products
→ Expected cost of one unit
→ = standard quantity x standard price
Budget → Expected cost for all units
Variance → Difference between actual results and what should have
occurred
→ Deviation from standard
Standard → Actual cost being different than standard (expected cost)
cost due to
variance − Price variance
− Quantity variance
Variance
analysis
cycle

Appropriate → Uniform products
with → Made in repetitive process
→ High volumes
Standards Ideal Standards
→ Allow for no interruptions
