"Wonderful! Not only did our salespeople do a good job in meeting the sales budget this year, but our production people did a good job in controlling costs as well," said Kim Clark, president of Martell Company. "Our 18,300 overall manufacturing cost variance is only 1.2 % of the 1,536,000 standard cost of products made during the year. That's well within the 3% parameter set by management for acceptable variances. It looks like everyone will be in line for a bonus this year."
The company produces and sells a single product. The standard cost card for the product follows:

The following additional information is available for the year just completed:

What is Standard Cost?

Rather than assigning the real costs of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead to a product, a few manufacturers assign the expected or standard costs. which means a manufacturer's inventories and price of goods sold will begin with amounts that reflect the standard costs, not the actual costs, of a product. on account that a manufacturer must pay its suppliers and employees the actual costs, there are almost always differences between the actual costs and the standard costs, and the differences are stated as variances.
