Newport Beach Manufacturing Corporation uses a standard cost system that records raw materials at actual cost, records materials price variances at the time that raw materials are issued to work , and prorates all variances at year-end. Variances associated with direct materials are prorated based on the direct materials balances in the appropriate accounts, and variances associated with direct labor are prorated based on the direct labor balances in the appropriate accounts.

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.
Newport Beach Manufacturing Corporation uses a
system that records raw materials at actual cost, records materials
price variances at the time that raw materials are issued to work
, and prorates all variances at year-end. Variances
associated with direct materials are prorated based on the direct
materials balances in the appropriate accounts, and variances
associated with direct labor are prorated based on the direct labor
balances in the appropriate accounts. The following information
