You are asked to determine which costs are meeting the standards and which are not, to analyze the probable cause of the variances, and to provide a recommendation for moving forward. To determine this, you will conduct a variance analysis. In Doc Sharing, your Instructor will provide you with standard and actual costs to use for this part of the Assignment.
