Standard costs are predetermined costs assigned to inventory items which are based on the typical raw materials prices and manufacturing costs for the finished goods under normal conditions. Some manufacturers prefer to use standard rather than actual costs when accounting for the value of their inventory. This provides a stable inventory value until you decide to change it, since it suppresses the effect of fluctuations in material costs, and actual manufacturing operations on the cost basis of their inventory.
