TeachingNotesforChapter1 a a a a
Managerial accounting requires teaching methods different from those used in financial acco a a a a a a a a a a a
unting. In the introductory financial accounting course, instructors teach students about acco
a a a a a a a a a a a
unting standards. A primary goal in teaching managerial accounting is to de velop students’ c
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
onditional assessment skills (critical- a a a
thinking skills). For example, in a later chapter, students are frequently confused by th e fact
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
that, in different situations, a given cost can be classified as fixed or variable, dir ect or indirect,
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
relevant or not relevant. The salary cost of store managers may be fixed with respect to the nu
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
mber of customers that enter their stores. However, managers’ s alary cost is variable relative t
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
o the number of stores a company operates. A manager’s salary cost is directly traceable to a p
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
articular store but not traceable to a sale occurrin g in the store. Students must learn to assess t
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
he conditions that determine cost classific ation. Chapter 1 offers the first opportunity to deve
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
lop the students’ conditional assess ment skills. Here, students learn that depreciation can be
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
classified as an asset or an ex pense, depending on certain conditions. If a depreciable asset is u
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
sed to produce invent ory, the depreciation cost will first be classified as an asset (inventory) a
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
nd later as an expense (cost of goods sold). If the depreciable asset is used to support selling and
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ad ministrative activities, depreciation will be reported directly on the income statement a s
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
depreciation expense. a
Students typically enter managerial accounting with rigid ideas about expense reco gniti a a a a a a a a a a a
on. In financial accounting they learned that depreciation and employee compensat ion costs
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
are expensed directly on the income statement. The idea that depreciation rel ated to manufact
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
uring equipment and wages of production workers will pass through a n inventory account b
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
efore being expensed as cost of goods sold is contrary to their ex isting knowledge base. Expa
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
nding that knowledge base requires a significant commitm ent of teaching time. Your student
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
s are developing their analytical skills. They are lear ning how to assess the conditions that infl
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
uence cost classification. This type of learnin g requires more time than merely memorizing d
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
efinitions. If you sometimes feel that p rogress is too slow, remember that you are building a fo
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
undation upon which subseque nt learningAwill rest. There is no more important teaching task
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
than helping students fo rm a sound conceptual framework. We recommend using approxim
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ately three hours of class time for Chapter 1.

DetailedOutlineofaLessonPlanforChapter1 a a a a a a a a
A comprehensive lesson plan forAthe firstAday of class begins in the Introduction to this manual. Pl ease rea
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
d it before implementing steps II–VIII of the following lesson plan.
a a a a a a a a a a
I. Distinguish between managerial and financial accounting. The best way to d iffer a a a a a a a a a a a
entiate between managerial and financial accounting is to highlight differen ces where
a a a a a a a a a a a
they occur in the subject matter throughout the course. For example, when using estim
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ated data in a decision- a a a a
making context, point out that managerial accounting is future- a a a a a a a a
oriented rather than historically based. A long monologue about the differences betwe
a a a a a a a a a a a
en financial and managerial accounting will only bore your students. In a brief introdu
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ction to this topic, you might discuss the information needs for inte rnal users (manager
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
s) to plan, direct, and control. The information needed by a manager depends on his/he
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
r position in the organization and the particular decis ion facing the manager. If you wa
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
nt to spend more time on the topic, Exercise 1-1A from the end-of-
a a a a a a a a a a a a
chapter materials in the text might be an appropriate in- class activity at this point.
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
II. Use Demonstration Problem 1-1 as a problem-
a a a a a a
based learning exercise. (See the introduction to this manual for details about p roble
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
m-based learning.) a
III. After giving the students a few minutes to digest the problem and formulat e solu
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
tions, engage them in some form of collaborative learning experience.
a a a a a a a a a
IV.
Introduce the concept of product costing by providing the solution t o req a a a a a a a a a a a a
uirement a of Demonstration Problem 1-1. a a a a a
V. Continuing Demonstration Problem 1- a a a
1, determine the cost per unit and the sales price using a cost-
a a a a a a a a a a a a
plus pricing strategy.
a a a
VI. Show how product costs are expensed through cost of goods sold. a a a a a a a a a a
VII.
Introduce the cost category of selling, general, and administrative co sts ( a a a a a a a a a a a
SG&A costs). a
VIII. Use Problem 1-19A as an in-class reinforcement exercise.
a a a a a a a
IX. Copy and distribute Demonstration Problem 1-2. Demonstration Problem 1-
a a a a a a a a
2 expands the classification concepts introduced in Demonstration Problem 1-
a a a a a a a a a a
1 to include accounting for the depreciation of manufacturing equipment. Explain t hat de
a a a a a a a a a a a a
preciation on manufacturing facilities and equipment is a product cost. Point out that the e a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ntry to record depreciation on manufacturing equipment represents a n asset exchange t
a a a a a a a a a a a a
ransaction. The book value of manufacturing equipment decreas es, and the balance in the a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Inventory account increases. Students are so accustomed to the idea that depreciation is a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
n expense, they are not likely to grasp the product cost concept until they work a problem.
