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.

However, the company's chief engineer is opposed to making the starters because the production cost per unit is $11.90 as shown below: Per Unit $ 5.00 3.20 Total Direct materials Direct labor Supervision Depreciation Variable manufacturing overhead Rent 1.80 1.00 0.50 0.40 $ 90,000 $ 50,000 $ 20,000 Total production cost $11.90 If Futura decides to make the starters, a supervisor would have to be hired (at a salary of $90,000) to oversee production.
