'Actual Cost' vs 'Cost'

Currently in our project plans, the 'Actual Cost' and 'Cost' are not
calculating in a sandard manner across the board.

Currently we have instances, in which a task shows as 100% complete and the
'Actual Cost' and 'Cost' match.

On the other hand, when we have a task that is in progress, the 'Standard
Rate' and 'Cost' and not calculating correctly based on the 'Standard Rate'
and % of task complete.

Any thought as to why this may be occuring?

Thank You.

Is the work for the resources spread linearly accross the entire duration?
One cause of this situation is a task that is front loaded with work meaning
the cost curve will lead the %Complete accumulation.
