Standard Costing and Variance Analysis

Standard and Standard Cost
Standard is a precise measure of what should occur if the performance is efficient.
For example a certain number of products (say 10) in one hour by a shop floor worker is a standard or certain marks (absolute or percentage) to obtain a certain grade say A.
A worker and student is said to be efficient if they achieve ( 8 and A) the given conditions.
Standards are set for repetitive tasks, that is, for work which is repeated again and again. It can not be for the task which are not repetitive or performed regularly or continuously.

Standard and Budget
Scope of budget is as a whole activity or entire operation i.e. Rs 5000 for producing 1000 units, on the other hand, standard are on unit basis, say Rs 5 per unit.
Standards are prepared by Management Account in consultation with other people, while budget are usually prepared by Budget committee.
Budgets are used for planning & coordination purposes, whereas standards are primarily used as control.

Analysis of Historical Data
1-7
One Indicator of future costs is historical cost data.
In a mature production process, where the firm has a lot of production experience, historical costs can provide a good basis for predicting future costs.
Cost on the basis of behavior is used to analyze and making predictions.
These predictions need to be adjusted to reflect movements in price levels or technological changes in the production process

Task Analysis
1-8
Another method for setting standards is task analysis, which is the analysis of a production process to determine what it should cost to produce a product or service.
The emphasis shifts from what the product did cost in the past to what it should cost in the future.
An example of task analysis is a time-and-motion study conducted to determine how long each step performed by direct laborers should require.

Participation in Setting Standards
Accountants, engineers, personnel administrators, and production managers combine efforts to set standards
based on experience and expectations.

Perfection versus Practical Standards: A Behavioral Issue
1-10
Should we usepractical standards
or perfection standards?
Practical standardsshould be set at levels
that are currentlyattainable with reasonable andefficient effort.
![Page 11: Standrad costing](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54794e43b4af9fef158b47b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Perfection Standard
A perfection (or ideal) standard is one that can be attained only under nearly perfect operating conditions.
Such standard assume peak efficiency, the lowest possible input prices, the best quality material obtainable and no disruptions in the production due to such causes as machine breakdowns or power failures.
Some managers feel that such standard motivate employees to achieve the lowest cost possible.
They claim that since the standard is theoretically attainable, employees will have an incentive to come as close as possible to achieving it.

![Page 12: Standrad costing](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54794e43b4af9fef158b47b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Practical Standard
Standard that are as tight as practical, but still are expected to be attained, are called practical or attainable standard.
Such standard assume a production process that is as efficient as practical under normal operating conditions.
Practical standards allow for such occurrences as occasional machine breakdowns and normal amounts of raw-material waste.
Attaining a practical standard keeps employees on their toes, without demanding miracles.
Most behavioral theorist believe that such standard encourage more positive and productive employee attitude than do perfection standard.

Perfection versus Practical Standards: A Behavioral Issue
1-13
I agree. Perfection standards are
unattainable and therefore discouraging
to most employees.

Use of Standards by Service Organizations
Standard cost analysis may be used in any organization with repetitive tasks.
A relationship between tasks and output measures must be established.
