STANDARD COSTING SYSTEM The management evaluates the performance of a company by comparing it with some predetermined measures
Therefore, it can be used as a process of measuring and correcting actual performance to ensure that the plans are properly set and implemented

PROCEDURES OF STANDARD COSTING SYSTEM Set the predetermined standards for sales margin and production costs
Collect the information about the actual performance
Compare the actual performance with the standards to arrive at the variance
Analyze the variances and ascertaining the causes of variance
Take corrective action to avoid adverse variance
Adjust the budget in order to make the standards more realistic

FUNCTIONS OF STANDARD COSTING SYSTEM Valuation Assigning the standard cost to the actual output
Planning Use the current standards to estimate future sales volume and
future costs
Controlling Evaluating performance by determining how efficiently the current
operations are being carried out

VARIANCE ANALYSIS
A variance is the difference between the standards and the actual performance
When the actual results are better than the expected results, there will be a favourable variance (F)
If the actual results are worse than the expected results, there will be an adverse variance (A)

COST VARIANCE

•Cost variance = Price variance + Quantity varianceCost variance is the difference between the standard cost and the Actual cost
•Price variance = (standard price – actual price)*Actual quantity A price variance reflects the extent of the profit change resulting from the change in activity level
•Quantity variance = (standard quantity – actual quantity)* standard cost
A quantity variance reflects the extent of the profit change resulting from the change in activity level

FIXED OVERHEAD VARIANCE
Fixed overheads variance
= Fixed overheads absorbed – Actual fixed overheads incurred
= ($1*3*800) - $2600
= $200 A
Fixed overheads expenditure variance
= Budgeted fixed overheads – Budgeted overheads absorbed
= $3000 - $2600
= $400 F
Fixed overheads volume variance
= Absorbed fixed overheads – Budgeted overheads absorbed
= ($1*3*800) - $3000
= $600 A55

FO VARIANCE IN MARGINAL AND ABSORPTION COSTING In marginal costing: Fixed overheads are charged as period costs instead of charging to
product in marginal costing. It is assumed that the fixed overheads remain unchanged with the
change in the level of activity. Single fixed overhead expenditure variance will be used

In absorption costing Fixed overheads are charged to the products and included in the
valuation of closing stock. Total fixed overheads variance is divided into fixed overheads price
variance and fixed overheads volume variance

PROFIT RECONCILIATION STATEMENT Profit reconciliation statement is used to sum up all variances
It can help the top management to explain the major reasons for the difference between budgeted and actual profits
The sales margin variance and fixed overheads variance are different between absorption and marginal costing system

REASONS FOR VARIANCES Material price variance Price changes in market conditions Change in the efficiency of purchasing dept. to obtain good terms
from suppliers Purchase of different grades or wrong types of materials

REASONS FOR VARIANCES Materials usage variance More effective use of materials/ wastage arising from the efficient
production process Purchase of different grade or wrong types of materials Wastage by the staff Change in production methods

REASONS FOR VARIANCES Labour rate variance Non-controllable market changes in the basic wage rate Use of higher/lower grade of workers Unexpected overtime allowance paid

Labour efficiency variance Purchase of different grade or wrong types of materials Breakdown of machinery High/low labour turnover Changes in production method Introduction of new machinery Assignment wrong type of worker to work Adequacy of supervision Changes in working condition Change in motivation methods

Variable overheads expenditure variance It may be caused by the non-controllable change in the price level of indirect wages or utility rates since the predetermined rate is set
It is meaningless to interpret this kind of variance on its own. One should look various components of the fixed overheads

direct labour hours worked

Fixed overheads expenditure It is meaningless to interpret this kind of variance on its own. It may be caused by the change in the price levels of rent, rates
and other fixed expenses

Fixed overhead volume variance When the level of activity is higher than the budgeted level, there is
a favourable variance
