               Mix variance

               Material            Standard      Actual     Difference     @ Standard  Variance
                                      mix*         mix                        price

               A                       X            X            X              X             X

               B                       X            X            X              X             X


                                       X            X                                         X

               *     this is the key calculation for mix variances. You need to split the total actual
                     quantity in the standard ratio of the materials.

               Yield variance

               Actual yield (output)                                X        units
               Standard yield from actual input                     Y        units

                                                                ––––––––

               @ Average price per unit of output                   $
