variance
6y ago#1There are two ways of calculating planning and operational variances. They result in different answers but are both sensible, and both methods are accepted by the examiner.
The way I explain in my free lectures is the way that the current examiner prefers and is the easiest way as well. (The way you have written is the way that the previous examiner used to prefer).
Do watch my lectures - they are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
