    Capacity - cows are beefy
    Capacity = actual by budgeted

    Volume - vera eats stale bread
    Volume = standard by budgeted

    Efficiency - elephants squash ants
    Efficiency = standard by actual

    This might help!

    I think the best way is to study the text that accompanies the formulai in your book until you fully understand the point of them. Which probably won't take any longer than drilling it into your memory parrot style.

    Also you will be asked to explain variances in the exam.

    Never seen a good acronym for these ones.

    This is good advice...you do need to understand what affect the variances have on the business.....because you do need to explain this in the exams.


    I found the diagrams of this section in the Osbourne books very good and constantly revised the diagram and the meanings of the different variances...it's the only way.


    Good Luck
