The document discusses standard costing and variance analysis. It provides examples of calculating variances for labor costs, overhead costs, and flexible budgeting at different activity levels. Specifically:
1) Standard costing involves preparing standard costs and comparing them to actual costs to analyze variances and their causes.
2) Variances measure the difference between standard and actual costs and can be favorable or unfavorable.
3) Examples show how to calculate variances for labor costs, overhead costs, and prepare flexible budgets at different activity levels.
