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.

![During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
a. Purchased 17,600 pounds of materials at a cost of $3.25 per pound.
b. Used 12,400 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be
ignored.)
c. Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $8.00 per hour.
d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $7,560 for the month. A total of 1,800 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company's policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
