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.

![Part 1.
Rhiner Corporation is a manufacturer that uses job-order costing. On January 1, the
company's inventory balances were as follows:
Raw materials
Work in process
Finished goods
$42,000
$20,000
$36,000
The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the
current year, the company's predetermined overhead rate of $16.50 per direct labor-
hour was based on a cost formula that estimated $660,000 of total manufacturing
overhead for an estimated activity level of 40,000 direct labor-hours. The following
transactions were recorded for the year:
Raw materials were purchased on account, $520,000.
Raw materials used in production, $465,000. All of the raw materials were used
as direct materials.
The following costs were accrued for employee services: direct labor, $605,000,
indirect labor, $150,000, selling and administrative salaries, $240,000.
Incurred various selling and administrative expenses (e.g., advertising, sales
travel costs, and finished goods warehousing), $357.000.
• Incurred various manufacturing overhead costs (e g., depreciation, insurance,
and utilities), $505,000.
• Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to production. The company actuallV.
worked 42,000 direct labor-hours on all jobs during the year.
Jobs costing $1,685,000 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets were
completed during the year.
Jobs were sold on account to customers during the year for a total of $2,750,000.
The jobs cost $1,695,000 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4cce0869-eb34-417d-84d5-af832f5ae5f4%2F675b66f5-09d0-469b-b0ed-a9638d985227%2Fshoo1k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

PLEASE LIKE THE ANSWER
- Total amount of manufacturing overhead applied to production during the year is =
=FORMULA= direct Labor hours actually worked * per direct Labor hour
= 42,000 * $ 16.50
= $ 693,000
2. Total manufacturing cost added to work in progress is
Formula = Raw Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $ 465,000 + $ 605,000 + $ 693,000
= $ 1763,000
