How do you calculate the cost variances using (actual, standard, flexible, static) for direct materials and direct labor in the exhibits below? actual = actual
How do you calculate the cost variances using (actual, standard, flexible, static) for direct materials and direct labor in the exhibits below?
actual = actual price x actual input x actual output
standard = standard price x actual input x actual output
flexible = standard price x standard input x actual output
static = standard price x standard input x standard output
I am confused on how to get the actual/standard price, input and output? How do you get the price if it's missing in the exhibit?
