Mix and Yield Variance
4y ago#1The sales volume variance is calculated comparing actual sales to budgeted sales. It can be analysed into the sales mix and sales quantity variances.
The sales quantity variance is calculated using the standard mix for the actual total sales and compares with the budgeted total sales and ignores any change in the mix.
Have you watched my free lectures on this?

Why the Fixed cost has been treated as Variable cost here?
