Concept Introduction:

Variable overhead cost variance:

Variable overhead cost variance can be defined as difference in the standard variable overheads and actual variable overheads.

Variable overhead cost variance is calculated as under –

Variable overhead cost variance = Actual Variable Overhead  (Standard Cost  Actual Quantity)

Variable overhead efficiency variance:

Variable overhead efficiency variance can be defined as difference between the standard hours or standard basis of use and actual hours or actual basis of use

Variable overhead efficiency variance is calculated as under –

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard Quantity  Actual Quantity) X Standard Rate

Fixed overhead cost variance:

Fixed overhead cost variance can be defined as difference in the standard fixed overheads and actual fixed overheads.

Fixed overhead cost variance is calculated as under –

Fixed overhead cost variance = Actual Fixed Overhead  Budgeted Fixed Overhead

Fixed overhead volume variance:

Fixed overhead volume variance can be defined as difference between fixed overhead for standard output and fixed overhead for actual output.

Fixed overhead volume variance is calculated as under –

Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted Fixed Overhead  Allocated Fixed Overhead

To compute:

1. Variable Overhead cost variance

2. Variable overhead efficiency variance

3. Fixed Overhead Cost variance

4. Fixed overhead volume variance

Country Selection for your Portfolio Project First, review the Portfolio Project description and the grading rubric in the Module 7 folder. Then, choose a country you will study and become an expert in as you prepare for the final project. Once you have selected a country, select a product that is currently not available there. This country-product combination will be the focus of your Portfolio Project. There can be only one person per country. So post early to ensure you get your country choice. It is best if we have representation from different regions of the world (e.g., Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin/Caribbean, the Middle East/North Africa, and Canada), so be aware of countries that have already been selected. Helpful Hint: The World FactbookLinks to an external site. is an excellent resource to use when deciding which country you want to study.  You should respond to the product or service choice selection posted commenting on initial thoughts about appropriateness to the…
For this discussion, address the questions below: Choose a global company that you feel does an excellent job of marketing its products and services. Discuss your perception of how the company avoids self-reference criterion to market effectively to different regions. You can structure your answer in the following manner: start your post with a well-developed paragraph to explain why you selected this company for this assignment. In the next paragraph, describe what you think drives this company's marketing strategy success. The third paragraph should discuss your perception of how the company avoids self-reference criterion to market effectively to different regions. Your fourth paragraph should focus on how you think the company avoids ethnocentric behavior in international markets where they are present.
We are all strategists. That is, we set goals, navigate threats, and tap opportunities. We leverage our resources and implement decisions and actions to reach our goals. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail.   (Adapted from Figure 1.1, Grant, 2022, p. 7) Please share an experience in which you played the strategist. What was your goal? Did the goal fit (or not fit) with the realities of the external environment and your resources? What implementation decisions and efforts did you make? Was your strategy successful or not? Why? Did strategy execution (i.e., implementation, monitoring, and control) play a key role in your strategy’s success or failure?
