Chapter 10 Standard Costs
Standard Costs • Price standards • Direct materials • Direct labor • Overhead • Quantity standards • Direct materials • Direct labor • Overhead • Management by exception • Ideal vs. practical standards
Setting Standards • Price/rate standards • Direct materials • Price of material • Freight/shipping • Discounts • Storage/handling • Direct labor • Labor rate per hour • Overtime • Benefits • Taxes • Paid time off
Setting Standards • Quantity/hours standards • Direct materials • Amount/Quantity used • Waste and spoilage • Rejects • Direct labor • Labor hours • Breaks • Downtime • Clean up • Rejects
Materials • Materials price variance AQ x AP – AQ x SP or AQ(AP – SP) • Materials quantity variance AQ x SP – SQ x SP or SP(AQ – SQ)
Labor • Labor rate variance AH x AR – AH x SR or AH(AR – SR) • Labor efficiency/hour variance AH x SR – SH x SR or SR(AH – SH)
Variable Overhead • Variable overhead spending/rate variance AH x AR – AH x SR or AH(AR – SR) • Variable overhead efficiency/hour variance AH x SR – SH x SR or SR(AH – SH)
Coach Keen Says…. • Review pages 424-440 • Read pages 441-450 • Read Appendix 10A, pages 458-460 • Attempt homework 10-7, 10-9, 10-10 Problem 10-13, page 466
Coach Keen Says… • Work the review problems at the end of each chapter • Study for test by reviewing the chapters, homework, handouts, articles on WebCT, quizzes and problems done in class • Use the tutors • The workbook/study guide is available at the reserve desk at Milner Library • Chat on Tuesday night 9-11PM through WebCT • Extended office hours: Monday: 9:00-10:00 & 11:00-12:00 & 1:00-3:00 Tuesday 11:30-3:00 • E-mail questions • Review on Monday • Rest Tuesday night
Appendix 10A • Journal entries • Materials price variance journal entry • Materials quantity variance journal entry • Labor efficiency and rate variance journal entry
Problems with Standards • Variances are often reported too late to be useful. • Standards can undermine morale. • Labor efficiency standards encourage high output. This may lead to excessive work in process inventory. • A favorable quantity variance may be worse than an unfavorable quantity variance. • Quality may suffer if undue emphasis is placed on just meeting the standards. • Just meeting standards may not be sufficient; continual improvement is often necessary.
