Standard costing
2
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
3
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
4
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
5
Motivation– Notify the staff of the management’s expectations
Setting of selling price
6
Variance
7
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
12
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
13
Three types of cost variance
Material cost variance Labour cost variance Variable overheads variance
14
Material and labour variance
15
Material cost variance
Material price variance
= (standard price – actual price)*actual quantity
Material usage variance
= (Standard quantity – actual quantity)* standard price
= (Standard quantity for actual production – actual quantity production) * standard price
16
Labour cost variance
Labour rate variance
= (standard price – actual price)*actual quantity
Labour efficiency variance= (standard quantity – actual quantity)*standard price
= Standard quantity for actual production – actual quantity used) * standard price
17
Example

ABC Ltd. makes and sells a single product. The company uses a Standard marginal costing system. It plans to produce and sell 1000 units in May 2005. A budget statement is produced as follow:
Budgeted income statement for the month ended 31 May 2005$ $
Sales ($50*1000) 50000Less: Variable cost of goods sold
Direct materials ($3*4000) 12000Direct labour ($5*3000) 15000Variable overheads ($2*3000) 6000 33000

The actual sales and production is 800 units. The actual income statement is shown as follows:

Material cost variance
Material price variance
= (standard price – actual price)*actual quantity
= ($3 - $3.2)*2400
= $480 (A) Material usage variance
= (Standard quantity – actual quantity)* standard price
= (Standard quantity for actual production – actual quantity production) * standard price
= (4*800 – 2400)*$3
= $2400 (F)4000 units1000 units
21
Material cost variance

22
Labour cost variance
Labour rate variance
= (standard price – actual price)*actual quantity
= ($5 - $6)*3200
= $3200 (A)
Labour efficiency variance= (standard quantity – actual quantity)*standard price
= Standard quantity for actual production – actual quantity used) * standard price
= (3* 800 – 3200)*$5
= $4000 (A)3000 units1000 units

26
Variable overheads variance
Variable overheads variance is the difference between the standard variable overheads absorbed into the actual output and the actual overheads incurred
27

Absorbed VO(SP* standardhours for actualoutput
VO expenditure variance/VO spending variance
VO efficiency variance
Total VO variance(under-/over- absorbed)
28
Calculation on overhead absorbed
Step 1
Step 2
POAR = Budgeted overheads
Budgeted activity level in standard hours
Overhead absorbed = POAR * Standard hours for actual number of units produced
29
Variable overheads variance
Variable overheads variance
= variable overheads absorbed – actual variable overheads incurred
Variable overheads expenditure variance
= standard variable overheads for actual hours worked – Actual variable overheads incurred
Variable overheads efficiency variance
= Standard variable overheads for standard hours of output – Actual variable overhead absorbed
= (standard hours for actual output – Actual hours worked)* standard price

33
POAR = Budgeted overheads
Budgeted activity level in standard hours
Overhead absorbed = POAR * Standard hours for actual number of units produced
= $2 *3 hr per unit * 800 units
= $6000 3000
= $2
Standard hr per unit = 3000 hr /1000 units
34
Variable overheads variance
Variable overheads variance
= variable overheads absorbed – actual variable overheads incurred
= $4800 - $5500
= $700 (A) Variable overheads expenditure variance
= standard variable overheads for actual hours worked – Actual variable overheads incurred
= ($2* 3200 hr) - $5500
= $900 (F)
35
Variable overheads efficiency variance
= Standard variable overheads for standard hours of output – Actual variable overhead absorbed
= (standard hours for actual output – Actual hours worked)* standard price
= (3 hr *800 units – 4 hr *800 units)*$2
= $1600 (A) Actual hour per unit = $3200 hr/800 units

Fixed overheads volume variance= Absorbed fixed overheads – Budgeted overheads absorbed= ($1*3*800) - $3000= $600 A
56
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
57
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
65
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
66
Labour rate variance– Non-controllable market changes in the basic wage
rate– Use of higher/lower grade of workers– Unexpected overtime allowance paid
Reasons for variances
67
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
Reasons for variances
68
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
Reasons for variances
69
Variable overheads efficiency variance– Both the variable overheads and direct labour cost
vary with the direct labour hours worked
Reasons for variances
70
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
Reasons for variances
71
Fixed overhead volume variance– When the level of activity is higher than the
budgeted level, there is a favourable variance
Reasons for variances
72
Sales margin price variance– Change in the pricing strategies of the company– Response to the change of pricing policies of its
competitors– Higher profit margin with growing demand for the
product– Lower profit margin for simulating sales
Reasons for variances
73
Sales margin volume variance– Change in prices and demand– Change in the market share of its competitiors
Reasons for variances
