ivIn memory of Charles T. Horngren 19262011Chuck Horngren revolutionized cost and managementaccounting. He loved newideas and introduced many new concepts. He had the unique gift of explaining theseconcepts in simple and creative ways. He epitomized excellence and never tiredof details, whether it was finding exactly the right wordor working and reworking assignment materials.He combined his great intellect with genuine humility and warmth and a humantouch that inspired others to do their best. He taught us many lessons aboutlife through his amazing discipline, his ability to make everyonefeel welcome, and his love of family.It was a great privilege, pleasure, and honor to have knownChuck Horngren. Few individuals will have the enormous influence thatChuck had on the accounting profession. Fewer still will be able to do it with theclass and style that was his hallmark. He was unique, special, and amazingin many, many ways and, at once, a role model, teacher, mentor, and friend.He will be deeply missed.Srikant M. DatarHarvard UniversityMadhavV.

viiALTERNATIVE SUGGESTED CHAPTER SEQUENCESThe Preface toCost Accountingnoted that our aim in organizing the material was to present amodular, flexible organization that permits a course to be custom tailored. This section presentssix possible sequences for a first course in cost accounting. For each of these six sequences,wealso present the sequence of a second course that would result in coverage of many or all of thetopics inCost Accounting. Outlines IV all include Chapters 1 to 9 in varying orders of sequence.Outline VI has a strong (almost exclusive) focus on thedecision making role of cost accounting.We analyzed the sequences of chapters assigned by many users of the16thedition. Although manyinstructors tended to follow the sequence in the text, other instructors tailored sequences to fit theirparticular desires. These tailored sequences varied considerably. By far the most popular departurewas to assign the chapter onprocess costing (Chapter 18) immediately after the coverage of jobcosting (Chapter 4) and activity-based costing (Chapter 5). The next most popular departure wasto assign Chapter 10 after Chapter 2 or 3. All the accompanying alternative assignment scheduleshave an optional provision to facilitate tailoring a course. Obviously, instructors should alter anysuggested sequence to suit their preferences.OUTLINE I: This basic course provides a balance of topics between the major purposes of costaccounting:1.Calculating the cost of products, services, and other cost objects2.Obtaining information for planning and control and performance evaluation3.Analyzing relevant information for making decisionsFinishing the first course with Chapters 12and 13means that topics with less procedural emphasisare highlighted in the last weeks of the course; these two chapters also introduce topics covered inmore detail in a second course. Some instructors may assign Chapter 10 without using theAppendix on “Regression Analysis,” preferring to delay use of the Appendix until the secondcourse (especially if many students have not been exposed to regression analysis at the time of thebasic course).Chapter 11 covers data science applications to management accounting. Instructorsmay choose to cover this in the first or the second course.OUTLINE II: This basic course covers the same chapters as Outline I but assigns Chapter 10(Determining How Costs Behaves) immediately after Chapter 3 (Cost Volume-Profit Analysis). Italsoreplaces Chapter 14 on Pricing Decisions and Cost Management withChapter 13on Strategy,Balanced Scorecard, and Strategic Profitability Analysis. This first part of thesecondcourseemphasizes costmanagementandperformance evaluationbefore covering the six chapters (1521) on cost allocation and other aspects of costing systems.OUTLINE III:After covering Chapters 1 to 9 and 12in the basic course, this sequence finisheswith a chapter on strategic issues (Chapter 13) and two chapters on cost allocation topics (Chapters15and 16). Some instructors view it as important that studentswho takeonly one cost accountingcourse become aware of how pervasive cost allocation issues are in practice.

viiiOUTLINE IV: This basic course is similar to Outline II with one key exception:Chapter 18(Process Costing) is covered immediately after Chapter 5. Many instructors prefer to cover jobcosting and process costing in sequence so that their differences are highlighted.OUTLINE V: This basic course emphasizes technical cost accounting topicsand data analysismore than the other five outlines. Chapters 18and 19extend Chapters 4 and 5; covering 4, 5, 18,and 19as a single section of the course provides students with a solid understanding of productcosting alternatives.OUTLINE VI: This basic course is adopted by instructors who wish to put most emphasis on thedecision making and performance evaluation aspects of cost accounting. Finishing the basic coursewith Chapters 23and 24means that behavioral issues are highlighted in the final weeks of thecourse.

xxviiPRESENTATION OF SOLUTIONSInstructors have a variety of viewsregarding the use of classroom time for homework solutions.Most instructors put solutions on a blackboard or an overhead projector. In turn, their studentsfrantically copy the materials in their notes. Our practice is to reproduce the printed homeworksolutions for distribution either before, during, or after the discussion for a particular solution. Themembers of the class are glad to pay a modest fee to the school to cover the reproduction costs. Inthis way, students can spend more of their classroomtime in thinking rather than writing. Further,they have a complete set of notes.Some instructors object to this procedure because it provides students with afilethat can bepassed along to subsequent classes. Students in subsequent classes will then use thefileto avoidconscientious preparation of homework. We used to worry about such practices, but long ago,wedecided there would always be some students who hurt themselves by not doing homework in anappropriate way. Why shouldwe penalizethe vast majority of students by withholding the printedsolutions? The benefits of using printed solutions clearly outweigh the costs. We no longer fretabout the few students who beat the system (and themselves).Moreover, schools using MyAccounting Lab can have new problems assigned to students where the problem structure is thesame but the numbers are different.Similarly, we distribute printed solutions to tests and examinations along with a summary ofoverall class performance. We do not devote class time to discussing these solutions. The studentsdeserve feedback, but they have sufficient motivation to scrutinize the printed solutions and checktheir errors on an individual basis. In this way,more class time is available for new material.If students have complaints about grades, we usually ask them to cool off for 24 hours and thentosubmit a written analysis of how they were unjustly treated. We then take these complaints inbatches, regrade the papers, and return the papers. If the student then wants to have a person-to-person discussion of the matter, he or she is welcome at our office. This procedure may seemtoo impersonal, but we recommend it to those teachers who have been through some painfuldebates that have been inefficient andfrustrating for both student and teacher.

xxviiiMAJOR CHANGES IN TEXT OF THE17THEDITIONIncreased Focus on Merchandising and Service SectorsIn keeping with the shifts in the U.S. and world economy, this edition makes great use ofmerchandising and service sector examples, with corresponding de-emphasis of traditionalmanufacturing settings. For example,Chapter 10 illustrates linear cost functions in the context ofpayments for cloud computing services. Chapter 11 describes revenue management using big-data analytics at a company investing in loans.Chapter 21highlights inventory management inretail organizations and uses an example based onaseller of sunglasses. Chapter 22incorporatesa running example that looks at capital budgeting in the context of a transportation company.Several Concepts in Action boxes focus on the merchandising and service sectors, includingachieving cost leadership atCostco(Chapter 1), reducing fixed costs atLyft(Chapter 2), usingactivity-based costing to reduce the costs of health care delivery at the Mayo Clinic (Chapter 5),developing Internet-based budgeting at P. F. Chang’s(Chapter 6),analyzing operating incomeperformance at Buffalo Wild Wings (Chapter 13), and Facebook’s work to overcome mobiledata bottlenecks (Chapter 20).Greater Emphasis on SustainabilityThis edition places significant emphasis on sustainability as one of the criticalmanagerialchallenges of the coming decades. Many managers are promoting the development andimplementation of strategies to achieve long-term financial, social, and environmentalperformance as key imperatives. We highlight this in Chapter 1 and return tothe theme inseveralsubsequent chapters. Chapter 13discusses the benefits to companies from measuringsocial and environmental performance and how such measures can be incorporated ina balancedscorecard. Chapter 24provides several examples of companies that mandate disclosures andevaluate managers on environmental and social metrics. A variety of chapters, includingChapters 2, 6, 10, 14, and 22, contain material that stress themes of recognizing and accountingfor environmental costs;energy independence;setting stretch targets to motivate greater carbonreductions;using cost analysis, carbon tax, and cap-and-trade auctions to reduce environmentalfootprints;and constructing “green” homes in a cost-effective manner.Focus on InnovationWe discuss the role of accounting concepts and systems in fostering and supporting innovationand entrepreneurial activities in firms. In particular, we discuss the challenges posed byrecognizing R&D costs as period expenses even though the benefits of innovation accrue in laterperiods. In Chapter 6, we describe how companies budget for innovation expenses and developmeasures to monitor success of the innovation efforts delinked from operational performance inthe current period. Chapter 12presents theimportance of nonfinancial measures when makingdecisions about innovation. Chapter14stresses that innovation starts with understandingcustomer needs,while Chapter 20discusses process innovations for improving quality.Many ofthe organizations used in “Concepts in Action” emphasize innovation (e.g., Lyft, Chapter 2;Mayo Clinic, Chapter 5; Facebook, Chapter 20). The running examples used in Chapter 2 andChapter 20 focus on an innovative company (Tesla) and an innovative product (3D printers).

xxixNew Cutting-Edge TopicsThe pace of change in organizations continues to be rapid. Theseventeenthedition ofCostAccountingreflects changes occurring in the role of cost accounting in organizations.We have added new material and a new Chapter 11 to explain recent trends in big data anddata analytics to manage revenues and predict costs. Companies are increasingly looking formanagement accountants who can interface with data scientists.We haveintroduced sustainability strategies and the methods companies use to implementsustainability and business goals.We describe ideas based on academic research regarding the weightsplacedon performancemeasures in a balanced scorecard. We have a section on methods to evaluate strategy mapssuch as the strength of links, differentiators, focal points, and trigger points.Weprovidedetails on the transfer pricing strategies used by multinational technology firmssuch as Apple and Google to minimize income taxes.We discuss current trends in the regulation of executive compensation.We describe the evolution of enterprise resource planning systems and newer simplifiedcosting systems that practice lean accounting.Opening VignettesEach chapter opens with a vignette on a real company situation. The vignettes engage the readerin a business situation or dilemma, illustrating why and how the concepts in the chapter arerelevant in business. For example, Chapter 2 describes howteen apparel chain Aeropostalewasdriven into bankruptcy by the relatively high proportion of fixed costs in its operations. Chapter5 explains the use of activity-based costing byIBMto evaluatethe true cost of data breaches.Chapter 9 highlightsUnder Armor’suse of a new internal company system to better manage itsinventory and supply chain with efficiency and precision toreduceinventory costs. Chapter 15shows howStarbuckschanged its rewardsprogramto better align rewards with customerspending. Chapter 19shows the impact onTeslaof the rework costs associated witha drasticramp-up of production to meet unprecedented customer demand. Chapter 24describes themisalignment between performance measurement and pay atGeneral Electric.Concepts in Action BoxesFound inevery chapter, these boxes cover real-world cost accounting issues across a variety ofindustries, including defense contracting, entertainment, manufacturing, retailing, and sports.New examples include:Cost Leadership at Costco: Rock-Bottom Prices and Sky-High Profits (Chapter 1)CanCostVolumeProfit AnalysisHelp Whole Foods Escape the “Whole Paycheck” Trap?(Chapter 3)P. F. Chang’s and Internet-Based Budgeting (Chapter 6)CanESPN Avoid the Cord-Cutting “Death Spiral”? (Chapter 9)ZaraUses Target Pricing toBecome the World’s Largest Fashion Retailer (Chapter 14)Big Data Joint-Products and Byproducts Create New Business Opportunities(Chapter 17)
