Standard Costs
Standards are benchmarks or “norms”

for measuring performance. Two types
of standards are commonly used.

Accountants, engineers, purchasing

Setting Standards
In recent years, TQM advocates have sought

to eliminate all defects and waste, rather than
continually build them into standards.
As a result allowances for waste and

spoilage that are built into standards
should be reduced over time.

Price and Quantity Standards
Price and and quantity standards are

determined separately for two reasons:
The purchasing manager is responsible for raw

material purchase prices and the production manager
is responsible for the quantity of raw material used.
The buying and using activities occur at different times.

Raw material purchases may be held in inventory for a
period of time before being used in production.

Activity-based Costing
and the Flexible Budget
It is unlikely that all

variable overhead will be
driven by a single activity.
Activity-based costing
can be used when multiple
activity bases drive
variable overhead costs.

Overhead Rates and Overhead Analysis
Recall that overhead costs are assigned to

products and services using a predetermined
overhead rate (POHR):
Assigned Overhead = POHR × Standard Activity
Overhead from the

flexible budget for the
denominator level of activity
POHR =
Denominator level of activity

Overhead Rates and Overhead Analysis
The predetermined overhead rate

can be broken down into fixed
and variable components.
The variable The fixed

component is useful component is useful
for preparing and analyzing for preparing and analyzing

Cost Flows in a Standard Cost System
• Inventories are recorded at standard cost.

• Variances are recorded as follows:
w Favorable variances are credits, representing
savings in production costs.
w Unfavorable variances are debits, representing
excess production costs.
• Standard cost variances are usually closed to
cost of goods sold.
w Favorable variances decrease cost of goods sold.
w Unfavorable variances increase cost of goods sold.
