Accounting as a Tool for Management /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES /f/f /f/f




1. Define managerial accounting (Unit 1.1) /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


There are several formal definitions of managerial accounting. A simple
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


one is “thegeneration of relevant information to support management’s
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


decision- making activities.”
/f/f /f/f /f/f


2. Describethedifferencesbetweenmanagerialandfinancial /f /f /f /f /f /f


accounting(Unit 1.1)
/f/f /f/f


Managerial accounting’s primary users are managers and decision makers within /f/f /f/f /f/f /f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


an organization, whereas financial accounting is aimed primarily at external
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


users. Unlike GAAP that guides financial accounting, there are no
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


mandated rules in managerial accounting. Managerial accounting reports
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


focus on operating segments, while financialaccounting statements report
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f /f/f /f/f


results for the organization as a whole. Managerial accounting is
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


concerned more with projecting future results than reporting past results.
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


Managerial information is prepared to take advantage of a window of
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


opportunity, evenif some accuracy must be sacrificed. Financial accounting
/f/f /f/f /f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


information is balanced to the penny and is delivered after the end of the
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f / f / f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


accounting period.

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


Planning means setting a direction for the organization. Long-term, or
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


strategic planningprovides direction for a five- to ten-year period. Short-
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


term or operational planning provides more detailed guidance for the
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


coming year; it translates the company’s strategy into action steps. Controlling
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


is the monitoring of day-to-day operations to identify any problems that
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


require corrective action. Evaluating is the process of comparing a
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


particular period’s actual results to planned results, for the purpose of
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


assessing managerial performance. Decision making means choosing
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


between alternative courses of action.
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


4. Explain how the selection of a particular business strategy /f/ /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


determines theinformation that managers need to run
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


an organization effectively (Unit 1.2)
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


To run a business effectively, managers need information that shows
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


how well operations are meeting the organization’s strategic goals. For
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


instance, if the organization’s strategy is to be a low-cost producer,
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


information about product costsand cost variances will be more useful
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


to managers than information about researchand development.

5. Discusstheimportance ofethical behavior inmanagerial
/f /f /f/f /f /f/f /f/f /f


accounting (Unit1.3)
/f/f /f/f


Ethical behavior means knowing right from wrong and then doing the right thing.
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


Manycompanies and most professional organizations have codes of conduct
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


to guide employees’ actions. Acting unethically can lead to illegal activity
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


and ultimately to the destruction of the firm. Furthermore, research has shown
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


that a public commitment toethical behavior can lead to superior financial
/f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f /f/f


performance.
