Actual Produced = 5,000 units Materials = 15,000 yards purchased and used @ 3.00 per yard Labor = 12,000 DLH @ 4.5 per hour Standard Materials = 3.5 yards/unit @ 2.00 per yard Labor = 2.5 yards/unit @ 5.5 per hour Solve for the material usage variance
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.
Actual
Produced = 5,000 units
Materials = 15,000 yards purchased and used @ 3.00 per yard
Labor = 12,000 DLH @ 4.5 per hour
Standard
Materials = 3.5 yards/unit @ 2.00 per yard
Labor = 2.5 yards/unit @ 5.5 per hour
