Course Description
The comparison of actual revenue or margin amounts to either budget or prior year results will generally result in a variance. This course demonstrates mathematical formulas to compute the variance that is attributable to pricing decisions, unit volume, and product mix.

Specific topics covered are the calculation of the price, volume, mix, and cost components as well as an explanation of the concept of product mix. This course is a valuable resource for CPAs working in the manufacturing or distribution industry, as well as for CPAs in public accounting who serve these industries.
