    Why can't professors explain it this eloquently? This topic was giving me such a massive headache until I saw this video. You actually explain it, rather than just telling me to memorize a formula. Thank you! You're a godsend!

      Also, where are you from? I've been trying to pin your accent but can't figure it out. Chicago transplant maybe?

      No problem, I'm glad you were able to understand it. And thank you for the kind words!

      You are correct! I grew up around the south side of Chicago. It's funny, people always ask me if I'm from Minnesota, Canada, etc. but no one ever guesses Chicago.

  • @matthaios4357
    @matthaios4357 8 років тому

    Good video but many people will get confused if a variance is favorable or unfavorable. If you subtract standard - actual, you'll always find if it is favorable or unfavorable. For example, the Quantity Variance, if you rearrange the formula of SP x (AQ - SQ) to SP x (SQ - AQ), you'll always know whether it's favorable or unfavorable, unfavorable being a negative number of course. I'm taking my CPA exam on Friday, and this is a trick I use.

    • @ashleysanfino8221
      @ashleysanfino8221 7 років тому

      Really? I disagree. I think he explains it in a way that actually shows WHY it's favorable or unfavorable, rather than just another formula. Because the actual price is lower than the standard price, it's favorable. Rather than x-y=favorable/unfavorable. That's why I love his videos so much, because the formulas are of little importance when you actually understand the concept. He's a brilliant teacher!

    Hey EDSPIRA great videos. I recommend doing an example where you buy more popcorn than you used in production which would change how much is used in the middle column of your analysis. This gives lots of students the real trouble since they get confused about comparing the prices and quantity USED to make the popcorn/whatever.
