Week 7 Discussion Topic: How do you think the idea of standard costs (related to your major) could be used in a service industry such as a hospital, clinic, law office, insurance company, IT department, non-profit, etc.? As a manager of one of these organizations what changes do you think you could make as a result of reviewing the variances we learned this week (materials, labor, overhead)? Be sure to provide specific, relevant examples of the use and analysis of the variance results.
