Define standard costs. How do they assist management?

A product has a sales price of $20. Based on a 15,000-unit production level, the variable costs are $12 per unit and the fixed costs are $6 per unit. Using a flexible budget for an actual production and sales level of 18,000 units, what is the budgeted operating income?

The difference between the flexible budget sales and the fixed budget sales is called the ________ variance.

A cost variance can be further separated into the quantity variance and the price variance.
