Variance Analysis is used to promote management action in the earliest stages. It is the process of examining in detail each variance between actual and budgeted costs to conclude the reasons as to why the budgeted amount was not met (Ventureline‚ 2012). There are several factors that go into a variance report. One is the assumption of the department. The second is the risk of the assumption. And thirdly the actual expense used to portray the budget. The vice president announces the budget that needs

father of “Modern Portfolio theory”‚ developed the mean-variance analysis‚ which focuses on creating portfolios of assets that minimizes the variance of returns i.e. risk‚ given a level of desired return‚ or maximizes the returns given a level of risk tolerance. This theory aids the process of portfolio construction by providing a quantitative take on it. It integrates the field of quantitative analysis with portfolio management. Mean variance analysis has found wide applications both inside and outside
