Actual total material =4200
loss (522)
actual yield 3648

actual sales= actual yield
budgeted sales 4096kg

Calculate yield and sales volume variance
John MoffatJohn MoffatAdmin15y ago#1
The sales volume variance is the difference in sales volume (4096 - 3648) multiplied by the standard contribution per kg..

To calculate the yield variance, take the difference between the actual input (4200kg) and the standard input for the actual output (3648 x 35/32 = 3990kg) and cost out at standard mix and standard cost. Depending on how you were taught it, you can also cost out the difference at the standard cost per kg of input - it will give the same answer.
