standards are set too high. When the products are run at a lower cost than the standard‚ then this produces a favorable variance. The cost of goods sold and variance should net to the correct cost though and this is the reason the system creates the variance. Lansing set a loose standard which the standard quantities and standard price are high‚ flowing this situation favorable variances will ordinarily result from operations. When the standard cost set artificially high‚ the standard cost of goods sold
