English

Subject field(s)
  • Cost Accounting
DEF

The projected cost, usually based on normal production or operating conditions, of an activity, operation, process or unit of product, established as a basis for control and reporting.

CONT

The usefulness of a cost accounting system is increased when predetermined cost estimates for materials, labour, and factory overhead are included in the system to serve as bench marks against which actual costs may be compared. These predetermined cost estimates are called standard costs. A standard cost is the cost that should be incurred to produce a product or to perform an operation under realistic and achievable conditions.

OBS

Compare to "actual cost" and "budgeted cost".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comptabilité analytique
DEF

Coût d'une activité, d'une opération, d'un procédé, d'un produit ou d'un service, évalué a priori au moyen d'une analyse à la fois technique et économique.

CONT

La notion de coût standard correspond à ce que les coûts devraient être compte tenu de certaines normes d'efficacité à satisfaire dans l'utilisation des ressources. Le coût standard facilite certains traitements analytiques, permet le contrôle de gestion par l'analyse des écarts et facilite la présentation des résultats.

OBS

Les notions de «coût standard» et «coût normalisé» sont souvent confondues dans les sources canadiennes; selon nos conclusions, ces termes ne sont pas synonymes.
