A Bonita Springs trade activity planned 38 units per day and actually produced 34 units per day. What production variance should be logged?
Correct Answer
B) -4.0 units per day
Production variance equals actual production minus planned production.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Production variance equals actual production minus planned production.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 72.0 units per day
72.0 units per day is above the supported result for production variance; it likely adds a step the rule does not support.
Option C: +4.0 units per day
+4.0 units per day is not aligned with the supported result for production variance; it has the wrong label or classification even if the number looks close.
Option D: 0.9 units per day
0.9 units per day is below the supported result for production variance; it likely drops a required step.
