Chapter 27
Budgeting and Standard Cost Accounting
Chapter 27 2
Budgets
Definition: A financial plan for the future.
Budgets involve all financial areas of business.
It is just as important to plan future revenues as it is to plan future costs and expenses.
Similarly, it is essential to plan both cash receipts and cash payments.
Chapter 27 3
Standard Cost Accounting
Definition: A system in which manufacturing costs are budgeted at the start of a year and then compared with actual costs during the year.
The analysis of variances from standard costs allows management to constantly monitor the efficiency of the production process.
Chapter 27 4
Value of Budgeting
Any type of organization—a business, a school, a hospital, or a governmental unit—can benefit from budgeting.
Budgeting allows the organization to set clear financial goals.
Budgeting also provides a basis for judging the financial performance of the organization.
Chapter 27 5
Budgets
The types of budgets used by businesses vary somewhat according to the nature of their operations. Common types of budgets are:Budgets for sales, purchases, operating
expenses, and cost of goods sold.Budgets for cash and capital expenditures.Budgets for production, materials, labor,
overhead, and cost of goods manufactured.
Chapter 27 6
Budget Period
Businesses usually budget for the fiscal year.
However, a year’s budget is often broken down into quarterly or monthly segments.
This practice makes it possible for management to monitor progress during the year and take corrective action if there are any problems in meeting goals.
Chapter 27 7
Income Statement Budgets
Many businesses prepare a series of budgets involving revenue, costs, and expenses.
These individual budgets allow the firm to produce a budgeted income statement for the next fiscal year.
Chapter 27 8
Sales Budget
The first of the income statement budgets to be prepared.
An estimate of the total dollar amount of the sales revenue for the next fiscal year.
To prepare a sales budget, management must forecast the number of units of each product that will be sold and the selling price.

Chapter 27 39
Flexible Budget
Sometimes changes in the level of production occur after the budget period begins.
To deal with this situation in advance, many firms prepare a flexible budget.
Chapter 27 40
Flexible Budget
The flexible budget provides estimates for several levels of production.
Example: A flexible budget might include estimates
for 8,000 units, 9,000 units, and 10,000 units.
Chapter 27 41
Variable and Fixed Costs
To prepare a flexible budget, it is necessary to classify costs as variable or fixed.
Chapter 27 42
Variable Cost
Definition: Cost that changes in response to a change in the level of production.
Examples: direct materials and direct labor
Variable costs vary in total with changes in production level, but they remain constant on a per-unit basis.
Chapter 27 43
Variable CostExample
The Wilson Company has a cost of $52 per unit for direct materials.
If the firm produces 4,000 units, the total cost of direct materials is $208,000 ($52 4,000).
If the firm produces 5,000 units, the total cost of direct materials is $260,000 ($52 5,000).
Chapter 27 44
Fixed Cost
Definition: Cost that does not change if the level of production changes.
Example: Rent and depreciation
Fixed costs remain constant in total no matter what the production level, but they vary on a per-unit basis.
Chapter 27 45
Fixed CostExample
The Wilson Company has total fixed factory overhead of $120,000.
If the firm produces 4,000 units, the per-unit cost of fixed factory overhead is $30 ($120,000 4,000).
If the firm produces 5,000 units, the per-unit cost of fixed factory overhead is $24 ($120,000 5,000).

Chapter 27 47
Standard Cost Accounting
Can be used with either a job order system or a process system.
Budgeted (standard) costs are assigned to all products in advance.
When the products are manufactured, the actual and standard costs are compared.
Chapter 27 48
Favorable and Unfavorable Variances
Any difference between an actual cost and a budgeted (standard) cost is called a variance.
All variances must be analyzed.If an actual cost exceeds a standard cost,
the difference is an unfavorable variance.If an actual cost is less than a standard
cost, the difference is a favorable variance.
Chapter 27 49
Variance Analysis
Suppose the Wilson Company’s standard for direct materials is one set of materials at $52 for each unit produced.
In 20X1, the firm produced 5,000 units and used 5,300 sets of materials at a price of $50 per set.
Chapter 27 50
Variance Analysis
The quantity of the materials used was 300 sets above the standard.
The price of the materials used was $2 per unit below the standard.
Chapter 27 51
Calculating the Direct Materials Variance
The Wilson Company had an unfavorable direct materials variance of $5,000.
Actual cost: 5,300 sets at $50 each$265,000Standard cost: 5,000 sets at $52 each260,000
Direct materials variance—unfavorable$ 5,000
Chapter 27 52
Calculating a Quantity Variance
The Wilson Company’s direct materials variance is made up of a quantity variance and a price variance.
There is an unfavorable quantity variance of $15,600 for direct materials.
Chapter 27 53
Calculating a Quantity Variance
Actual quantity 5,300 Standard quantity 5,000 Excess quantity 300
Standard Cost Excess Quantity = Quantity Variance
$52 300 = $15,600
Chapter 27 54
Calculating a Price Variance
Standard price $52 Actual price 50 Savings per unit $ 2
Savings per unit Actual Quantity = Price Variance
$2 5,300 = $10,600
Chapter 27 55
Summary of Direct Materials Variances
Unfavorable quantity variance $15,600 Favorable price variance 10,600 Unfavorable variance $ 5,000
Chapter 27 56
Recording the Variances
The total standard cost for materials is debited to Work-in-Process Inventory. The total actual cost is credited to Raw Materials Inventory.
The variances are recorded in separate accounts for quantity and price variances.

Variance Accounts
Temporary owner’s equity accounts.Unfavorable variances are recorded as
debits because they decrease owner’s equity.
Favorable variances are recorded as credits because they increase owner’s equity.
The variance accounts are closed into Cost of Goods Sold at the end of the accounting period.
