    The formula is:
    Materials price variance = Actual Quantity x (Standard Price - Actual Price)
    Note: if the firm has a standard costing system in place, this variance will be calculated on actual quantity purchased, in other cases use actual quantity used.
    Materials Usage Variance = (Standard Quantity Allowed - Actual Quantity used) x Standard Price per unit
    Total Materials variance is the total of price and usage variance.
