Standard Cost Accounting • Definition: A system in which manufacturing costs are budgeted at the start of a year and then compared with actual costs during the year. • The analysis of variances from standard costs allows management to constantly monitor the efficiency of the production process. Chapter 27
Value of Budgeting • Any type of organization—a business, a school, a hospital, or a governmental unit—can benefit from budgeting. • Budgeting allows the organization to set clear financial goals. • Budgeting also provides a basis for judging the financial performance of the organization.

Flexible Budget • The flexible budget provides estimates for several levels of production. • Example: • A flexible budget might include estimates for 8,000 units, 9,000 units, and 10,000 units. Chapter 27
Variable and Fixed Costs • To prepare a flexible budget, it is necessary to classify costs as variable or fixed. Chapter 27
Variable Cost • Definition: Cost that changes in response to a change in the level of production. • Examples: • direct materials and direct labor • Variable costs vary in total with changes in production level, but they remain constant on a per-unit basis. Chapter 27
Variable CostExample • The Wilson Company has a cost of $52 per unit for direct materials. • If the firm produces 4,000 units, the total cost of direct materials is $208,000 ($52 4,000). • If the firm produces 5,000 units, the total cost of direct materials is $260,000 ($52 5,000). Chapter 27
Fixed Cost • Definition: Cost that does not change if the level of production changes. • Example: • Rent and depreciation • Fixed costs remain constant in total no matter what the production level, but they vary on a per-unit basis. Chapter 27
Fixed CostExample • The Wilson Company has total fixed factory overhead of $120,000. • If the firm produces 4,000 units, the per-unit cost of fixed factory overhead is $30 ($120,000 4,000). • If the firm produces 5,000 units, the per-unit cost of fixed factory overhead is $24 ($120,000 5,000). Chapter 27
Flexible Budget for Wilson CompanyCost of Goods Manufactured20X1 • 4,000 5,000 • Units Units • Direct materials: $52 per unit $208,000 $260,000 • Direct labor: $64 per unit 256,000 320,000 • Variable overhead: $40 per unit 160,000 200,000 • Fixed overhead 120,000 120,000 • Total cost $744,000 $900,000 • Per-unit cost $186.00 $180.00 Chapter 27
Standard Cost Accounting • Can be used with either a job order system or a process system. • Budgeted (standard) costs are assigned to all products in advance. • When the products are manufactured, the actual and standard costs are compared. Chapter 27
Favorable and Unfavorable Variances • Any difference between an actual cost and a budgeted (standard) cost is called a variance. • All variances must be analyzed. • If an actual cost exceeds a standard cost, the difference is an unfavorable variance. • If an actual cost is less than a standard cost, the difference is a favorable variance. Chapter 27
Variance Analysis • Suppose the Wilson Company’s standard for direct materials is one set of materials at $52 for each unit produced. • In 20X1, the firm produced 5,000 units and used 5,300 sets of materials at a price of $50 per set. Chapter 27
Variance Analysis • The quantity of the materials used was 300 sets above the standard. • The price of the materials used was $2 per unit below the standard. Chapter 27
