What ACC/349 is really about

Cost accounting follows materials, labor and overhead as they move through production into finished goods and cost of goods sold. ACC/349 teaches job order and process costing, standard costs and the variances that reveal where actual results departed from plan.

Assignments usually include cost flow schedules, variance analysis for materials, labor and overhead, make-or-buy and special order decisions using relevant costs, master budgets, economic order quantity and net present value for equipment purchases. Many sections also ask for a short memo telling a manager what the numbers mean and which option to choose.

What ACC/349’s assessments ask for

Instructors look for correct cost flows, variances labeled favorable or unfavorable with causes suggested, decisions based only on relevant costs and budgets that tie together from sales through cash.

Where students lose points in ACC/349

Students lose points when sunk costs creep into decisions, when variances are computed but not explained or when budgets are built from inconsistent assumptions.

ACC/349 questions, answered

What is a standard cost system?

A system that sets expected costs for materials, labor and overhead per unit and compares them with actual costs to identify variances.

What is a relevant cost?

A future cost that differs between the alternatives being considered; sunk costs and costs that are the same under every option are irrelevant.

What is responsibility accounting?

Evaluating managers on the revenues, costs or investments they control, through cost, profit and investment centers.
