CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES cv cv




1. Define managerial accounting (Unit 1.1) cv cv cv cv




There are several formal definitions of managerial accounting. A simple one is “the
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv vc



generation of relevant information to support management’s decision- cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



making activities.” cv




2. Describe the differences between managerial and financial accounting( cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv




Unit 1.1) cv




Managerial accounting’s primary users are managers and decision makers within an org
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



anization, whereas financial accounting is aimed primarily at external users. Unlike GAA
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



P that guides financial accounting, there are no mandated rules in managerial accountin
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



g. Managerial accounting reports focus on operating segments, while financialaccountin
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv vc



g statements report results for the organization as a whole. Managerial accounting is co
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



ncerned more with projecting future results than reporting past results. Managerial info
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



rmation is prepared to take advantage of a window of opportunity, evenif some accurac
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv vc cv cv



y must be sacrificed. Financial accounting information is balanced to the penny and is de
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



livered after the end of the accounting period.

3. List and describe the four functions of managers (Unit 1.1)
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



Planning means setting a direction for the organization. Long-
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



term, or strategic planningprovides direction for a five- to ten-year period. Short-
cv cv cv vc cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



term or operational planning provides more detailed guidance for the coming year; it tra
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



nslates the company’s strategy into action steps. Controlling is the monitoring of day-to-
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



day operations to identify any problems that require corrective action. Evaluating is the
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



process of comparing a particular period’s actual results to planned results, for the purp
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



ose of assessing managerial performance. Decision making means choosing between alt
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



ernative courses of action. cv cv cv




4. Explain how the selection of a particular business strategy determines thei
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv




nformation that managers need to run an organization effectively (Unit 1. cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv




2)
To run a business effectively, managers need information that shows how well opera
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



tions are meeting the organization’s strategic goals. For instance, if the organization’
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



s strategy is to be a low-
cv cv cv cv cv cv



cost producer, information about product costsand cost variances will be more usefu
cv cv cv cv cv vc cv cv cv cv cv cv



l to managers than information about researchand development.

5. Discuss the importance of ethical behavior in managerial accounting (Unit1
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv




.3)
Ethical behavior means knowing right from wrong and then doing the right thing. Many
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv vc



companies and most professional organizations have codes of conduct to guide employ
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



ees’ actions. Acting unethically can lead to illegal activity and ultimately to the destructi
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv



on of the firm. Furthermore, research has shown that a public commitment toethical b
cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv cv vc cv



ehavior can lead to superior financial performance.
