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.

Please help me.
Thankyou.
![Hiram's Lakeside is a popular restaurant located on Lake Washington in Seattle. The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better
understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity-based costing study. The intern, in consultation
with the owner, identified three major activities and then completed the first-stage allocations of costs to the activity cost pools. The
results appear below.
Activity Cost Pool
Serving a party of diners
Serving a diner
Serving drinks
Activity Measure
Number of parties served
Number of diners served
Number of drinks ordered
The above costs include all of the costs of the restaurant except for organization-sustaining costs such as rent, property taxes, and top-
management salaries.
Some costs, such as the cost of cleaning the linens that cover the restaurant's tables, vary with the number of parties served. Other
costs, such as washing plates and glasses, depend on the number of diners served or the number of drinks served.
Total Cost
$ 22,200
$ 113,160
$ 42,900
Prior to the activity-based costing study, the owner knew very little about the costs of the restaurant. She knew that the total cost for
the month (including organization-sustaining costs) was $180,000 and that 12,000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average
cost per diner was $15.
a. A party of five diners who order five drinks in total.
b. A party of four diners who do not order any drinks.
c. A party of one diner who orders two drinks.
