Material price variance £3,000 F
Standard usage per unit 2 kg
Standard price per kg £3

Actual capacity of each additional warehouse unit 100,000 units

    For c)
    Material Cost variance = Material Price variance + Material usage variance
    Material usage = Material Cost - Material Price
    = -6000 - 3000
    = -9000 or 9000 Adverse
    Material usage = (standard use - actual use) * standard price per unit
    -9000 = (20000 - Actual use) * 3
    Actual use = 20,000+3000
    = 23,000 kg for 10,000 units or 2.3 kg per unit.

    For d)

    You need 960,000 units and existing covers 750,000. 960000-750000 = 210,000
    There for you need to budget for 3 additional warehouses to cover the difference.
    Extra cost = 3* 155,000

    Total expected cost = £965,000

    I might have messed up as it's been a while since I've touched variances but this should help.
