Does anyone have a good way of remembering whether or not the Fixed Overhead Efficency and Capacity Variances are Adverse or Favourable?<BR><BR>Thanks

Varaince Analalysis Favourable or Adverse
Hi<BR><BR>The result will tell you if Favourable or Adverse. The way I remember it is they all make sense apart from Fixed OH Volume capacity.<BR><BR>Eg.<BR><BR>Fixed OH volume efficiency:<BR><BR>Budgeted Hours 10,200<BR>Actual Hours 8,500<BR>Result 1,700 (Favourable as less hours worked)<BR><BR>Fixed OH volume capacity:**<BR><BR>Budgeted Hours 10,200<BR>Actual Hours 8,500<BR>Result 1,700 (Adverse) <BR><BR>** Always remember that capacity is different to the rest!<BR><BR>Hope this is what you were referring to.0 -

Hi.<BR><BR>As the efficiency and capacity are sub-variances, the only way i've found is to make sure they equal the volume variance.<BR><BR>Scott.0 -

is ghoban sure about efficiency. I don't recall budget hours as part of this calculation. This site makes it difficult to tell who is replying to whom, occasionally.0 -
I hope you find this helpful
If more hours were worked than budgeted the capacity is Favourable<BR><BR>If more hours were worked than the standard neeeded for actual output the efficiency variance is Adverse<BR><BR><BR>So we have more capacity if the hours are more than budget<BR>But we have less efficiency if the time taken was more than the standard for actual output0 -

Bryan I agree<BR><BR>Ghoban:<BR>efficiency is the difference between the standard time for actual production less actual time taken0
