(BQ) Chapter 8: Process costing. We continue our discussion of the details of a product costing system in Chapter 8 by developing a process costing system. As we discussed in Chapter 6, the difference between job order and process costing is the level at which costs are aggregated before they are assigned to the individual units of product. Process costing assumes that all units are homogeneous and follow the same path through the production process.

(BQ) Chapter 9: Activity-based costing. Chapters 7 and 8 described product costing systems. In the last 15 years or so, many companies have experimented with and implemented costing systems based on production processes rather than accounting systems. One such system is activity-based costing, or ABC, which aids managers in the decision making process. Chapter 9 describes activity-based costing.

(BQ) Chapter 11 - Service department and joint cost allocation. We have seen how cost allocation is used to develop the costs of products, services, and customers. However, part of the indirect cost incurred is from departments that do not directly produce the product or service but rather provide service to the departments that do produce the product or provide the service. In this chapter we will allocate the costs of these “service” departments. We will also consider product costing when multiple products are produced from the same inputs in fixed proportions.

(BQ) In the previous chapters we considered how information could be developed to help managers make decisions. In this chapter we will discuss the fundamentals of management control systems. After studying this chapter you should be able to: Explain the role of a management control system, identify the advantages and disadvantages of decentralization, describe and explain the basic framework for management control systems.

(BQ) Chapter 14: Business unit performance measurement. We described the organization of the firm in Chapter 12 by referring to responsibility centers: cost centers, profit centers, and investment centers. In this chapter, we develop and analyze performance measures for investment centers. Recall that in an investment center, managers have responsibility for asset deployment in addition to revenue and cost responsibilities.

(BQ) Chapter 15: Transfer pricing. A common example of decentralized decision making occurs when business units (divisions) within the organization buy goods and services from one another and when each is treated as a profit center (i.e., when each unit manager is evaluated on reported unit profit). When such an exchange occurs, the accounting systems in the two divisions record the transaction as if it were an ordinary sale (purchase) to (from) an external customer (supplier).

(BQ) Chapter 17: Additional topics in variance analysis. In this chapter, we discuss additional variances to illustrate some of the ways the basic variance analysis model can be extended and adapted to specific circumstances. The basic principles are exactly the same as those we discussed in chapter 16.
