Management Accounting 21 - Variance Analysis Flashcards
Cost Variances
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
AP = actual price per unit of output = actual price
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
ATQ = actual total units of input
AM% = actual mix percentage
STQ = standard total units of input allowed for actual output
SM% = standard mix percentage
Actual results
Actual results = (AQ × AP)
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
AP = actual price per unit of output = actual price
Flexible budget
Flexible budget = Midpoint = (AQ × SP)
Flexible budget = (SQ for actual output × SP)
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
Static budgets
Static budgets = (SQ × SP)
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
Static budget variance
Static budget variance = (SQ × SP) – (AQ × AP)
Static budget variance = flexible budget variance + sales volume variance
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
AP = actual price per unit of output = actual price
Flexible budget variance
Flexible budget variance = Selling price variance = (AP – SP) × AQ
Flexible budget variance = rate variance + efficiency variance
AP = actual price per unit of output = actual price
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
Sales volume variance
Sales volume variance = (AQ – SQ) × SP
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
Rate variance
Rate variance = (AP – SP) × AQ
rate variance = Flexible budget variance - efficiency variance
AP = actual price per unit of output = actual price
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
Efficiency variance
Efficiency variance = (AQ – SQ for actual output) × SP
efficiency variance = rate variance + Flexible budget variance
AQ = actual volume of units = actual quantity (unit)
SQ = standard (budgeted) volume of units = standard quantity (unit)
SP = standard (budgeted) price per unit of output = standard price
Mix and yield variances
Midpoint 1
Midpoint 1 = (AQ × SP = ATQ × AM% × SP)
AQ = actual quantity
SP = standard price
ATQ = actual total units of input
AM% = actual mix percentage
Midpoint 2
Midpoint 2 = (ATQ × SM% × SP)
ATQ = actual total units of input
SM% = standard mix percentage
SP = standard price
Flexible budget
Flexible budget = (STQ × SM% × SP)
STQ = standard total units of input allowed for actual output
SM% = standard mix percentage
SP = standard price
Mix variance
Mix variance = ATQ × (AM% – SM%) × SP
ATQ = actual total units of input
AM% = actual mix percentage
SM% = standard mix percentage
SP = standard price
Yield variance
Yield variance = (ATQ – STQ) × SM% × SP
ATQ = actual total units of input
STQ = standard total units of input allowed for actual output
SM% = standard mix percentage
SP = standard price
