Course Objectives: | ENM 4101 covers the concepts and theories of cost accounting. It starts with introducing the concept of cost, how cost is determined and how it is related to financial statements and capital budgeting process. Similarities and differences between manufacturing and merchandising are covered. The course presents different methods of cost accounting methods such as process costing, job costing, activity based costing. Throughout the course the cost volume profit and variance analysis accompany the subjects covered. The course concludes with pricing and relevant cost concepts in order to provide a link to the following Managerial Accounting course. |

Explain the various tools used to evaluate, analyze and study the cost structure of a manufacturing and merchandising firm. III. Explaining how various methods of cost accounting applies on a case base, IV. Providing knowledge of variance analysis, V. Providing knowledge of cost profit analysis VI. Explaining how alternative approaches in cost accounting could generate differences in results |
