In most production management systems, a "Planned" quantity and material cost is calculated based on the associated Bill of Materials (BOM) and Operatons being performed (Route) creating labor and overhead related costs. The "Actual" quantities, material costs, and labor/overhead costs are issued to a Work in Process (WIP) account and the quantities/values of the produced items are recieved from the WIP account. A variance usually occurs when there is a difference between the issued material cost plus labor and overhead and the recieved material cost of the produced item. The reasons for these variances can be differences in planned vs actual quantities, differences in system or planned cost of materials, labor, or overhead vs actual cost, or any other potential reason for an unplanned difference.

∙ 13y agoThe variance of a random variable is a measure of its statistical dispersion, indicating how far from the expected value its values typically are (Wikipedia 2006). The variance of a real-valued random variable is its second central moment, and it also happens to be its second cumulant (Wikipedia 2006). The variance of a random variable is the square of its standard deviation (Wikipedia 2006).
Variance is the difference between what is expected and the actuals. it is the difference between "should take" and "did take". The deviation from the actuals is called variance. Variance can be of two types positive and negative.

What difference between a favorable variance and an unfavorable variance?
Favourable variance is that variance which is good for business while unfavourable variance is bad for business
What factors causes Budget Variance?
There are 7 variances associated with a budget ( which are generally calculated for controlling purposes) 1- Material Price variance 2- Material Quantity variance 3- Labor rate variance 4- Labor efficiency variance 5- Spending variance 6- Efficiency variance 7- Capacity variance
What is Assumptions for Variance Homogeneous?
Equal in Variance
What is a difference between a pooled variance and a combined variance?
Pooled variance is a method for estimating variance given several different samples taken in different circumstances where the mean may vary between samples but the true variance (equivalently, precision) is assumed to remain the same. A combined variance is a method for estimating variance from several samples, given the size, mean and standard deviation of each. Mathematically, a combined variance is equal to the calculated variance of the set of the data from all samples. See links.
What is the sample variance of 5781010 and 14?
The variance is: 1.6709957376e+13
What difference between a favorable variance and an unfavorable variance?
Favourable variance is that variance which is good for business while unfavourable variance is bad for business
What is the difference between negative price variance and volume variance?
Negative price variance is when the cost is less than budgeted. Volume variance is a variance in the volume produce.
What are the variances in a 4 variance analysis?
efficiency variance, spending variance, production volume variance, variable and fixed components
What factors causes Budget Variance?
There are 7 variances associated with a budget ( which are generally calculated for controlling purposes) 1- Material Price variance 2- Material Quantity variance 3- Labor rate variance 4- Labor efficiency variance 5- Spending variance 6- Efficiency variance 7- Capacity variance
Which is not a measure of dispersion range or variance?
Variance
What is Assumptions for Variance Heterogeneous?
Unequal in Variance
What is Assumptions for Variance Homogeneous?
Equal in Variance
Can variance be negative?
Since Variance is the average of the squared distanced from the mean, Variance must be a non negative number.
What is Proportion of variance unaccounted?
The unaccounted for variance aka Error Variance, is the amount of variance of the dependent variable (DV) that is not accounted for by the main effects/independent variables (IV) and their interactions.
Can the Variance ever be smaller than standard deviation?
Yes. If the variance is less than 1, the standard deviation will be greater that the variance. For example, if the variance is 0.5, the standard deviation is sqrt(0.5) or 0.707.
