Standard costs are continually reviewed and periodically revised if significant changes occur in production methods or in the prices paid for material‚ labor‚ and overhead. The level of production output plays an important role in determining cost standards. For instance‚ grossly underutilized production facilities often experience varying degrees of cost inefficiency.
