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

![Bonita Labs, Inc. provides mad cow disease testing for both state and federal governmental agricultural agencies. Because the
company's customers are governmental agencies, prices are strictly regulated. Therefore, Bonita Labs must constantly monitor and
control its testing costs. Shown below are the standard costs for a typical test.
Direct materials (2 test tubes @ $1.40 per tube)
Direct labor (1 hour @ $24 per hour)
Variable overhead (1 hour @ $7.20 per hour)
Fixed overhead (1 hour @ $9.00 per hour)
Total standard cost per test
Direct materials (2,800 test tubes)
Direct labor (1,390 hours)
Variable overhead
Fixed overhead
$3,080

$2.80
24.00
12,500

$43.00
Monthly budgeted fixed overhead is $12,600. Revenues for the month were $67,500, and selling and administrative expenses were
