Cost Accounting: Decision Making

The Technical University of Munich focuses on the decisions supported by cost information. Cost functions lead into volume-profit relationships and operational choices. It is an intermediate continuation for learners who already understand product costing and basic profit calculations.

What you will learn

• Explain how costs behave as activity changes.
• Analyze a cost-volume-profit relationship.
• Identify relevant cost and revenue information for an operational choice.

Who this suits

Learners with basic cost accounting, including product or service costing and profit-and-loss calculation.

Before you enroll

Those foundations are required. Check the assumptions behind a simplified cost function before extending an exercise to a setting with capacity limits or changing prices.
