Content

The lectures teaches the standard elements of full cost accounting (cost type, cost center and cost unit accounting) in connection with short-term profit and loss accounting. Based on the deficiencies of traditional full cost accounting, it discusses partial cost accounting (with a focus on profit and contribution margin accounting). It concludes with references to selected (varying) business-administration topics such as price management and benchmarking (including presentation of activity-based costing as a cost accounting tool for dealing with overhead costs).
