The general model for calculating a quantity variance is: Actual quantity of inputs used × (Actual price − Standard price). Standard price × (Actual quantity of inputs used − Standard quantity allowed for output). (Actual quantity of inputs used × Actual price) − (Standard quantity allowed for output × Standard price). Actual price × (Actual quantity of inputs used − Standard quantity allowed for output).
Standard price * (Actual quantity of inputs used − Standard quantity allowed for output)
