    hello, i dont understand how we get the yield variance??
    i know there is a loss, and that we have to add back that 10% loss to get the quantity that should’ve been used, but i keep getting 24,000 kg.

      But that is what I get in the lecture! We should have used 24,000kg but we actually used 23478kg

    sorry for a silly question – where we have taken from 5, 870 kg as standard mix while we calculating mix variance ? thanks in advance

    Hi john,

    Q1 what is the relevance of normal loss/actual loss in this ques. and in others ques too?

    And

    Q2 Is it true whenever we get an adverse material mix variance we get favourable yield variance?

      Have you watched the lecture on mix and yield variances? (because there is no point in looking at this question if you have not).

      The only reason for their being a yield variance is because the loss is more or less than expected.

      And no – an adverse mix variance might well result in a favourable yield variance, but it is certainly not necessarily the case – there are lots of possible reasons for both.

    Hello John, i have not really understood why you multiplied 0.4 * 60,000 pliz help on that.

      Because we produced 60,000 cakes, and each cake should use 0.4 kg of material in total (from the standard cost card).

    Hi Andreia

    I am afraid, we do not know what site it was, many adverts are on the site without our control, they come from google network.

    All I can suggest is for you to look in your browser history
    and if you did not clear it, it should be still there 馃檪

    Hello,
    First of all thank you for the great help for F5 in the december 2010 session. I have a very strange question I know, but I hope you could answer – while studying, in November you had a banner on your website advertising some brand-like purses, which to be honest made me waste some 30 minutes study time 馃檪 I haven’t added it to favourites and I can’t remember which site it was – could you please help? I feel like rewarding myself after all the hard study,

    Thank you and sorry for the strange question again,
    Andreia
