The departments’ combined manufacturing overhead costs are: Cost Machining Total $450,000 Cost Set up Total $144,000 Cost Inspection Total $126,000 Required: Compute the manufacturing overhead cost for each product. Compute the manufacturing cost for each product.
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.
