Chapter 10:Standard Costing and Performance Measures for Today’s Manufacturing Environment • Standard Costing • Direct-material price and quantity variances • Material purchase price variances and material usage variances • Direct-labor rate and efficiency variances • Problems
Standard Costing and Variances Standard Costing: a predetermined cost for the production of goods or services, which serve as a benchmark against which to compare the actual cost. Cost Variance: difference between actual and standard cost. Favorable Variance: when the variance between standard and actual costs are good for the company. Unfavorable Variance: when the variance between standard and actual costs are not good for the company. Variance Analysis: 1- from a product costing perspective, to understand what is causing the variances. 2- from a managerial control and responsibility perspective to provide the proper incentive for managers
Standard Costing and Variances Standard Direct total amount of material normally required Material Quantity: to produce a finished product (including allowances for waste and inefficiency. Standard Direct total delivered cost, after subtracting any Material Price: purchase discounts. Standard Direct number of hours normally needed to Labor Quantity: manufacture one unit or product Standard Direct total hourly cost of compensation, including Labor Rate: fringe benefits.
Standard Costing and Variances: Definitions Variables SP = Standard price of input SQ = Standard quantity input units/outputs (e.g. four tires/car) SQA = Standard quantity allowed for acutal units produced (SQ*units produced) AQP = Actual quantity purchased AQU = Actual quantity used (produced) AP = Actual price Direct Material Price Variance = (AP-SP) * AQP Direct Material Quantity Variance = (AQU-SQA)*SP Direct Materials Budget Variance = Price variance - Quantity Variance (These formulas apply similarly for direct labor)
