Notes:
1 Note that the DM variances focus on those materials that were consumed . Contrast this with the flexible budget, which focused on materials purchased .
2 The DM Price Variance measures the effect on Total DM Variance due to differences in budgeted and actual DM unit costs. This is similar to the purchase
price variance which measures the difference in unit costs for all units purchased, not just those consumed.
3 The DM Quantity Variance measures the effect on Total DM Variance due to differences in budgeted and actual DM quantities consumed.
4 Actual Results - Static Budget OR DM Price Variance + DM Quantity Variance.
5 Mix = individual units / total units.
6 The DM Mix Variance measures the effect on the DM Quantity Variance due to differences in budgeted and actual mix.
7 The DM Yield Variance measures the effect on the DM Quantity Variance due to differences in budgeted and actual total input.
8 DM Mix Variance + DM Yield Variance.
