Course Objectives This course emphasizes the use of accounting information for internal purposes, as opposed to the external disclosure focus of the financial accounting courses. We cover the vocabulary and mechanics of cost accounting and the design of management accounting systems for planning and controlling operations, and for motivating personnel. The course integrates accounting with ideas from data analysis, decision analysis, finance, microeconomics, and operations management. The themes stressed throughout the course are: the notion that information is costly; the circumstances that necessitate cost allocation, and the idea that different costs and different allocation schemes apply for different purposes; and the fundamentals of incentive and compensation plans. Among the topics covered are cost behavior, cost-volume analysis, relevant costs, and the use of cost information for decision-making. II.
