    usage of material

    That just means how much material you're suppose to use to make that amount of production (not how much you actually did use)<BR><BR>Is that okay?<BR><BR>Glenn

    usage of material

    I think I am fine now, thanks much, what I actually does was to cross multiply, a little maths, I will never forget,eg 22,500kg is to produce 7500 units, how much of that amount is to make 6500, which is the actual. 22,500=7500<BR>x= 6500, cross multiply, and do my calculations.<BR><BR>coss multiply can also be done for the calculation of standard hours for the actual production.<BR><BR>thanks much your answer drive me in doing that, you really cant go in the exam swatting every formula,

    If it takes 22,500kg to produce 7,500 units then:<BR><BR>22,500/7,500 = 3kg per unit. That's the standard usage. So 6,500 units should use:<BR><BR>6,500 x 3kg = 19,500kg.<BR><BR>(whatever it actually took to make the 6,500 units, take it away from 19,500kg and times by the standard price per kg to get the variance)
