Material and Sales variances
4y ago#1I assume that you are asking me to comment on what you have written?
It is correct except for the material yield variance. It is comparing the actual output with the standard output, both using the standard mix.
Do watch my free lectures on this.
Material Yield is calculated as the difference between the total actual output produced in standard mix with the total standard output produced in standard mix valued at standard cost.
Is it correct now?
Thanks for your support :)
