Standard costs are useful tools for management because they
are based on realistic estimates of operating costs. Managers use them to develop budgets, to control costs, and to prepare
reports. Because of their usefulness in comparing planned and
actual costs, standard costs have usually been most closely associated with the performance evaluation of cost centers. In this
chapter, we describe how standard costs are computed and how
managers use the variances between standard and actual costs to
evaluate performance and control costs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
LO1 Define standard costs, explain how standard costs are
developed, and compute a standard unit cost. (pp. 1138–1142)
LO2 Prepare a flexible budget, and describe how managers use
variance analysis to control costs. (pp. 1142–1147)
LO3 Compute and analyze direct materials variances. (pp. 1147–1150)
LO4 Compute and analyze direct labor variances. (pp. 1150–1153)
LO5 Compute and analyze overhead variances. (pp. 1154–1161)
LO6 Explain how variances are used to evaluate managers’
performance.
