Variances

JJames4y ago
I studied Ideal Time Variance from you videos. It is very clear. Thank you. I want to ask that Ideal time Variance would always be adverse. Right? And same, I want to confirm for Closing Inventory variance that it will also be adverse every time?

For Paper MA, the idle time variance will either be adverse or be zero (there might be no idle time :-) ). There is no closing inventory variance. Inventories are always values at standard cost for variance analysis.
