HERE GOES THE ACCOUNTANT!

Let’s assume he had budgeted to earn $80m as at June 2020, what is the variance and variance percentage?

If variance of 15% is significant, will this variance be significant or otherwise?

Budget	Actual	Variance	Variance %	Adverse/Favourable	Significant / Not Significant
80,000,000	61,544,007	18,455,993	23.07%	Adverse	S

 

Variance/ Budget x 100= 18455993/80000000x100= 23.07%
