Normal standards should beset at levels that are currentlyattainable with reasonable and efficient effort. Should we usenormal standardsor ideal standards? Establishing and RevisingStandard Costs Productionmanager ManagerialAccountant Engineer
I agree. Ideal standards, that are based on perfection, areunattainable and therefore discouraging to most employees. Establishing and RevisingStandard Costs HumanResourcesManager
A standard is the expected cost for one unit. • A budget is the expected cost for all units. Use of Standard Costs in Developing Budgets Are standards the same as budgets?
