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

Transcribed Image Text:Whiteside Corporation manufactures a variety of appliances which all use Part B89. Currently, Whiteside Corporation manufactures Part B89 itself. It has been producing
11,000 units of Part B89 annually. The annual costs of producing Part B89 at the level of 11,000 units include:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable manufacturing overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
Total cost
Answers:
$3.30
$8.50
All of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier. Assume the company can
purchase 11,000 units of the part from the Nadal Parts Company for $20.10 each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be used to manufacture 11,000
units of another product that would have a $9 per unit contribution margin. If no additional fixed costs would be incurred, what should Whiteside Corporation do?
Selected Answer:
Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $8.30 per unit contribution to profit.
Continue to make the part to earn an extra $8.50 per unit contribution to profit.
Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $8.30 per unit contribution to profit.
