Two types of variance results exist in terms of the variance effect: In standard costing and budget control, variance analyses are performed when the income or cost variance is divided into sub-variances in order to establish the reason for the difference between the expected income or costs and the actual results. There are many different types of sub-variances. The most important include: 1  A favourable variance is achieved when the actual performance is better than the expected results. 2  An adverse variance is achieved when the actual performance is worse than the expected results.
Baby Showers: Party and Invitation Timing. Timing the Party. In an effort to beat the clock, showers are usually given four to six weeks before the babyâs due date. Parents who receive gifts in advance of the birth have the advantage of knowing what additional items theyâll need to buy or borrow. However, showers can also wait until a few weeks after the birth. In fact, some expectant couples prefer to defer receiving gifts until after the babyâs arrival.
Showers are typically given four to six weeks before the baby's due date -- late enough so that the pregnancy is well along, but early enough so that the baby is unlikely to arrive before the party day does.
