David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas 1,097 solutions In standard costing we use standard costs for all items of production (Materials, labour and overhead) but in normal costing we use actual figures for materials and labour and we use standard rate for overhead. Normal costing uses actual cost for materials, labour and standard cost for overheads whereas standard costing uses entirely predetermined standard costs for all aspects of a product. Normal costing is acceptable by GAAP & IFRS to derive product cost Standard costing is budgeted costing. Normal costing is actual costing. Normal costing is used to value manufactured products with the actual materials costs, the actual direct labor costs, and manufacturing overhead based on a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate. These three costs are referred to as product costs and are used for the cost of goods sold and for inventory valuation. If there is a difference between1) the overhead costs assigned or applied to products, and 2) the overhead costs actually incurred, the difference is referred to as a variance. If the amount of the variance is not significant, it will usually be assigned to the cost of goods sold. If the variance is significant, it should be prorated to the cost of goods sold and to the work in process and finished goods inventories. Standard costing values its manufactured products with a predetermined materials cost, a predetermined direct labor cost, and a predetermined manufacturing overhead cost. These standard costs will be used for valuing the manufacturer's cost of goods sold and inventories. If the actual costs vary only slightly from the standard costs, the resulting variances will be assigned to the cost of goods sold. If the variances are significant, they should be prorated to the cost of goods sold and to the inventories. by Md. Moshiur Rahman Sumon , Assistant General Manager( Corporate Finance & Head of Internal
Audit) , Progressive Life Insurance Company Limited In the concept of Cost Accounting , I mean normal costing is actual cost for usage of various materials, labor or any other overhead which always differs from standard cost less or more or even equal . On the other hand standard costing may be defined by a costing chart which is always a predetermined and expected cost part of budgeted element Popular SearchesNormal costing for manufactured products consists of following: The three product costs are used for calculating the cost of goods sold and the cost of the various inventories. If there is a difference between the total amount of overhead costs applied to the products and the total amount of actual overhead costs incurred, the difference is referred to as a variance. If
the amount of the variance is not significant, it will usually be assigned to the cost of goods sold. If the variance is significant, it should be prorated to the cost of goods sold, the work-in-process inventory, and the finished goods inventory based on their amounts of applied overhead. Standard
costing for manufactured products consists of the following: These standard costs are used to calculate the manufacturer's cost of goods sold and inventories. If the actual costs vary only slightly from the standard
costs, the resulting variances will be assigned to the cost of goods sold. If the variances are significant, they should be prorated to the cost of goods sold and to various inventories based on their amounts of the standard costs. |
