Course Prerequisites:

Acct 201. It is the your responsibility to be certain that this prerequisite has been successfully

completed. If at any time during the semester, it is determined that you have not completed this prerequisites,

you may be administratively dropped from the course without credit or tuition refund.

Course Materials:

Required: Managerial Accounting, Braun Tietz, 3rd

Edition. Pearson Publishing. Also REQUIRED: My

Accounting Lab Access Codes.

Course Description:

A study of managerial accounting information as it is used by managers in various types of business

organizations. The emphasis is on the development, interpretation, and application of managerial accounting

for planning activities, controlling operations, and making decisions.

Objectives:

1. Define and distinguish between various cost classifications, such as product costs, period costs, variable

costs, fixed costs, manufacturing costs, etc.

2. Compare and contrast the traditional costing systems (Job Order and Process) with the Activity Based

Costing system.

3. Demonstrate use of the predetermined overhead rate in job order costing.

4. Apply incremental analysis in the following types of decisions: acceptance of a special order, make or

buy, sell or process further, retain or replace equipment and the elimination of unprofitable segments.

5. Explain the benefits of the budgeting process and how to utilize a budget in controlling costs.

6. Illustrate the capital budgeting techniques for evaluating capital expenditures.

7. Expand your critical thinking skills as applied to ethical business choices and business decisions.

Grading:

Grades will be determined on the basis of total points earned. Examination and project due dates appear

on the attached schedule. The point distribution will be approximately as follows:

Three In-Class Individual Exams (100 pts. each) 300

Final Examination 150

Quizzes and homework 165

Cases 75

Professionalism 30

Total Points 720

Grades will be computed on a % basis: 90%= A, 87% = B+, 80% = B. etc. Final grades will be based on

your score being rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent and then rounded up, so a 79.1 rounds to an 80 or a B.

Professionalism Pts:

Professionalism points will be awarded based on your professional behavior during class. This includes

demeanor, attendance, attentiveness, friendliness, using proper professional etiquette as to cell phone usage

while in class, and attendance. Please do not text or use cell phones while in class. One violation will cost you

10 professionalism points and another will cost you 20.

Homework Assignments:

Accounting exercises are assigned and to be completed in My Accounting Lab. The minimum exercises

are listed in bold. Writing assignments are listed in the syllabus. These should be typed in a word processing

program and are due the day after they are assigned. Late writing assignments will not be accepted because

they are discussed in class.

Assignments are to be prepared by you individually. Due dates for each assignment will be the end of

the class period day following the completion of the chapter in question. I will accept late homework up until

the test related to the chapter covered. Late homework will only receive 70% of the earned grade. Assignments

in bold will be collected. Others may be collected at my discretion if I believe the class is unprepared for

discussions.

In-Class Exams:

There will be four exams during the term; the first three exams will cover the indicated chapters while

the fourth will be a comprehensive final. All concepts presented in the textbook chapters (whether covered in

class or not) assigned for the indicated test are subject to being tested unless otherwise noted. The final exam

will be comprehensive over all material covered during the semester. These exams will be closed-text and

closed-notebook tests. To assure academic integrity and fairness to all, make-up exams will NOT be given. If

you make arrangements in advance of missing the test and you have what I consider an acceptable excuse for

missing the exam, the 100 points for the missed exam will be added to the points for the final; otherwise, you

will receive a zero (0) on the missed exam.

Quizzes:

Quizzes may be given at the beginning of class. If you are tardy, you will not receive any additional

time to complete the quiz. If you are absent you will not be able to make up a quiz.

Class Attendance:

Regular attendance is encouraged and, indeed, is a necessary condition for satisfactory performance in

this course. While it is understandable that absence from class is occasionally unavoidable, each student is

responsible for making up any missed assignments or lecture notes. Should an anticipated absence occur, please

let the me know as soon as possible so that any change in assignments for that date may be made available.

Remember that late homework will not be docked, so if you must miss class, be sure to turn in your homework

in advance. It is very important to prepare for and participate in class discussion. This interaction is critical to

full development and understanding of many of the topics considered in this course.

Electronic Mail and the Internet:

This class will make use of email and Blackboard provided by the university to promote communication

between us and to facilitate the administration of the course. For example, you may receive such items as a

revised syllabus, take-home assignments, or other miscellaneous informational items through email or

Blackboard. Please use email to ask me any questions you have concerning the course or its subject matter,

particularly if regular office hours cannot be met or another time cannot be scheduled. Therefore, you must

possess a functioning email account and be proficient in the use of e-mail and blackboard.

Standards of Conduct and Academic Integrity:

This course will be conducted according to all applicable standards as specified by the University of

Southern Indiana for student conduct and expectations.

Quizzes & Exams - A student caught cheating on a quiz will receive a zero (0) on the quiz. In addition, the

assistant dean in the COB will be notified and a memo will be placed in the student’s file. Students caught

cheating on an exam will receive a zero on the exam and will automatically fail the class; the assistant dean in

the COB will be notified and a memo will be placed in the student’s file. Cheating or plagiarism may also result

in additional penalties. If the student has previously committed an act of academic dishonesty, then the student

may be required to leave the College of Business and/or may be suspended from the university.

Cell Phones, Beepers & Other Electronic Devices:

Because these items represent potential disruptions to our class, you must turn them off and put them away

before each class. If your electronic device disturbs the class, you may be asked to leave class for the rest of the

day. The only exception to this policy will occur due to a family medical situation that you discuss with me at

the beginning of the semester (or as soon as you become aware of the medical problem) and for which you

present written proof. On test day, all electronic devices (except calculators) must be stowed away; if I see any

electronic device other than your calculator on your desk on test day, you will receive a zero (0) on your test.

CAREER ADVISING

Career advising is available through your academic advisor or any accounting professor. Please take advantage

of this opportunity to discuss the career paths open to accounting graduates and to ask relevant questions.
