Demonstrate strong oral and written skills necessary to effectively collaborate and communicate from a global perspective with diverse groups of people. 3. Apply accounting concepts and principles in making decisions about business operations. 4. Identify and explain the major functional areas of the business organizations including management, marketing, finance, and accounting. 5. Apply commonly used computer application programs to create relevant business documents. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Define and use managerial accounting and business terminology. PSLO 3, PSLO 4 2. Analyze financial information and construct various managerial accounting statements and reports using cost-volume-profit relationships, incremental analysis techniques, activity-based costing, and capital budgeting methods. PSLO 1, PSLO 2, PSLO 3, PSLO 4 3. Prepare the master budget, flexible budgets, and responsibility accounting reports. PSLO 2, PSLO 4 4. Construct accounting records and reports for job-order and process product costing systems. PSLO 2, PSLO 4 Assessments Instruments: Exams: All homework assignments are completed at the publisher s website. Textbooks and other materials are available to students when completing the homework assignments. Additionally, they are given multiple attempts at each homework problem. The homework assignments are designed to give the student an opportunity to apply the concepts learned in class and to help them master the material for the exams. Therefore, the exams are the only true measures of what the students have learned. All the CSLOs are assessed with questions from the four exams. Form Revised 082013 Page 3 of 9
Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Final Exam CSLO 1 X X X X CSLO 2 X X X X CSLO 3 X CSLO 4 X CSLO 1 - Define and use managerial accounting and business terminology. PSLO 3, PSLO 4 CSLO 1 is assessed by the three unit exams and the final exam. Students may be asked to either provide definitions of the terms or match the terms with their definitions. Use of the terms are also assessed indirectly through exam questions which directly assess CSLO 2, CSLO 3, and CSLO 4. Students cannot record financial transactions or construct financial statements and/or reports without using managerial accounting and business terms. Example exam question for CSLO 1: Yates Manufacturing Company incurs the following manufacturing items during the month of May. 1. Assembly line wages 2. Raw materials used directly in product 3. Depreciation on office equipment 4. Property taxes on factory building 5. Rent on factory building 6. Sales commissions 7. Depreciation on factory equipment 8. Factory utilities 9. Wages for factory maintenance workers 10. Advertising Instructions: Define each item and indicated if it is a cost item, direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, or period cost. CSLO 2 - Analyze financial information and construct various managerial accounting statements and reports using cost-volume-profit relationships, incremental analysis techniques, activitybased costing, and capital budgeting methods. PSLO 1, PSLO 2, PSLO 3, PSLO 4 CSLO 2 is assessed through the three unit exams and the final exam. Each exam includes questions/exercises where the student may be asked to use cost-volume-profit relationships, incremental analysis techniques, activity-based costing, and/or capital budgeting methods to analyze financial information and construct various managerial accounting statements and reports. However, not all items are always present in every exam. Example exam Question for CSLO 2: The information below relates to Rush Company s developed product: Per Unit Sales price 90 Variable cost 54 Total fixed costs 432,000 Instructions: Answer the following independent questions and show computations to support your answers for all items (a, b, and c). Form Revised 082013 Page 4 of 9
a. How many units must be sold to break even? b. What is the total sales, in dollars, that must be generated for the company to earn a profit of 50,400? c. If the company is presently selling 14,000 units, but plans to spend an additional 135,000 on an advertising program, how many additional units must the company sell to earn the same net income it is now making? CSLO 3 - Prepare the master budget, flexible budgets, and responsibility accounting reports. PSLO 2, PSLO 4 CSLO 3 is assessed through exam 3.

C-level student work: The breakeven point and target profit point are correctly computed in 70% of the situations (1) special order, make or buy, sell or process further, retain or replace equipment, eliminate an unprofitable business segment, and the allocation of limited resources situations are analyzed using the appropriate incremental analysis techniques 70% of the time and the correct decision is reached and communicated 70% of the time (2); manufacturing overhead is correctly allocated to products for 70% of the activity cost pools (3); the payback period, annual rate of return, and the net present value are correctly computed 70% of the time and the appropriate capital budgeting decision is reached and communicated between 70% of the time (4). CSLO 3 - Prepare the master budget, flexible budgets, and responsibility accounting reports. PSLO 2, PSLO 4 A-level student work: The components of the master budget, the flexible budgets, and the responsibility accounting reports are prepared in proper form with correct titles, subtotals, and totals. The ten components of the master budget are properly integrated and ordered (i.e. the production budget is based on the sales budget and provides input for the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead budgets). Flexible budgets are prepared for an appropriate relevant range of activity and flex for the variable cost while presenting the same fixed costs at each level of activity. Responsibility accounting reports include only those revenues and costs that are controllable at either the cost center, profit center, or investment center for which the report was prepared for. The controllable margin is correctly computed. Investment center reports include the correct computation of the return on investment. Minor errors in titles or labels and minor computation errors could be present. C-level student work: The master budget components, the flexible budgets, and the responsibility accounting reports are prepared but include two or three significant errors or omissions. Two or three of the components of the master budget have incorrect labels, subtotals, or totals and two or three of the components are not properly integrated. The flexible budgets include a two - three errors in labeling and/or in the computation of subtotals and totals. Responsibility accounting reports include two three errors in determining controllable costs and/or revenues or in the computation of return on investment. CSLO 4 - Construct accounting records and reports for job-order and process product costing systems. PSLO 2, PSLO 4 A-level student work: The accumulation and assignment of product costs in a job-order cost accounting system and a process cost accounting system are properly accounted for by the appropriate journal entries. The job-order cost sheets (job-order cost accounting system) and the production cost reports (process cost accounting system) are properly computed, prepared, and presented. Minor errors in Form Revised 082013 Page 7 of 9
account titles (journal entries) and report line item descriptions (cost sheets and production cost reports) may be present. C-level student work: The journal entries to account for the accumulation and assignment of product costs include two - four significant errors in either account title or amount. The job-order costs sheets and the production cost reports include two four significant errors in their computation, preparation and/or presentation.
