Material Variances:
Using the Factored Equations

Formula Method:
Materials price variance
MPV = AQ (AP - SP)
Materials quantity variance
MQV = SP (AQ - SQ)

Labor Variances:
Using the Factored Equations

Labor rate variance


LRV = AH (AR - SR)
Labor efficiency variance
LEV = SR (AH - SH)

Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Variances: Using Factored Equations

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance


VMSV = AH (AR - SR)
Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance
VMEV = SR (AH - SH)
