The standards relating to one of these products are shown below, along with actual cost data for May. The production superintendent was pleased when he saw this report and commented: "This $0.24 excess cost is well within the 5 percent limit management has set for acceptable variances. It's obvious that there's not much to worry about with this product." Actual production for the month was 13,000 units.
