Variable Costing, Absorption Costing During its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,000 plastic snow scoops. Snow scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,800 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at $0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,500. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold. There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis): Sales (38,800 units @ $20) $776,000 Less: Cost of goods sold 546,460 Gross margin $229,540 Less: Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 185,500 Operating income $ 44,040 Required: Question Content Area 1.

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.
