Standards: Standards are benchmarks or norms for measuring performance. Standards relate to the quantity and costs of inputs used in manufacturing goods or providing services. Price Standards specify how much should be paid for each unit of the input. Quantity Standards specify how much of an input such as raw material should be used to make a product or provide service. Standard Costing: Standard costing allows companies to compare the actual results to expected or standard results and to analyze the differences or variances between them. If there is a significant variance between the standard and actual results, managers may investigate the discrepancy to find the underlying cause of the variance. Standard costs are used to value raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, finished goods inventory and cost of goods sold. All Variances: Variances are computed for each manufacturing cost: direct material, direct labor, variable overhead and fixed overhead. The total variance for each manufacturing cost is the difference between the actual costs incurred and the flexible budget costs (the standard costs that should have been incurred for the actual level of production). o Actual cost incurred is the actual price x the actual quantity for the good unit produced. o The flexible budget amount is the standard price x standard quantity allowed. o Standard quantity allowed is the good units produced x standard quantity per unit. The total variance is divided into price and quantity variances for each manufacturing cost. All variances are favorable or unfavorable. o Favorable if actual price or quantity is less than the standard price or quantity. o Unfavorable if actual price or quantity is greater than the standard price or quantity.

Example #1: The May 2009 income statement for Trajan Inc. is shown below: Units sold Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Operating income Required: a) Determine what the operating income should have been for the actual units sold. b) Reconcile the difference between static budget and actual operating income. Solution #1: Revenue and Cost Formula Units sold Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Operating income $30 $18 $700 in total Actual 110 $3,200 $1,920 $1,280 $680 $600 Flexible Budget 110 $3,300 1,980 1,320 700 $620 Static Budget 100 $3,000 $1,800 $1,200 $700 $500 Actual 110 $3,200 $1,920 $1,280 $680 $600 Static Budget 100 $3,000 $1,800 $1,200 $700 $500
Step 1: Revenue and cost formula = static budget / units sold for revenue and variable expenses and total static budget fixed costs Step 2: Create flexible budget based on actual units sold and the revenue and cost formula. Trajan should have had an operating income of $620. The static budget and actual operating income may be reconciled as follows: Static budget income + Increase due to 10 additional units sold = Flexible budget income - Decrease due to reductions in actual selling price per unit = Actual income

Overhead Variances
Overhead variances have a somewhat different meaning than direct materials and direct labor variances for two reasons: o overhead is an indirect cost whereas materials and labor are direct costs o overhead includes both variable and fixed costs For overhead variance analysis the standard or pre-determined overhead rate based on total overhead costs is divided into variable and fixed rates, which are calculated by dividing budgeted variable or budgeted fixed overhead by the budgeted allocation base (now referred to as the denominator activity). The price variances (rate, or spending, or budget) may result from many factors such as a difference in price for the overhead items purchased and a difference in the quantity of overhead items purchased. In other words, they contain the same information as the price and quantity variances for direct materials and direct labor. The quantity variances (efficiency and volume) do not measure how efficiently variable overhead was used or incurred or the difference between how much fixed overhead was incurred vs. how much fixed overhead should have been incurred. The quantity variances (efficiency and volume) measure the variance in the actual vs. allowed denominator activity (variable overhead) or the difference between

the budgeted and allowed denominator activity (fixed overhead) valued at the variable or fixed standard (pre-determined) overhead rate.

The company estimates that 30% of its overhead is variable and the remainder is fixed. What would be the total overhead costs according to the flexible budget if 12,000 units were produced and sold? $96,000 $100,000 $106,000 $116,000 Which of the following statements is false? A flexible budget is used for control purpose and a static budget is used for planning purposes. A flexible budget is prepared at the end of the period and a static budget is prepared at the beginning of the period. A flexible budget is not useful for controlling variable costs. A static budget provides budgeted estimates for one level of activity. A flexible budget Is prepared when management cannot agree on objectives for the company. Projects budget data for various levels of activity. Is only useful in controlling fixed costs. Cannot be used for evaluation purposes because budgeted data are adjusted to reflect actual results. What budgeted amounts appear on the flexible budget? Original budgeted amounts at the static budget activity level Actual costs for the budgeted activity level Budgeted amounts for the actual activity level achieved Actual costs for the estimated activity level
