In standard costing system standard costs for all activities are established for better controlling purpose as well as budgeting purpose so standard cost is that cost which is management expects to occurs if some activity is performed but actual cost is the cost which actually spend to perform specific activity and both costs may be same or different due to many reasons and variance analysis is done to find out the reasons for differences.
The difference between actual quantity and standard quantity is called the material quantity variance.
Standard cost is the cost which is basis to measure the actual cost historical cost is the initial cost
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
Cost variance means the difference in actual cost from standard cost and very important part of standard costing and budgeting analysis.

A favorable variance is the difference between the budgeted or standard cost and the actual cost. If the actual cost is less than budgeted or standard cost, it is a favorable variance.

Labor cost variance means the difference between standard labor cost and actual labor cost.
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
Standard cost is that cost which is budgeted at start of production while actual cost is that cost which actually incurred by business both of them can be same if actual cost incurred is same as allocated or determined in budgeting process using standard cost otherwise there will be difference.
Cost variance means the difference in actual cost from standard cost and very important part of standard costing and budgeting analysis.
The main difference between standard cost and marginal cost is that in standard cost a target is set and in marginal cost there is no target set. Marginal cost is the change of the total cost due to the quantity produced.
The difference between the Actual Value & Earned Value is the Project Cost Variance
