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.

![Don Johnson is the management accountant for Cari-Blocks (CB), which manufactures
specialty blocks. CB uses two direct cost categories: direct materials and direct
manufacturing labour. Johnson feels that manufacturing overhead is most closely related to
material usage. Therefore, CB allocates manufacturing overhead to production based upon
pounds of materials used.
At the beginning of 2021, CB budgeted annual production of 200,000 blocks and adopted the
following standards for each block:](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fad0ebfe9-34e5-496e-87e2-1620f8a73549%2F25be240c-91cb-4d72-9a28-89a5810d5840%2Fdxk1jca_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
