Definitions:

Variable Overhead

Costs of overhead that vary directly with the level of production, such as utilities or indirect materials.

Power Cost

The expense associated with the consumption of electrical energy by a company's operations.

Efficiency Variances

These variances measure the difference between the actual input used to produce a good or service and the standard input expected to be used, showing how efficiently resources are utilized.

Rate Variances

Differences between actual rates paid for inputs and the standard expected rates, often analyzed in cost accounting for labor, materials, and overhead costs.
