"Cost Accounting for Managerial Planning, Decision Making and
Control" emphasizes the analysis and evaluation of cost accounting
information for managerial planning, control, and decision-making.
Our goal is to help students (future managers) understand how cost
accounting information adds value to an organization in a highly
competitive business environment. The philosophy underlying the
development of this book is that providing cost accounting
information is primarily a logical process, rather than a
procedural one. It is most important that students first understand
the basic concepts and objectives, and then gain some experience in
applying these concepts in different environments. Through this
approach, students will be better equipped to deal with the
unforeseen situations they will encounter in professional practice
or on professional examinations. This philosophy is evident in each
chapter, as basic concepts are presented and then illustrated with
examples and a wide variety of homework problems.
This text is intended for use in undergraduate and graduate courses
in cost accounting at both the basic and advanced levels. It
provides a complete and concise coverage of topics commonly
included in a basic course, with an in-depth coverage of selected
topics more appropriate for an advanced course in cost accounting.
Modular coverage of these topics permits the instructor to adapt
the text to his or her own preferences for course content. Plus, an
extremely clear writing style contributes to the ease with which
students will comprehend the contents of each chapter. By
emphasizing the differing uses for cost accounting information, our
intent is to make the student an intelligent provider, user, and
interpreter of this information.
