In manufacturing companies, standards are classified ingo two (2! “ategonie + QUANTITY Standard ~ indicates the quantity of raw materials or tabar time required to produce @ unit of product. This 1s normally expressed per unit of output (€.9., 3 pieces per unit) + COST Standard - indicates what the vost of the quantity standard should be. This 1s normally expressed per unit of mput (e.9., ® 2.00 per piace) STANDARD COSTS — systematically pre-determined costs established by Management to be used as a basis for companson with actual cost.

Standard Factory Overhead (SFOH) = Standard ours x Standard FOK Rate. Under standard costing, SFOH 's hkewise referred to as tne Applied Factory Overead. 2. IF AFOH is more than SFOH (appii2d), then factory ovevhead 1s said to be under-applied, hence, under: application indicates an unfavorable variance, wnne over application indicates a favorable variance 3, The term capacity variance 1s also usec! to rican the volume variance 4. Budget Variance = Actual Cost - Buriaeted Cost = Actual FCH ~ Budgeted FOH (8FOH) + Under 2-way analysis where BASH 1s deducted trem AFOH, budget variance = controllable variance 2 Under 3-Way analysis where 88AH is detucted fram AFOM, budget variance = spending variance 5. Volume variance is actually the fixed voume variance, there is no such thing as a variable volume or vanable capacity variance 6. Under the 3-way approach, the FOH Efficiency Variance is actually the Variable Efficiency Variance. Other than ‘BAAH ~ BASH, "vanable overtiead efficiency variance may also be computed based on Change in hours x variabie FOH rate = (&H - SH) VR 7. FOH variances may ciassified into™ + Variable FOH Vanances = Vanable Spending Variance + (variable) Efficiency Variance + Fixed FOH Variances ~ Fixed Spending Variance + (fixed) Volume Variance 8. Alternatively, another FOH varicnce analysis may iciude the following variances (NOTE: these Variances aré not included ini the boara exam syllabus for Management Advisory Services) + IDLE capacity variance: BAAH ~ (AH x $8) + TOTAL efficiency variance: 4 Hx SR 2 FIXED efficiency (effectiveness) variance’ & H x FR (where: FR is the fixed FOH Rate) 9. The Manufacturing Efficiency Variance mcorsorates the effect of both FOH Efficiency Vanance and Labor Efficiency Variance. In some cases, the matenai quantity variance may also be included. 10. DM Variance + DL Variance + FOH Variance = Production or Manufacturing Cost Variance USES OF STANDARD COSTS STANDARD COSTING PROCEDURES. Cost control 1.
