    Can you please tell me the types of standards such as Basic standard, Ideal standard, Current standard, and Expected standard and where they are being used?

    I was unable to understand them completely? I hope you would not mind

    To the extent that they are relevant for Paper PM, they are explained in our free notes and lectures on basic variance analysis.

    Sir, I wonder where these types of standards are used in F5?

    1) Basic standard
    These are the basic standard that company set and they could be easily achieve

    2) Ideal standard
    These are the ideal standards that the company set and it is impossible to reach those standard

    3) Current standard
    These are the current standard that we are considering

    4) Expected standard
    This is what we expect the standard to be in the future but it might be wrong because they are based on estimates

    Please correct me if I am wrong

    That is correct (although it is Paper PM now, not F5).
