Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
Standard Costing
The standard cost system is the expected cost per unit product manufactured and it helps in estimating the deviations and controlling them as well as fixing the selling price of the product. For example, it helps to plan the cost for the coming year on the various expenses.

Transcribed Image Text:Nolan Mills uses a standard cost system. During May, Nolan manufactured 15,000 pillowcases, using 28,000 yards of fabric costing
$3.05 per yard and incurring direct labor costs of $17,766 for 3,290 hours of direct labor. The standard cost per pillowcase
assumes 1.75 yards of fabric at $3.10 per yard, and 0.20 hours of direct labor at $5.95 per hour.
Required:
a. Compute both the price variance and quantity variance relating to direct materials used in the manufacture of pillowcases in
May.
b. Compute both the rate variance and efficiency variance for direct labor costs incurred in manufacturing pillowcases in May.
Note: For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None"
and enter "O" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round your intermediate values. Round your answers to 2 decimal
places.
a. Materials price variance
a. Materials quantity variance
b. Labor rate variance
b. Labor efficiency variance
