    When to know whether we should use weighted average cost or std cost per unit or litre for yield variances that have a certain % of loss. I have seen in past papers they sometimes use weighted average cost and sometimes std cost per unit.

    This is how I calculate:

    Expected output for given input: actual input multiplied by % of loss
    Actual output: $abc
    Difference * weighted average cost = variance

    It doesn’t matter which method you use to calculate the yield variance – if they are applied properly then they all give the same answer.

    I show the way that I find the easiest to remember in my free lectures on mix and yield variances.
