  • This video demonstrates how to conduct a variance analysis for direct materials. A comprehensive example is provided to show how both the price variance and quantity variance are calculated. The example also shows how variance analysis differs when the quantity purchased differs from the quantity used.

    Man! really thank you for these videos you're making. I'm an MBA student. I watch almost all your fantastic videos & I benefited alooooot of them. I like the rational and logic behind the way you explain concepts. Also, I always recommend your videos to my classmates cuz honestly speaking, for multiple times (if not all the times) your concise explanations are way better than what my respectful professor does in the class. Thank you again.

  • @shafqatshah242
    @shafqatshah242 Před 7 lety +1

    You have explained the Material Variance very well. Thanks alot for Such a useful video.
    I have a Question. Why Standard Price is used to calculate the Quantity Variance and why actual price is not used?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  Před 7 lety +4

      The actual price is affected by how good the purchasing manager is at getting a good deal from the supplier. Thus, we use the standard price in this case because we solely want to focus on determining how efficient the company was at using direct materials

  • @user-mh8cu5dt2d
    @user-mh8cu5dt2d Před 4 lety

    Thanks for your videos. I started watching your channel to improve my English and consider that it's very helpful.
    When I was studying this kind of analysis called chain substitution method. Maybe it's not accurate translation.
    Let me not agree with this video and ask you a question: why do you make calculations with 950? If company produce tables from year to year and they know how much it takes wood to make 1 table (8 pounds) so why did it was bought so much wood?
    I assure if firm specializes in wood manufacturing, they should keep some would in the stock for future orders.
    So if we perform variance analysis, we must analyze current expenses for production for certain period, i.e. how much wood, labor, etc. we spend to 105 tables (875 pounds). Surplus will be used later.
    If we calculate cash flow we use 950.

    @dianelisaballe8568 Před 8 lety

    Hello! what is the actual quantity purchased is the same as actual quantity used. does it affect SQ? Wouldnt there be no variance since there is no difference in used and purchased?

    • @quaqmireful
      @quaqmireful Před 8 lety +1

      +Dianelis Aballe Yes, you are right. Variance, simply put, is the difference between the standard vs. Actuals. So if it is the same, then no variance :)
