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.

Question
![Edney Company employs a standard cost system for product costing. The per-unit standard cost of its product is:
Raw materials
Direct labor (2 direct labor hours x $8.00 per hour)
Manufacturing overhead (2 direct labor hours x $12.20 per hour)
$ 14.00
16.00
24.40
$ 54.40
Total standard cost per unit
The manufacturing overhead rate is based on a normal capacity level of 600,000 direct labor hours. The firm has the following annual
manufacturing overhead budget:
Variable
Fixed
$ 3,960,000
3,360,000
$ 7,320,000
Edney incurred $434,550 in direct labor cost for 54,100 direct labor hours to manufacture 26,000 units in November. Other costs
incurred in November include $296,000 for fixed manufacturing overhead and $342,000 for variable manufacturing overhead.
Required:
1. Determine each of the following for November. [Note: Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).]
a. The variable overhead rate (spending) variance.
b. The variable overhead efficiency variance.
c. The fixed overhead budget (spending) variance.
d. The fixed overhead volume variance.
e. The total amount of under- or overapplied manufacturing overhead (i.e., the total manufacturing overhead cost variance for the
period).
2. Prepare the following four journal entries:
(a) to record actual variable overhead costs,
(b) to record actual fixed overhead costs,
(c) to record standard overhead costs applied to production, and
(d) to record all four overhead cost variances.
The company uses a single account, Factory Overhead, to record all overhead costs. Assume that the actual variable manufacturing
overhead consists of utilities payable of $168,000, indirect materials of $112,000 (all materials, direct and indirect, are recorded in a
single account, Materials Inventory), and $62,000 depreciation on factory equipment (determined under the units-of-production
method). Assume that the fixed manufacturing overhead consists of accrued salaries of $66,000 and factory depreciation of
$230,000. All accrued salaries should be recorded in a single account, Accrued Payroll.
3. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to close all manufacturing overhead variances to the cost of goods sold (COGS) account.
(Assume the cost variances you calculated above are for the year, not the month.)
