8) From an accounting standpoint, favorable cost variances are debit entries, while unfavorable ones are credits.
9) Under standard costing the cost per equivalent-unit calculation is more difficult than in either weighted average or FIFO.
10) Both, the standard-costing method and FIFO, assumes that the earliest equivalent units in beginning work in process are completed first.
