Task 3: Variance Analysis of Public Health Budget
, 2
A1: Purpose
The report highlights the variance analysis of MMR/Varicella vaccine clinic budget
through the comparison of the expected costs and actual costs over span of ten days. This report
will be highlighting important favorable and unfavorable variances, evaluating their effects on
the budgetary performance of the clinic, and giving recommendations for improving the budget
plan in the next clinics.
A2: Context
The variance analysis of the 10-day MMR/Varicella vaccine clinic budget reveals several
significant discrepancies between projected and actual expenditures. Unfavorable variances
exceeding 5% include Information Technology (IT) costs, which rose from $1,000 to $1,300
(30% over budget), gloves usage from $99.90 to $109.89 (10% over), gas for the mobile van
from $1,200 to $1,320 (10% over), and Physician Assistant compensation from $5,000 to $5,250
(5% over). Favorable variances exceeding 10% include Adhesive Bandages, which dropped from
$67.30 to $53.84 (20% under budget), and Rural Immunization Nurse Consultant salaries, which
decreased from $6,000 to $5,400 (10% under budget). These deviations indicate higher-than-
expected costs in key operational areas and savings in supplies and certain staffing categories.
B1: Identification of Discrepancies
The variance analysis of the 10-day MMR/Varicella vaccine clinic budget identifies
several significant discrepancies between projected and actual expenditures. Unfavorable
variances exceeding 5% occurred in Information Technology costs ($1,000 projected vs. $1,300
actual, 30% over), Language Line usage ($200 vs. $260, 30% over), Gloves ($99.90 vs. $109.89,
10% over), Gas for the Mobile Van ($1,200 vs. $1,320, 10% over), Physician Assistant
compensation ($5,000 vs. $5,250, 5% over), and Utilities ($2,000 vs. $2,100, 5% over).
