  2. Variance (accounting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance_(accounting)

    The difference in manufacturing overhead can be divided into spending, efficiency, and volume variances. Mix and yield variances can also be calculated. Variance analysis helps management to understand the present costs and then to control future costs.

  3. Direct material total variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_material_total_variance

    In variance analysis (accounting) direct material total variance is the difference between the actual cost of actual number of units produced and its budgeted cost in terms of material. Direct material total variance can be divided into two components: the direct material price variance, the direct material usage variance.

  4. Pre-determined overhead rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-determined_overhead_rate

    A pre-determined overhead rate is normally the term when using a single, plant-wide base to calculate and apply overhead. Overhead is then applied by multiplying the pre-determined overhead rate by the actual driver units. Any difference between applied overhead and the amount of overhead actually incurred is called over- or under-applied overhead.

  5. Cost accounting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_accounting

    An important part of standard cost accounting is a variance analysis, which breaks down the variation between actual cost and standard costs into various components (volume variation, material cost variation, labor cost variation, etc.) so managers can understand why costs were different from what was planned and take appropriate action to ...

  6. Standard cost accounting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_cost_accounting

    An important part of standard cost accounting is a variance analysis, which breaks down the variation between actual cost and standard costs into various components (volume variation, material cost variation, labor cost variation, etc.) so managers can understand why costs were different from what was planned and take appropriate action to ...

  7. Algorithms for calculating variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating...

    Algorithms for calculating variance play a major role in computational statistics.A key difficulty in the design of good algorithms for this problem is that formulas for the variance may involve sums of squares, which can lead to numerical instability as well as to arithmetic overflow when dealing with large values.

  8. Total absorption costing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_absorption_costing

    In this method cost is absorbed as a percent of the labour cost or the wages. (Overhead cost/Labour cost)x 100 If the Labour cost is 5000 and the overhead cost is 1000 then the absorption cost is 20%. If the labour cost of one job is 500 it will have to absorb 20% i.e. 100 as the overhead cost making the total cost to be 600.

  9. Direct material usage variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_material_usage_variance

    In variance analysis, direct material usage (efficiency, quantity) variance is the difference between the standard quantity of materials that should have been used for the number of units actually produced, and the actual quantity of materials used, valued at the standard cost per unit of material.
