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.

E (Click the icon to view the standards.)
(Click the icon to view the actual results.)
Read the requirements.
Requirement 1. Compute the direct material price variance and the direct material quantity variance. (Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter currency
amounts in the formula to the nearest cent and then round the final variance amount to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or
unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)
First determine the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
) = DM price variance
Actual Results
Earthern Ware allocated fixed manufacturing overhead to production based on standard direct
labor hours. Last month, the company reported the following actual results for the production of
1,100 flower pots:
Purchased 14,120 pounds at a cost of $5.30 per pound;
used 13,420 pounds to produce 1,100 pots
Worked 3.5 hours per flower pot (3,850 total DLH) at a
