| Number of helmets | 3500 | |
| Standard kilograms of plastic per helmet | 0.67 | |
| Total standard kilograms allowed | 2345 | |
| Standard cost per kilogram | 7 | |
| Total standard cost | 16415 | |
| Actual cost incurred | 17787 | |
| Total standard cost | 16415 | |
| Total material variance—unfavorable | 1372 | |
| Part 2 | ||
| MPV = ( SP - AP ) * AQ purchased | ||
| MPV = ( 7 - 6.6 ) * 2695 = $ 1078 ( favourable ) | AP = 17787 / 2244 | 2695 |
| MQV = ( SQ - AQ ) SP | ||
| MQV = ( 2345 - 2695 ) * 7 = $ 2450 ( unfavourable ) | ||
