Preface
iii
The eighth edition of Hansen & Mowen’s Managerial Accounting introduces students to the fundamentals of management accounting. Though it is assumed that students have been introduced to the basics of financial accounting, extensive knowledge of financial accounting is not needed. The emphasis is on the use of accounting information in today’s business environment, so this text provides coverage of the most cutting edge topics and developments in the field. Thus, the text should be of value to students with a variety of backgrounds. Although written to serve undergraduates, the text has been used successfully at the graduate level. There is sufficient variety in the assignment material to accommodate both undergraduate and graduate students. Many business school students who are required to take a course in management accounting are not accounting majors. For these students, it is often difficult to appreciate the value of the concepts being taught. Managerial Accounting, 8e, overcomes this attitude by using introductory chapter scenarios based on real-world settings, photos illustrating practical applications of management accounting concepts, and realistic examples illustrating the concepts within the chapters. Seeing that effective management requires a sound understanding of how to use accounting information should pique the interests of both accounting and nonaccounting majors. One major area of improvement for this edition has been to enhance the quality and quantity of end-of-chapter material. As a result of extensive focused reviewing and analysis, the end-of-chapter material now offers several activities by level of difficulty for each learning objective to ensure that students will have plenty of opportunity to practice the concepts they learn in the chapter. The end-of-chapter activities are unmatched by any text on the market. We are confident that this innovative managerial accounting text will prepare your students to perform at their best. The new edition will ensure stronger student performance and ongoing satisfaction with your managerial accounting course.
NEW Features of the Eighth Edition The eighth edition now offers even more to ensure you and your students experience a higher level of performance in managerial accounting, including:
The Most Current Coverage of Contemporary Topics. A new entire chapter on Activity-Based Management (Chapter 5), a new chapter covering Lean Accounting (Chapter 16), and a new appendix on Joint Product Costing (after Chapter 7) in this edition dedicate significant attention to the most current issues in managerial accounting today. New materials on simplifying ABC are also introduced in Chapter 4.
Streamlined, Reorganized Table of Contents. We have streamlined, reorganized, and carefully tailored this edition’s contents to reflect the way your students best learn contemporary and traditional managerial accounting topics. Special topics are now grouped together in the last part of the text to enhance understanding. Variety and Strength in End-of-Chapter Problems and Exercises. Based on detailed reviewer feedback, exercises and problems now offer more variety and are clearly classified both by level of difficulty and by corresponding learning objectives for your ease in selecting appropriate assignments for each class. All endof-chapter materials directly correspond to AACSB and CMA standards to ensure student comprehension and positive outcomes. Furthermore, there are a significant number of new and revised exercises and problems in each chapter.
iii
Connection throughout Chapter-Opening Scenarios. New chapter-opener cases now introduce a fictional company that is referenced throughout each chapter to connect and illustrate major chapter concepts. These cases provide a focused look at how each chapter’s managerial accounting concepts apply to today’s business world. New! Ethical Insights Boxes. Important ethical concepts capture student interest, assist in retaining critical managerial accounting topics, and show students how to learn from ethical dilemmas as they prepare for CPA and CMA exams. These are identified by a marginal icon. New! Managers Decide Decision-Making Boxes. This edition’s new emphasis on decision-making throughout each chapter challenges students to apply what they learn in a decision context and shows the relevance of managerial accounting concepts to the real business world. NEW! ThomsonNOW™ for Managerial Accounting. This outcomes-driven, integrated online learning and course management system provides the ultimate in flexibility and ease of use with the results you want NOW to support your course goals and ensure positive student performance. You’ll save time as you efficiently teach and reinforce content with an integrated eBook, interactive learning tools, and personalized study plans; test with an algorithmic test bank; and grade results based on AACSB and CMA accreditation standards.
Hallmark Features We have also retained those features that have made this text successful through seven editions:
Integrated Strategic Cost Management Concepts. An emphasis on budgeting, ABM, and decentralization keeps materials relevant and prepares today’s students for situations they will encounter.
Unique Environmental Cost Management Chapter. Introduce your students to the emerging field of environmental cost management with new, actual examples that demonstrate the value of environmental cost management as they show how managers can reduce costs by implementing environmentally conscious processes. New E-Commerce Coverage in First Chapter. A new section presented early in this edition (within Chapter 1) overviews the impact of e-commerce on today’s management accounting issues. Integrated Strategic Cost Management Concepts. An emphasis throughout this edition on budgeting, ABM, and decentralization keeps the materials relevant to situations encountered in the business world.
Integrated Coverage of Contemporary and Traditional Topics. This edition introduces the latest costing techniques alongside more traditional topics to help students see the advantages and disadvantages of a traditional cost management system versus cost management systems that include practices such as ABC, ABM, target costing, and the Balanced Scorecard. Coverage of both traditional and contemporary topics helps ensure that students are well prepared to work in a variety of business environments.
Integrated Use of Spreadsheets. To accurately reflect industry practice, this edition illustrates key managerial techniques, such as regression, using spreadsheets rather than cumbersome manual calculations.
International Coverage. A full chapter (Chapter 18) highlighting international iv
issues, as well as numerous international examples integrated throughout the text, emphasizes the critical importance of this topic.
Simplified Budgeting Coverage. A simpler example more clearly illustrates important budgeting concepts in this edition. Least Squares Regression Manual Computation. Coverage of manual computation of regression coefficients helps students understand the technical and theoretical concepts underlying ordinary least squares analysis.
Ethics Coverage. As with previous editions, the eigthth edition emphasizes the study of ethical conduct for management accountants. The role of ethics is discussed in Chapter 1, and the Statement of Ethical Professional Conduct developed by the Institute of Management Accountants is introduced. The impact of the SarbanesOxley Act and its ethics requirements for publicly traded companies is discussed. Chapter 1 has several substantive problems on ethics, and subsequent chapters have at least one problem or case involving an ethical dilemma. These problems allow the instructor to introduce value judgments into management accounting decision making. Chapter 14, dealing with international issues in management accounting, also has a section that discusses ethics in the international environment. Real-World Emphasis. The eighth edition incorporates real-world applications of management accounting concepts, making the study of these concepts more familiar and interesting to the student. Real-company examples are incorporated throughout. Names of real companies are highlighted throughout the text for easy identification and are listed in a company index at the back of the text. Photos are included to help students relate to the real-world nature of management accounting.
Increased Coverage of Service Industry. Service businesses are experiencing unprecedented growth in today’s economy. Managers of service businesses often use the same management accounting models as manufacturers, but they must adapt them to their own unique situations of providing intangibles to consumers. To address this need, many service industry applications are included in the eighth edition. In addition, many real-company examples of service businesses are given.
Chapter Organization and Structure Each chapter is carefully structured to help students focus on important concepts and retain them. Components found in each chapter include:
Learning Objectives. Each chapter begins with a set of learning objectives to guide students in their study of the chapter. These objectives outline the organizational flow of the chapter and serve as points of comprehension and evaluation. Learning objectives are tied to specific sections of topic coverage within the chapter. They are repeated in the margin at the beginning of the corresponding chapter coverage and are summarized at the end of the chapter. Summary of Learning Objectives. Each chapter concludes with a comprehensive summary of the learning objectives. Students can review and test their knowledge of key concepts and evaluate their ability to complete chapter objectives. Scenario. An interesting, real-world scenario opens each chapter. The scenario ties directly to concepts covered in the chapter and helps students relate chapter topics to actual business happenings. “Questions to Think About,” critical-thinking questions that appear at the end of each scenario, are designed to pique student interest in the chapter and stimulate class discussion.
Key Terms. Throughout each chapter, key terms appear in bold font for quick identification. A list of key terms, with page references, is presented at the end of each chapter to provide additional reinforcement. All key terms are defined in a comprehensive glossary at the end of the text.
Review Problems. Each chapter contains at least one review problem with the accompanying solution provided. These review problems demonstrate the application of major concepts and procedures covered in the chapter.
v
Questions for Writing and Discussion. Approximately 15 to 25 short-answer questions appear at the end of each chapter to test students’ knowledge of chapter concepts. Many of the questions call for students to use critical thinking and written and oral communication skills. Several questions can be used to stimulate class participation and discussion. Exercises and Problems. Exercises and problems are correlated by learning objectives, listed in the margin below the exercise and problem titles. A document showing correlations of each end of chapter activity by level of difficulty, learning objective, and AACSB and CMA learning outcomes standards is available on the free website. Exercises and problems adapted from past CMA exams are designated with a margin icon. Exercises. Exercises usually emphasize one or two chapter concepts and can be completed fairly quickly (30 minutes maximum). Exercises require basic application and computation and often ask students to interpret and explain their results.
Problems. Each chapter contains many end-of-chapter problems, with varying degrees of length and difficulty. Problems usually have more than one issue and present challenging situations, complex computations, and interpretations.
Managerial Decision Cases. Most chapters contain at least two cases. Cases have greater depth and complexity than problems. They are designed to help students integrate multiple concepts and further develop their analytical skills. Several cases deal with ethical behavior.
Research Assignments. Research assignments appear in all chapters (except Chapter 1), allowing students to expand their research and communication skills beyond the classroom. One research assignment in each chapter, labeled “Cybercase,” requires the student to research information on the Internet.
Check Figures. Key figures for solutions to selected problems and cases are provided at the end of the text as an aid to students as they prepare their answers.
Chapter by Chapter Changes Chapter 1 Added material on Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and ethics requirements for publicly-traded companies. Added section on corporate codes of conduct mandated by SOX.
Chapter 4 New materials on simplifying ABC have been added. Chapter 5 This is a newly named and formed chapter with some new material and some elements previously found in other chapters; consolidating materials pertaining to activity-based management (ABM).
Chapter 6 Major revision due to the combining of two previous chapters on joborder costing and process costing.
Chapter 7 Added appendix on joint product costing. Chapter 10 Combines two previous chapters into one. Includes absorption and variable costing, segmented reporting, investment center performance evaluation, and transfer pricing. Chapter 16 Half of this chapter is brand-new material focusing on lean manufacturing and lean accounting. Value streams, pull manufacturing, lead times, forms and sources of waste, value stream costing, value stream reporting, value stream reporting, and value-stream performance measurement are examples of topics discussed.
