Explanation:

a. Currently attainable standard - Normal standard.

When a company says that a certain level of production is it's Currently Attainable Standard, they mean that this is the normal standard that they are able to operate in. That it is the standard that they have the actual capacity to produce at and so is normal for them.

b. Favorable cost variance - Actual cost < standard cost at actual volumes.

Variance cost in production is a measure that compares the cost that a company budgets to be able to produce a good vs the actual amount it takes to produce the said good. When the Budget is higher than the actual cost of production, it is said to be a FAVOURABLE balance because the budget was not exceeded.

c. Ideal standard - Theoretical standard.

This is the Standard that the company would like to be producing at to make a certain level of profit. It is usually different from the Normal Standard and the goal of most of not all companies is to work towards attaining their Ideal standard. They usually make Theoretical forecasts about their Ideal Standard.

d. Nonfinancial performance measure - An example is number of customer complaints.

There are many ways to measure performance but those ways are usually group into 2 categories being Financial and Non-financial measures of performance. The number of customer complaints that a business gets is a type of Non-financial Performance. As the intended market for a product, Customers are the most important appraisers of a Company's goods and services and if there are relatively low customer complaints, this shows that the company is performing well as they are able to please their customers.

e. Unfavorable cost variance - Actual cost > standard cost at actual volumes

As mentioned before, Variance helps determine the cost of production vs the budgeted cost of production. When a cost Variance is labeled as Unfavourable, it means that the Actual Cost exceeded the Budget of the production activity. This is unfavourable because it means that the business had to spend more than it thought it would on production thereby harming it's profit margins.
