A budget is an estimate. Variances help explain why actual outcomes do not match those projected. Variances are calculated for materials, labor, fixed and variable manufacturing overhead. Variances are divided between Price variance Efficiency variance (Production volume variance for fixed manufacturing overhead) LO 3 Why do variances exist? The best explanation is that a budget is an estimate. Therefore, variances help explain why actual outcomes do not match those projected. Variances are calculated for materials, labor, fixed and variable manufacturing overhead. Variances are divided between: Price variance Efficiency variance (Production volume variance for fixed manufacturing overhead) REASONS FOR VARIANCE A variance is the difference between a predetermined norm or standard and actual results Standards may be biased Systematic reasons Change in prices More/less efficient use of inputs LO 3 Variances can occur for many reasons such as: 1.
