Definitions:

Static Budget

A budget based on a fixed set of assumptions that don't change over the period it covers, regardless of actual changes in volume or activity levels.

Standard Costing

Standard Costing is a cost accounting method that uses fixed overhead rates and standard costs for materials and labor to help control costs and measure performance.

Variable Overhead

Variable overhead refers to costs that vary with production levels, such as utility expenses for machinery or materials, fluctuating with the volume of output.

Labour Efficiency Variance

The difference between the actual hours worked and the standard hours allowed for the work performed, multiplied by the standard labor rate.
