Summary
Accounting variances are differences between expected and actual costs. Students learn how to calculate and interpret these variances. They also see how to use them to make decisions in a business.
Monthly financial reports
Monthly financial reports help managers monitor a business. They show how well the business is doing. A controller must make the report clear and useful.
Fixed and variable costs
Costs can be fixed or variable. Fixed costs do not change with output. Variable costs do change with output. Managers need to know the difference.
Joint costs and further processing
Joint costs are shared by multiple products. Managers must decide whether to process these products further. They compare the extra cost and extra revenue.
Overhead variances
Overhead variances show differences between expected and actual overhead costs. They help managers understand and control these costs. Students calculate three types of overhead variance.
