Standard Costing

Standard Costing

A. Standard Cost--the anticipated cost of producing a unit of output
1. Recordkeeping--the standard cost is used by many companies to determine
inventory valuation and cost of goods sold for interim periods
2. Benchmark--the standard cost is used by many companies as a goal for
employees to strive to meet
3. Performance Evaluation--the standard cost is used by many companies to
evaluate employee performance and serve as an input into the planning
process

B. Variances--the difference between total actual costs incurred and the total
standard costs applied to the output produced during the period
1. Direct Materials
a. Computation--the difference between the actual direct materials
cost and the standard direct materials cost applied to production
can be divided into price and quantity components

unfavorable if the actual rate for direct labor hours is
greater than the standard rate for direct labor hours
2) Labor Efficiency Variance--the labor efficiency variance is
equal to the difference between the actual hours of direct
labor multiplied by the standard rate for direct labor hours
and the standard quantity of direct labor hours allowed for the
actual production multiplied by the standard rate for direct
labor hours
a) Favorable/Unfavorable--the labor efficiency variance is
labeled as favorable if the actual quantity of direct labor
hours is less than the standard quantity of direct labor
hours allowed for the actual production and as unfavorable
if the actual quantity of direct labor hours is greater
than the standard quantity of direct labor hours allowed
for the actual production
b. Recording--both the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency
variance are recorded when the direct labor cost is incurred
1) Work in Process--the work in process account is debited for the
standard quantity of direct labor hours allowed for the actual
production multiplied by the standard rate for direct labor
hours
2) Wages Payable--the wages payable account or the cash account is
credited for the actual quantity of direct labor hours
multiplied by the actual rate for direct labor hours
3) Labor Rate Variance--the labor rate variance account is
debited/credited for the unfavorable/favorable labor rate
variance
4) Labor Efficiency Variance--the labor efficiency variance
account is debited/credited for the unfavorable/favorable labor
labor efficiency variance
c. Illustration--one unit of output should be manufactured in 4 direct
labor hours; the standard direct labor cost is $30 per hour; normal
capacity is 100,000 units of output; during the year 95,000 units
were produced in 385,000 direct labor hours at a cost of $30.40 per
direct labor hour
