Delta Products prepares its budgets on the basis of standard costs. A responsibility report is prepared monthly showing the differences between master budget and actual results. Variances are analyzed and reported separately. There are no materials inventories. The following information relates to the current period: Standard costs (per unit of output) Direct materials, 7 gallons @ $4.00 per gallon Direct labor, 5.00 hours @ $44.00 per hour Factory overhead Variable (25% of direct labor cost) $ 28 220 55 Total standard cost per unit $ 303 Actual costs and activities for the month follow: Materials used 16,020 gallons at $1.98 per gallon 2,060 units 5,700 hours at $41.80 per hour $58, 200 Output Actual labor costs Actual variable overhead Required: Prepare a cost variance analysis for the variable costs. (Enter your final answers as a whole number. Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do n select either option.)

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.
