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.

![The ABC Company makes 40,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing
machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable manufacturing overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
O ($92,000)
$276,000
$178,000
$5.50
$86,000
$5.60
An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in
the sewing machine. The price offered to ABC Company for this motor is $18. If ABC
Company decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the
production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be
avoided. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of
making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:
$4.75
