The variance analyses should be based on the standard vamounts at actual vvolumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the actual vvolume is different from the planned volume, as it was in this case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change in direct materials and direct labor thatwill be required for the actual v production. In this way, spending from volume changes can be separated from efficiency and price variances.

Standard costing in simple terms can be defined as a system in which the standard costs and revenues…
