What causes material usage variance?
Material usage variance can be caused due to waste. Quality issues, such as defects, can result in material usage variance.
Is overhead spending variance affected by excessive usage or waste of overhead materials?
True
Causes material usage variance?
may be material price is higher than the stander ed price
An unfavorable material quantity variance indicates?
actual usage of materials exceeds the standard material allowed for output
What variance in a comprehensive performance report using the flexible budget concept is most appropriate for measuring efficiency of operations?
The most appropriate variance in a comprehensive performance report using the flexible budget concept for measuring operational efficiency is the "Efficiency Variance," often referred to as the "Usage Variance" or "Input Variance." This variance assesses the difference between the actual input used and the expected input based on the flexible budget for the actual level of activity. It highlights how well resources are utilized relative to what was budgeted, thereby providing insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. Analyzing this variance helps identify areas for improvement in resource management and operational processes.
What difference between a favorable variance and an unfavorable variance?
Favourable variance is that variance which is good for business while unfavourable variance is bad for business
Why standard deviation is more often used than variance?
Both variance and standard deviation are measures of dispersion or variability in a set of data. They both measure how far the observations are scattered away from the mean (or average). While computing the variance, you compute the deviation of each observation from the mean, square it and sum all of the squared deviations. This somewhat exaggerates the true picure because the numbers become large when you square them. So, we take the square root of the variance (to compensate for the excess) and this is known as the standard deviation. This is why the standard deviation is more often used than variance but the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance.
What is the difference between negative price variance and volume variance?
Negative price variance is when the cost is less than budgeted. Volume variance is a variance in the volume produce.
What are the variances in a 4 variance analysis?
efficiency variance, spending variance, production volume variance, variable and fixed components
What factors causes Budget Variance?
There are 7 variances associated with a budget ( which are generally calculated for controlling purposes) 1- Material Price variance 2- Material Quantity variance 3- Labor rate variance 4- Labor efficiency variance 5- Spending variance 6- Efficiency variance 7- Capacity variance
Which is not a measure of dispersion range or variance?
Variance
What is Assumptions for Variance Heterogeneous?
Unequal in Variance
