    Calculate Materials Price Variance
    Company X has a price standard of $2 per lbs.

    5,000 lbs was bought at $2.20 per lbs.

    The actual quantity used was 5,000 lbs, although the standard quantity for output was 4,500 lbs

    What is Company X's material price variance?

    This is my answer

    (2.00-2.20) X 5000 = $1,000 U

    please advise if incorrect

    The thread is a year old so I don't think OP cares anymore.

    OP's answer was correct to begin with. Yours is incorrect because 4500 isn't the actual quantity - 5000 is.
