Variance, Cost Accounting

Assignment Help:

It is important to have performance measures to evaluate managers as they control resources and invest in assets for the company. Describe how you could use different variances (actual to standard) to evaluate performance. Additionally, there are nonfinancial performance measures that can be used. Are there any that you think would be more or less important to a manufacturing company or a service company? Can you provide an example of a personal spending variance that you have experienced? I need a decently detailed response to this question.
