VARIANCE ANALYSIS
The difference between the actual and standard performance is known as a variance and can be either favourable, unfavourable or no change.
The variances we will be looking at will affect Direct Material, Direct Labour, Fixed Overhead and Variable Overheads.
You will be given the formulas in the exam.

Variance ExampleMindarie Gardens produces garden pavers. The business has developed the standard cost based on 2,400 direct labour hours per month.
Stone 2 kilos * 3.40 per kilo $6.80
Direct Labour 0.2 hour * $24 per hour $4.80
Fixed Factory Overhead 0.2 hour * $4 per DL hour $0.80
Variable Factory Overhead 0.2 hour * $3 per DL hour $0.60
Standard Cost per unit $13
Actual results for the monthStones Produced: 13 000Direct Material: 28,000 kilos of stone were bought for a cost of $89,600. A total of 27,300 kilos were used to produce the pavers.
Fixed Factory Overhead: 10 000
Variable Factory Overhead: 7 000
Direct Labour: 2 500 hours * $24.50 per hour

Direct Material Variance (Price)
(Actual Price of Input - Standard Price of Input) x Actual Quantity of Input Purchased
(AP-SP) x AQP
What does it mean?It compares the price of what we budgeted for materials
to what we actually paid for the materials

Direct Material Variance (Price)
(Actual Price of Input - Standard Price of Input) x Actual Quantity of Input Purchased
(AP-SP) x AQP
89,600/28,000 = $3.20 per kilo
$3.20 - $3.40 = -0.20 * 28,000 = $5,600 (F)

Direct Material Variance (Price)
(Actual Price of Input - Standard Price of Input) x Actual Quantity of Input Purchased
(AP-SP) x AQP
What does it mean?It means we paid $5,600 less than we expected to pay
for the materials to produce the pavers.

Direct Material Variance (Usage)
(Actual Quantity of Input Issued - Standard Quantity of Input Allowed) x Standard Price of Input

Direct Material Variance (Usage)
(Actual Quantity of Input Issued - Standard Quantity of Input Allowed) x Standard Price of Input
(AQI - SQA) X SP
2 kilos x 13,000 = 26,000 kilos = Standard
Actual = 27,300 - Standard 26,000 = 1,300 x $3.40 =
$4,420 (U)
