...TOURO COLLEGE COURSE SYLLABUS DEPARTMENT: Business COURSE TITLE: Cost Accounting COURSE NUMBER: EBA 213 PREREQUISITES: EBA 101, EBA 102 CREDIT HOURS: 3 DEVELOPER: Professor Simon Saltz LAST UPDATE: December 1,2003 COURSE DESCRIPTION: Cost accounting focuses on cost determination for manufacturers, products and services. This includes the establishment and maintenance of job order and process cost systems, and the classification of costs as product or period, direct or indirect. Also included are managerial techniques and systems such as budgeting and variance analysis, which enable a business to manage its affairs more efficiently . COURSE/ DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES: Students should be able to understand the thinking and systems of the business world. Understanding how the cost of a product is determined, as it moves through the manufacturing process, enables students to gain insight into how pricing decisions are made. They will be in a better position to determine whether a business is price gouging and can be an effective force in countering such behavior. Understanding budgeting systems enables one to properly manage a business and diagnose the causes of poor business performance. This could help preserve jobs for employees and investment value for shareholders. COURSE/ INSTITUTIONAL...

The role of the managerial accountant includes not only functions and positions within an organization, but also ethical standards and obligations. The product costing function is primarily quantitative. The third focus is the subject of the second and third sections of the course.

...Full Cost Accounting A Course Module on Incorporating Environmental and Social Costs into Traditional Business Accounting Systems Noellette Conway-Schempf, Ph.D. Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 1 Overview: This module describes methods for incorporating environmental information into accounting management information systems to allow financial decision makers to include environmental criteria in their decisions. The module is subdivided to permit a progression of detail concerning accounting systems and their role in encouraging the design and development, marketing, and use of more environmentally-conscious products, services, and manufacturing processes. The module is suitable for use as part of an engineering or business environmental management course, at either the undergraduate or graduate level, through the selection of various components of the module. Thus for example, in an MBA course, the early material on types of accounting systems would be unnecessary, or in an engineering environmental management course, more emphasis could be placed on the managerial/cost accounting section than on the national accounting section. The module is subdivided as follows: 1) Introduction What is accounting? Relevance of accounting and capital budgeting to environmental management and engineering issues Types of accounting systems Shortcomings of accounting systems as environmental information systems Full cost accounting 2)...
