- Variances are the difference between the budgeted values and actual values of the cost and revenue items and are analyzed for components of direct and indirect costs.
- In case of costs, the change is deemed unfavorable if the actual costs exceed the budgeted costs and the change is deemed favorable if the actual costs do not exceed the budgeted costs.
- In case of revenues, the change is deemed favorable if the actual revenues exceed the budgeted revenues and the change is deemed unfavorable if the actual revenues are less than the budgeted revenues. Examples of the Variance Analysis metrics include:
