be in negative for price variance if its favourable, thank you in advance to whomever who replies to this comment

can we use "adverse" rather than "unfavourable"?
Hello! what is the actual quantity purchased is the same as actual quantity used. does it affect SQ? Wouldnt there be no variance since there is no difference in used and purchased?
@quaqmireful

+Dianelis Aballe Yes, you are right. Variance, simply put, is the difference between the standard vs. Actuals. So if it is the same, then no variance :)
Would appreciate if you changed the color of the paint next time. Otherwise loved your tutorial.
Nuanced explanation on direct materials variance analysis, includes the case where Actual Quantity (Purchased) != Actual Quantity (Consumed), where the calculation of Total Variance would not make sense.
