Ques - Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding planning and operational
variances?
(1) Planning and operational variances are calculated when it is necessary to assess a
manager on results that are within his/her control.
(2) Revised standards are required because variances may arise partly due to an
unrealistic budget, and not solely due to operational factors.
A 1 only
B 2 only
C Neither 1 nor 2
D Both 1 and 2
As per answer it is D?
My understanding is that we assess the managers performance only by operational variance as planning variance is uncontrollable for them ? right so shouldnt it just be B ?
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
Planning and Operational variances question
We assess the managers on the operational variances and therefore we need to analyse the total variance into the planning and operational variances. Statement 1 is true.
Okayy..got it ...Thanks
