Variance
7y ago#1If the expenditure was 2% below budget, then the variance of 1250 must equal 2% of the budget.
Therefore the budget is 1250/2% = $62,500.
The actual expenditure is 2% below budget and is therefore 62,500 - 1,250 = 61,250.
Why did you not watch the free lectures on variances before attempting questions? !!
Thanks alot sir!
Yes Sir, I did watch the lectures. But while solving I got a bit confused.
