Variance Analysis: Year 6 In this part of the report‚ we analyze the variances between our pro-forma statements we had projected and the actual results we received from the BPG game. Looking at the variances‚ it can be seen that most of the numbers compared are not too far apart from each other when comparing our actual numbers to the projected analysis. This is due to the fact our forecast was successful. It was however not 100% accurate in terms of predicting our future numbers. Looking at the
