Cast stone 10kg @£20,00=£200,00
Cast stone 7.800kg 159,900
Standard cost would it be 7800*20=156000-159,900=3900a
How would I work out the stone usage

Dear Linda1967
Thank you for your question.
From the information you've provided, I'm not able to identify the material usage variance.
If you can find the number of units of finished goods produced that would be sufficient.
Units produced x 10kg per unit x £20.00 per kg = the standard cost of goods produced
if you then take away the
standard cost of the material input [7,800 kgs x £20 = £156,000]
that will give you the
Material usage variance
If you have the units produced, brilliant.
If you don't, please let me know any other additional information you have.

Dear Linda1967
I guess this post isn't needed
You have no doubt worked out the answer yourself
Units produced x 10kg per unit x £20.00 per kg = the standard cost of goods produced
if you then take away the
standard cost of the material input [7,800 kgs x £20 = £156,000]
that will give you the
Material usage variance
800 x 10kg/unit x £20.00/kg =£160,000
less
7800kgs x £20 per kilogram = £156,000
Material usage variance £4,000 favourable
They used 200kgs less than you'd expect for 800 units of finished goods
200kgs at £20/kg = £4,000 favourable
Yours
