With Appendix (I II III) y y y y




CHAPTER 1 y




The Crucial Role of Managerial Accounting in a Dynamic Business
y y y y y y y y y




y Environment

FOCUS ON ETHICS (Located before the Chapter Summary in the text.)
y y y y y y y y y y




The focus-on-ethics inset for Chapter 1 is the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional
y y y y y y y y y y y y


Practice. Instructors can use this list of ethical principles and standards to lead a class
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


discussion. The discussion can also range to consideration of how these standards may
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


have been violated by accountants and managers involved in the various ethical scandals
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


uncovered over the past several years. It is also useful to discuss the pros and cons of the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


procedures for ―Resolving Ethical Issues‖ that IMA suggests for its members when they
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


believe they know about ethical lapses in their organizations.
y y y y y y y y y




We also introduce here the connection to the ―Ethics Unwrapped‖ video series that can
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


supplement the discussion of ethics in the context of each chapter. In each chapter of the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


text, we have suggested topic videos in the series that align with that chapter. Discussion
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


guidance and questions relating to the videos can be found on the ―Ethics Unwrapped‖ site

at the URL provided. This resource is provided by permission from the University of Texas at

ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS y y y




1-1 The explosion in e-commerce will affect managers in significant ways. One effect will be
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


a drastic reduction in paperwork. Millions of transactions between businesses are
y y y y y y y y y y y


conducted electronically with no hard-copy documentation. Along with this method of
y y y y y y y y y y y


communicating for business transactions comes the very significant issue of
y y y y y y y y y y


information security. Businesses need to find ways to protect confidential information
y y y y y y y y y y y


in their own computers, in cloud computing data centers, and while moving across the
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


internet, while at the same time sharing the information necessary to complete
y y y y y y y y y y y y


transactions. Another effect of e-commerce is the dramatically increased speed with
y y y y y y y y y y y


which business transactions can be conducted. In addition, there will be dramatic
y y y y y y y y y y y y


changes in the way managerial accounting procedures are carried out, one example
y y y y y y y y y y y y

1-5 Examples of the objectives of managerial-accounting activity in an airline company
y y y y y y y y y y


yare described below:
y y




(a) Providing information for decision making and planning, and proactively y y y y y y y y


participating as part of the management team in the decision making and
y y y y y y y y y y y y


planning processes: Managerial accountants provide estimates of the cost of
y y y y y y y y y y


adding a flight on the route from Dallas to Miami and actively participate in
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y


making the decision about adding the flight.
y y y y y y y




(b) Assisting managers in directing and controlling operations: Managerial y y y y y y y


accountants provide information about the actual costs of flying the company‘s
y y y y y y y y y y y


Asian routes during a particular month.
y y y y y y




(c) Motivating managers and other employees toward the organization's goals: A
y y y y y y y y y


budget is provided for the cost of handling baggage at Chicago O'Hare Airport.
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


The budget is given to the airline's baggage handling manager, who is expected
y y y y y y y y y y y y y


to strive to achieve the budget.
y y y y y y




(d) Measuring the performance of activities, subunits, managers, and other y y y y y y y y


employees within the organization: Quarterly income statements are prepared for
y y y y y y y y y y


each of the airline's major geographical sectors, and these income reports are
y y y y y y y y y y y y


used to evaluate the earnings performance of each sector during the relevant
y y y y y y y y y y y y


time period.
y y




(e) Assessing the organization's competitive position and working with other y y y y y y y y


managers to ensure the organization's long-run competitiveness in its industry:
y y y y y y y y y y


Information about industry-wide performance standards is obtained and
y y y y y y y y


compared with the airline's own performance. For example, how does the airline
y y y y y y y y y y y y


stack up against its competitors in ticket prices, on-time departures, mishandled
y y y y y y y y y y y


baggage, customer complaints, and safety?
