質問 English 答え English
effective - definition
学び始める
An operation is effective if it has attained or exceeded its goals.
efficient - definition
学び始める
An operation is efficient if it has not wasted resources
What will help in determining effectiveness?
学び始める
Comparing actual results with the master budget
The Flexible Budget
学び始める
May be prepared for any activity; Show revenues and expenses that should have occurred at the actual activity; Improve performance evaluation level in the relevant range; Reveal variances due to good cost control or lack of cost control
What we need to know to flex a budget for different activity?
学び始める
how costs behave with changes in activity levels – Total variable costs change in direct proportion to changes in activity – Total fixed costs remain unchanged within the relevant range
Sales volume variance may be a result of:
学び始める
1. The market price for the product has changed. The total demand for the product grows (declines) at a rate higher then expected then expected 2. The firm lost its market share to competitors 3. The firm failed to set a proper goal for the period
Standard costs are:
学び始める
Based on carefully predetermined amounts; Used for planning labor, material and overhead requirements; Benchmarks for measuring performance; The expected level of performance
standard cost variance
学び始める
A standard cost variance is the amount by which an actual cost differs from the standard cost; This variance is unfavorable because the actual cost exceeds the standard cost
types of standards
学び始める
An ideal standard, A currently attainable standard
ideal standard?
学び始める
demands perfect implementation and maximum efficiency in every aspect of the operation
A currently attainable standard?
学び始める
sets the performance criterion at a level that person with proper training and experience can attain most of the time without having to exert extraordinary effort
Non-financial Measures
学び始める
Friendly service; On-time delivery; Quality; Cleanliness; Value
sources of standards
学び始める
Activity analysis; Historical data; Sources of Standards; Benchmarking; Market expectation; Strategic decisions
Standard-Setting Procedures
学び始める
An authoritative standard; A participative standard
An authoritative standard
学び始める
is determined solely or primarily by management
A participative standard
学び始める
calls for active participation throughout the standard-setting process by employees affected by the standard
What are direct material standards?
学び始める
Price standards, usage standards.
What are direct labor standards?
学び始める
Rate standards, efficiency standards
What is standard cost sheet?
学び始める
A standard cost sheet specifies the standard costs (including both price and quantity) for all manufacturing cost elements in the production of one unit of elements in the production of one unit of a product
What is selling price variance?
学び始める
is the difference between the total sales revenues received and the total sales revenues in the flexible budget for the units sold during the period budget for the units sold during the period
How do we divide standard cost variances?
学び始める
On price variance - difference between the actual price and the standard price; And efficiency variance - the difference between the actual quality and standard quality
Causes of DM price variances?
学び始める
– Purchase of materials of different grade; Quantity discounts; Freight/delivery expediting cost (“rush orders”)
Causes of DM quantity variances
学び始める
– Purchase of non-standard quality materials; Poorly trained or poorly supervised workers; Poorly maintained machinery (not calibrated properly)
causes of DL rate variances?
学び始める
Labor substitution; Out-of-date standards (e.g., new labor contract)
Causes of DL efficiency variances
学び始める
Poorly trained workers; Poor quality raw materials used in production; Poorly maintained equipment; Poor supervision of workers; Out-of-date standards
What is total operating income variance?
学び始める
The difference between actual operating income and master budgeted operating income
Through the introduction of a flexible budget based on actual output, the total operating income variance is broken down into:
学び始める
A total flexible-budget variance, and; A sales-volume variance = budgeted cm/unit x (actual – budgeted) sales in units
What are the Standard Costs for Factory Overhead?
学び始める
variable overhead like energy costs, indirect materials, indirect labor; and fixed overhead like factory managers salaries, plant and equipment depreciation
Establishing the Standard Cost for Variable Factory Overhead
学び始める
Determine the behavioral patterns of variable factory overhead costs; Select one or more appropriate activity measures; Choose the levels of operation and estimate the Choose the levels of operation and estimate the total variable factory overhead and the total variable factory overhead; Compute the standard variable factory overhead Compute the standard variable factory overhead rate
Determining a Standard Variable Factory Overhead Rate
学び始める
Decide the level of operation; Determine total variable factory overhead for the operation; Select an activity base for variable factory overhead and determine the amount for the operation; Divide the amount in 2 by the amount in 3 to arrive at the standard variable overhead rate.
What is the total variance?
学び始める
Spending variance and efficiency variance
Standards overhead rate is?
学び始める
The amount that should have been paid for the resources acquired.
Standard quantity is?
学び始める
The quantity allowed for the actual good output.
What is spending variance?
学び始める
Results form paying more or less than expected for overhead items such as supplies and utilities.
What is efficiency variance
学び始める
A function of the selected activity measure. It does not reflect overhead control.
Interpretation of (variable) spending variance?
学び始める
Results from spending more or less than expected for overhead items such as supplies and uilities.
Interpretation of (variable) efficiency variance?
学び始める
Reflects efficiency or inefficiency in the use of the selected activity meaasure. Does not reflect overhead control
Interpretation of fixed spending variance?
学び始める
Results from paying more or less than expected for overhead items
Interpretation of fixed volume variance
学び始める
Results from the inability to operate at the activity budgeted for the period.
Interpretation of fixed spending variance
学び始める
Results form spending more or less than expected for individual fixed overhead items. That is, spending on individual fixed overhead items was different than planned.
Interpretation of production volume variance
学び始める
Results from operating at the level other than the denominator volume level. Arises because of the product-costing purpose of fixed overhead. Not of direct interest for control purposes
Causes of Fixed Overhead Variances
学び始める
• Spending (Budget) Variance: – Ineffective budget procedures – Inadequate control of costs Misclassification of cost items – Misclassification of cost items • Production Volume Variance: – Management decisions – Unexpected changes in market demand – Unforeseen problems in manufacturing operations
