Wolsey Industries Inc. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y8 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows: 1 Estimated Fixed Cost Estimated Variable Cost (per unit sold) 2 Production costs: 3 Direct materials — $46.00 4 Direct labor — 40.00 5 Factory overhead $200,000.00 20.00 6 Selling expenses: 7 Sales salaries and commissions 110,000.00 8.00 8 Advertising 40,000.00 — 9 Travel 12,000.00 — 10 Miscellaneous selling expense 7,600.00 1.00 11 Administrative expenses: 12 Office and officers’ salaries 132,000.00 — 13 Supplies 10,000.00 4.00 14 Miscellaneous administrative expense 13,400.00 1.00 15 Total $525,000.00 $120.00 It is expected that 21,875 units will be sold at a price of $160 a unit.

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.
