Standard costing aids in inventory valuation because:

AStandards smooth out short-term fluctuations
BStandards reflect actual cost
CStandards are equal to market
DStandards are tax-deductible
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Standards smooth out short-term fluctuations
1. Inventory valuation under fluctuating actual costs is noisy and difficult to compare period to period. 2. Standards reflect a planned average and absorb routine fluctuations. 3. Using standards smooths out short-term fluctuations. 4. Hence standards aid stable interim profit measurement and stock valuation. _Source: ICAI BoS Inter Paper 3, Ch 13 "Standard Costing", §13.1.2 ¶3-4_
