Standard 5 kg at ₹4 per kg per unit. Actual 4,800 units used 25,200 kg at ₹4.20 per kg. Material cost variance is:

A₹9,840 favourable
B₹9,840 adverse
C₹10,080 adverse
D₹5,040 adverse
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ₹9,840 adverse
1. Standard cost = SQ × SP per output unit × output units = 5 × 4 × 4,800 = ₹96,000. 2. Actual cost = AQ × AP = 25,200 × 4.20 = ₹1,05,840. 3. Material cost variance = Standard − Actual = 96,000 − 1,05,840 = −9,840. 4. The negative result indicates adverse variance of ₹9,840. _Source: ICAI BoS Inter Paper 3, Ch 13 "Standard Costing", §13.5.1 Illus 5_
