Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Efficiency Variance

Efficiency Variance refers to the difference between the actual input used and the standard input expected for a given level of output, often measured in terms of labor or materials. It is calculated using the efficiency variance formula: (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity) x Standard Cost. This variance helps in assessing operational performance and resource utilization.
