      Used this methodology on Q275 and yes it took afew tries but I eventually got it spot on!! Also noticed with sales it becomes negative for favourable and positive for adverse. The yield becomes the quantity contribution variance in this case

    Hi Steve, just as a handy tip..If you click the arrow in the top left of the spreadsheet (between the A column and the 1 row), it will highlight the entire spreadsheet. If you then double click between the A and B, it will automatically resize every column to the required size. Save you clicking each column individually.

    Hi Steve, can we directly equate AqSp in place of AqAMixSp in the exam if we are required to calculate Usage Variances for each material? Are we expected to show the workings for AqAMixSp?

    • @SteveWillisACCA
      @SteveWillisACCA  11 місяців тому +1

      Hello, yes you can do that. Aq for each material is actually the "Actual quantity in the actual mix."
      You should show workings to get partial credit if there is a mistake in your calcs.
      Plus, it's easier to lay it all out step-by-step before you start working.
      Good luck!

      Loss of material during the process, i.e. waste, would impact the yield variance. The mix variance only looks at the ratio of the inputs.
