Typical cost standards
In accordance with US GAAP, for external
reporting purposes companies have to use the actual costing method. However,
for internal reporting purposes, many businesses use the standard costing
approach. Standard costing allows a company's management to set operating
targets and evaluate actual performance. By setting standard costs and
performing standard cost variance analysis, companies can determine concrete
ways to improve future operations and can prepare more realistic operating
budgets.
