No – it is not deleted. It is assumed knowledge from Paper F2.
The examiner has made it clear that they can be asked as part of a question. The syllabus for June 2014 is the same as for the last two exams and basic variances were examined in both.
In addition, it is impossible to understand planning & operational variances without an understanding of basic variances.
