How to determine standard costs, explained by our business accountants in SydneyOur business accountants in Sydney define standard costing as the budget for a single unit of good or service. A standard cost is developed for direct materials, direct labour and manufacturing overheads. It is usually split up into two components which are standard quantity and standard price, in which they tell our small business accountants in Zetland the budgeted quantity and budgeted price for each unit of production. Determining standard costs Task analysis examines the production process in detail, determining what it should cost to produce a product, not what it cost in the previous year. Task analysis also takes into account normal operating conditions, which is a more practical view for employees and managers than an ideal standard. In our business accounting in Sydney, we recommend a combination of task and historical analysis as this is the best approach for determining standard costs.
