Michelle Inc. uses a 4-variance analysis of its manufacturing overhead costs, and has the following results for April. A. Budgeted direct labour-hours per unit is used to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. Fixed overhead is allocated on a per unit basis. B. Budgeted amounts for April 2011 are: Direct labour-hours 0.30 /Unit Variable labour-hour overhead rate: $ 20.00 /DLH Fixed manufacturing overhead: $600,000 Budgeted output (denominator level output): 30,000 Units C. Actual amounts for April 2011 are: Variable manufacturing overhead: $340,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead: $590,000 Direct labour-hours: 16,000 hours Actual output: 40,000 Units What is the variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance using 4-variance analysis? $101,200 favourable $80,000 unfavourable $101,200 unfavourable $80,000 favourable $181,200 favourable

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.
