Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Given

-----------Actual ------------ Standard

Job Number -- Hours-- Costs-- Hours --Costs --Total Variance

A257 -- 220 -- $4,400 -- 225 --$4,500 --$100 Favourable

A258 -- 450 -- 9,450 -- 430 -- 8,600 -- 850 Unfavourable

A259 -- 240 -- 4,860 -- 240 -- 4,800 -- 60 Unfavourable

A260 -- 115 -- 2,070 -- 110 -- 2,200 -- 130 Favourable

Total variance $680 Unfavourable

To solve this, well need to calculate the actual labor rate per hour for all four jobs, and standard labor rate per hour which will be same for all jobs.

This is calculated as follows; Rate = Hours ÷ Costs

The table becomes

-----------Actual ------------ Standard

Job Number -- Hours -- Costs -- Rate -- Hours --Costs --- Rate ---Total Variance

A257 -------------- 220 -- $4,400 -- --20-------225 --$4,500 ----20-----$100 Favourable

A258 -- ------------450 -- 9,450 -------21-------- 430 -- 8,600 -----20-- 850 Unfavourable

A259 -------------- 240 -- 4,860 -----20.25------- 240 -- 4,800 ----20--- 60 Unfavourable

A260 -------------- 115 ---- 2,070 --------18------ 110 ------ 2,200 -----20----- 130 Favourable

Total variance $680 Unfavourable

Answer: introduce more differentiation

Explanation: Product differentiation is a method of using various tactics to make a product stand out from the rest of the similar products sold by a competitor, in an effort to make it more appealing to its customer base.

Which of the following is an example of a strategic action?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Option D. Entry into the European market by Home Depot.

Explanation:

The reason is that the strategic actions are long term actions and are market based moves which bounds the organizational resources for implementation and are also very difficult to reverse.

So here use of coupons, fare increases and two for one offers are easily reversible, requires fewer organizations resources for implementation and short term decisions which means these are tactical actions.

Whereas the decision to enter european market by Home Depot is long term decision, bounds organization resources for implementation and is very difficult to implement or reverse the actions once taken, so it is strategical action of Home Depot.
