Discuss the usage and creation of standard costs by an operation.
Week 7 DiscussionCosting Systems and AnalysisOption 1Discuss the usage and creation of standard costs by an operation. How are these costs developed? How can they be used in the creation of a forecast? How can these be used in an individual or organizational measurement system? OR Option 2Discuss a current business activity that you or your department does that could be improved by leveraging Variance Analysis. Discuss the perspective you could gain, and what a favorable price and a favorable quantity variance mean in this application.Post your initial response and reply to at least 2 of your classmates initial posts .We have used variance analysis a few time in our antique car restoration business and it was really eye opening. Variance analysis is the process of identifying, measuring, and investigating the causes of significant differences (variances) between budgeted plans and actual results (1). We failed miserably with our property plant and equipment section of the balance sheet. We usually try and budget around $500 per month or $6,000 per year for new tools and equipment. Last year we spent $14,500 on new equipment which would not be a favorable variance. The main culprit of this was the owner of the company purchasing tools and equipment from sales people that come into the shop selling their latest, greatest product and falls for it hook-line and sinker!! A majority of the stuff purchased, they guys in the shop do not even use. I learned during this process that we do not need to purchase half of the stuff that we do. I would consider this wasteful spending!! In a year that we are purchasing the building and property that we have been renting, we need to really keep an eye on all expenses. ChrisReferences:1.

Is this a credible document to help us determine how Fidel Castro viewed the United States?
Analysis: After the reading the headnote, the first thing I am going to do is read the source note [read source information.] As I source this document, I notice the date. In February 1959 Castro had just come to power and was probably working to establish his rule. Eisenhower had recognized the new Cuban government, and Castro was traveling to the U.S. a few months later, in April. Neither side had taken a firm stance toward the otherthe relationship was very new. Furthermore, I notice that this interview was done with U.S. newspaper editors. That makes me wonder if he is trying to get some good press in the United States. Now that Ive thought about the context in which this interview was given, as I read the interview Ill want to think about how this context might have affected what Castro said about the U.S. This process is called contextualization. Is this a credible document to help us determine how Fidel Castro viewed the United States? Given what I know so far, it may be, but because it happened so early in Castros presidency, it might not give us a really good sense of Castros true beliefs because hes still working to establish his power, and he may be engaged in a public relations campaign here. Hes not sure how the U.S. is going to treat Cuba, and he might want to establish a good relationship with a powerful neighbor. As you read the interview, think about how the context in which the interview was given might have influenced what Castro said.

develop these diagrams:1. A domain model class diagram2. A list of uses cases and a use case diagram
A customer can order pizza’s on the system through a special Internet form. The form asks for all the pertinent information about the pizza: the pizza base, the base sauce, and the calculates the price. A customer may order as many pizza’s as desired. The system maintains an category of common pizza’s in the system so customers can use the search engine to search for their favorite pizza’s. People who want to buy pizzas come to the site and search for the pizza’s they want. When they decide to buy, they must open an account with a credit card to pay for the pizza’s. The system maintains all this information on secure servers.When a purchase is made, Pizza’sRUs.com sends an e-mail notice to the customer with the order choice as well as payment information. It also notifies the store of the oreder. The system maintains an open order until it receives notice that the pizza has been delivered.For this case, develop these diagrams:1. A domain model class diagram2. A list of uses cases and a use case diagram3. A fully developed description for two use cases: Allow Customers to Order Online and Process Credit Payment4. A System Sequence Diagram for each of the two use cases in question 3RationaleThis assignment is intended to enable you to start making the link between theory and practice. The tasks will also help you apply your understanding and knowledge to real-life business situations. Of particular importance is the intention of this assignment to improve your understanding of use cases which are initial medium for describing (in some detail) what a system is supposed to do.
