    In several questions in BPP revision kit they do not flex the fixed costs. As a result the 3 variances do not add up to total cost variance. Which way should we calculate the fixed variances? Both total cost and individual (volume, expenditure). Should we flex the fixed costs?

    I don’t have the BPP books so I can’t refer specifically, but I have already asked the question to the tutor on this topic which may help:
