Standard Costing

Description
It explains what is standard costing, what are the steps involved in standard costing,

STANDARD COSTING
Dr. Kinnarry Thakkar

Steps in Standard costing
Set standard cost ? Study the actual cost ? Compare the actual with the standard cost Which gives variances Analyse the variances Fix responsibilities Take suitable action and create effective control system .

Analysis of variances
Material
Labour Overheads

cost = price + usage

cost
= Rate + efficiency

Variable Overhead variances

Fixed Overhead variances

Price+ Usage =Cost

Rate+ Efficiency =Cost

A General Model of Variance Analysis (Material)
Actual Quantity × Actual Price Actual Quantity × Standard Price Standard Quantity × Standard Price

Price Variance
AQ(SP - AP) AQ = Actual Quantity AP = Actual Price

Usage Variance
SP(SQ - AQ) SP = Standard Price SQ = Standard Quantity

Standard Cost Variances
Standard Cost Variances

Price Variance

Efficiency Variance

The difference between the actual price and the standard price

The difference between the actual quantity and the standard quantity

Standard Cost Variance
This variance is unfavorable because the actual cost exceeds the standard cost.

Standard Product Cost A standard cost variance is the amount by which an actual cost differs from the standard cost.

Direct Labour Standards
Rate Standards Efficiency Standards

Use wage surveys and labor contracts.

Use time and motion studies for each labour operation.

Direct Labour Standard
The standard labour cost for one unit of product is:
standard wage rate for one hour

×

standard number of labour hours for one unit of product

A General Model of Variance Analysis
Actual Hours × Actual Rate Actual Hours × Standard Rate Standard Hours × Standard Rate

Rate Variance
AH(SR - AR) AH = Actual Hours AR = Actual Rate

Efficiency Variance
SR(SH - AH) SH = Standard Hours SR = Standard Rate

Overheads Variances
Standard Hours for actual output(SH)= Budgeted Hours X Actual Output Budgeted Output Standard Overheads (SO) = SH X SR Recovered Overheads (RO) = AH X SR Budgeted Overheads (BO) = BH X SR Actual Overheads (AO) =AH X AR
