What is the overall idea of the resource and how does it relate to what we are studying?
Overview: Throughout this course, we will study the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and how they relate singly and combined to preschool curriculum planning. We will explore readings, resources, articles, websites, videos, planning resources and supplemental resources provided in the individual course units. These resources replace a textbook and are current materials written by professionals in the field. They present life experiences that can give real input into your studies.
In each of the three units where there is this reflection assignment, you will select one resource in the unit and write an essay response to the four questions provided. Before you make your resource selection, read all the resources and visit all the links provided in the unit. Some readings will reflect knowledge you already have which will be further solidified. Some material will stretch your thinking and give you a new perspective on a strategy. This coursework is intended to inform, extend your thinking, invite you to query, and reflect on and refine your practices. You will create new knowledge and define your teaching practices with each reflection assignment.
Instructions: Follow these instructions for each of the STEM Resource & Teaching Reflection essays.
1. Resource Selection: Unit Readings and Resources Section
o Read all the unit resources and visit all the assigned website links
before you make your selection.

calculate the price variances (price variance and wage rate variance) and quantity variances (quantity variance and labor efficiency variance) for each material and direct labor.
For this Assignment, you will continue in your role as consultant to the Better Chair Company. Last week, you completed and submitted a report on types of costs and their implications for decision making. This week, the focus of your report will be the use of variance analysis and transfer pricing methods in making effective managerial decisions.
In addition to the requirements that follow, be sure to incorporate references to appropriate academic sources, such as those found in this week’s Learning Resources or those in the Walden Library.
To prepare for this Assignment:
· Download the Week 4 Part 1 Assignment Template.
· Download the Week 4 Part 2 Assignment Template.
· Your Instructor will provide part of the data to complete the calculations for this week’s Assignment. There will be two tabs in this document. The first tab will correspond to the “Variance Analysis” part of this Assignment and the second tab will correspond to the “Transfer Pricing” part of this Assignment. To access that information, refer to Doc Sharing:
Submit your completed business report and accompanying Excel file. Your report should be 3–4 pages in length (excluding title page and references) and should address the following:
Variance Analysis
The first area you have been asked to address for the management team in this report is to help them understand why the actual costs for the new chair are not aligning with the determined standard costs. The company has set up standard costs for labor and each component of the new chair. It now has the actual costs for the previous month’s production run. You are asked to determine which costs are meeting the standards and which are not, to analyze the probable cause of the variances, and to provide a recommendation for moving forward. To determine this, you will conduct a variance analysis. In Doc Sharing, your Instructor will provide you with standard and actual costs to use for this part of the Assignment.
To complete this part, address the following:
· Using the Week 4 Part 2 Assignment Template and the data provided by your Instructor in the Doc Sharing area, calculate the price variances (price variance and wage rate variance) and quantity variances (quantity variance and labor efficiency variance) for each material and direct labor.
· Note: In addition to submitting your work in Excel, include your calculations within your report by copying and pasting the information from Excel. For information on inserting data from Excel into Word, refer to the following:
Microsoft. (n.d.). Insert a chart from an Excel spreadsheet into Word. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-a-chart-from-an-excel-spreadsheet-into-word-0b4d40a5-3544-4dcd-b28f-ba82a9b9f1e1
· Analyze what the variances to the standards are, including an examination of possible causes.
· Propose at least two recommendations for potential remedies to address the variances.
· Summarize how understanding variance analysis can impact managerial decision making.
Transfer Pricing
The next area you have been asked to address is regarding the decision to transfer the new lounge chair from its production division in Country X to the company’s retail division in Country Y. The management team wants to understand which transfer pricing method should be used: full cost or variable cost. In Doc Sharing, your Instructor will provide you with a scenario for The Better Chair Company to use for this part of the Assignment.
To complete this part, address the following:
· Using the Week 4 Part 2 Assignment Template and the data provided by your Instructor in the Doc Sharing area, calculate the full-cost transfer pricing method and the variable-cost transfer pricing method.
· Note: In addition to submitting your work in Excel, include your calculations within your report by copying and pasting the information from Excel.
· Synthesize the results of your calculations to recommend which transfer pricing method will result in a better overall outcome.
· Explain how understanding and utilizing transfer pricing can impact managerial decision making.
identify at least ONE statute from your state (or state of your choice) associated with that crime category and explain the major elements of that offense that need to be investigated and proven
In at least four (4) pages, identify a category of crime, provide a specific example of the elements of the offense from your state (or state of your choosing) and discuss the investigative approaches and choices that an investigator would most likely consider when conducting an investigation.
In your paper:
(1) identify the category of crime that you will be exploring: Crimes Against Persons; Crimes Against Property; or Crimes Against Society;
(2) identify at least ONE statute from your state (or state of your choice) associated with that crime category and explain the major elements of that offense that need to be investigated and proven;
(3) discuss the type of crime scene you may encounter with that type of offense and how you would handle that crime scene – will it be a large complex scene with many witnesses, lots of physical evidence, or a small scene with no witnesses, etc; OR is this the type of crime that requires special investigation techniques like confidential informants, undercovers, surveillance, etc?
(4) discuss the type(s) of evidence you are likely to be collecting from that scene – is it mostly witness statements, or forensic evidence like DNA, fingerprints, computer evidence, etc – and how you would best handle that evidence;
(5) for the type(s) of evidence you are collecting, what are the potential challenges you may be expected to overcome? Is contamination an issue? What types of witnesses/victims to you potentially come across that would potentially cause reliability issues?
(6) do you think the type of crime you are investigating will likely lead to search warrants? If so, what would you be searching for, where would it be, and what level of evidence do you need to obtain that search warrant?
(7) for the type of investigation you have selected, discuss the clearance rate of offense in general (see reading below) and give an opinion as to if that rate can be improved or not. If you believe it can be improved, explain what additional resources or techniques would lead to improvement. If you do not believe the clearance rate can be improved, give an opinion as to why not.
NOTE: If you chose to discuss Crimes Against Society, discuss what you think the biggest challenge is associated with detecting/investigating the type of offense you selected and what types of additional resources or techniques could lead to more successful investigations of that type of crime.
