are characterized by input-throughput-output processes (Farace‚ Monge & Russell‚ 1977). In system processes‚ the “input” is what is entered into a system of‚ for example‚ information‚ in its operation to achieve an “output” result. The “throughput” is a transformational process that transitions information gathered to what it will eventually amount to. The output‚ then‚ expectedly‚ is the final result. There are two kinds of processes that characterize input-throughput-output operations. The first

Chapter 10 Standard Costs and the Balanced Scorecard Solutions to Questions 10-1 A quantity standard indicates how much of an input should be used to make a unit of output. A price standard indicates how much the input should cost. 10-2 Ideal standards assume perfection and do not allow for any inefficiency. Thus‚ ideal standards are rarely‚ if ever‚ attained. Practical standards can be attained by employees working at a reasonable‚ though efficient pace and allow for normal breaks
