Hi all
Really stuck with this question. The product is budgeted to use 1.25kg of material per unit at a cost of £7.80 per kg.
During the last month the company used 1140kg to manufacture 950 units and the material price variance was £912 adverse.
Calculate the actual price per kg of material....
Can anyone help I’ve spent too long probably over complicating this ?!?

The company used £1,140 kilos, which at the standard cost of £7.80, should have cost £8,892.
However, the price variance was adverse, so it must have cost £8,892 + £912 = £9,804.
So if 1,140 kilos cost £9,804, one kilo must have cost 9804/1140 = £8.6
