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.

Transcribed Image Text:### Overhead Controllable Variance
**Instructions:**
Compute the overhead controllable variance. *(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting favorable, unfavorable, or no variance.)*
**Table: Overhead Controllable Variance**
This is a table with the following content:
- A row labeled "Controllable variance" with empty cells for data input.
**Explanation:**
The table is designed to calculate the controllable variance in overhead costs. Each cell is intended for specific input data that reflects whether the variance is favorable, unfavorable, or demonstrates no variance. The variance analysis helps in determining how well costs are being managed as per the predefined standards or budgets.
