Setting Standard Costs
I agree. Ideal standards,
based on perfection,
are unattainable and
discourage most
employees.
Note
The argument that ideal standards are
discouraging has been persuasive for many
years. So “normal” defects and waste were
built into the standards.
In recent years, TQM and other initiatives
have sought to eliminate all defects and
waste.

Standards vs. Budgets
Standard Cost Variances
A standard cost variance is the amount by which
an actual cost differs from the standard cost.
Are standards the
same as budgets?
A budget is set for
total costs.
A standard is a per
unit cost.
Standards are often
used when
preparing budgets.

I see that there
is an unfavorable
variance.

variances
important to me?
First, they point to causes of
problems and directions
for improvement.
