COURSE OBJECTIVES
This first course in managerial accounting introduces students to the use of accounting information
for internal management decision-making. The internal user focus is a notable contrast to the
emphasis in financial accounting of reporting the results of a company’s operations to external users.
The course is designed from the perspective of the general manager, and its primary purpose is to
develop the ability to use rather than to prepare accounting information.
Specifically, this course should help you to
Apply basic cost concepts to develop costing systems that will determine the cost of a
company’s products or services. Accurate cost data is an essential prerequisite for proper
managerial decision-making.
Apply management accounting concepts and techniques in order to make wise choices
between competing alternatives. This requires the ability to extract relevant information
from accounting records, reports or statements, and to properly use this information.
Explain management control systems and utilize these concepts in evaluating the
performance of managers, products, or economic units.
The course will also address the following learning goals:
Ethics: students will be exposed to ethical situations in assigned homework questions and
classroom discussions
Communications: students will be encouraged to participate in classroom discussions and
will be evaluated on written communication on examination papers.
Quantitative methods: students will develop skills in basic quantitative analyses in
assignment homework questions and classroom activities
Critical thinking: students will be expected to determine which decision analyses are
required in various situations, the underlying assumptions and limitations of the analyses,
and what additional information should be considered.

Course Conduct
Students are expected to:
Behave in a courteous and professional manner in all dealings with both their fellow students
and the professor both in and outside of class. Students who exhibit behaviours that detract
from the quality of the class (e.g., regularly arriving late or leaving early, talking to
classmates during class, answering cell phones, obviously reading material unrelated to the
class, listening to iPods, texting, surfing the internet or social media) may be asked to correct
their behaviour, move to another seat, or be asked to leave the classroom.
Complete the text reading prior to class.
Bring e- or hard copies of class materials to follow lecture and take notes.
Review Connect e-book videos of assigned demonstration questions.
Review Self-Study Questions in a timely manner.
Students are encouraged to use a laptop or tablet to take notes during class, but not for other
purposes in class. Students who miss a class and in need of the class notes should copy from
a classmate.
Course / Tutorial Lab
Attendance to the course lab is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED, but attendance is not mandatory.
Attendance may be taken in the lab for purposes of evaluating the usefulness of labs, but will not
affect your grade in the course.
End of Chapter Self-Study Questions
The Connect assignments are NOT sufficient preparation for this course. This course outline
includes a list of self-study questions that should to be done at the end of each chapter. These
questions are designed to allow students to review lecture material and to practice applying
knowledge of each subject area. Solutions of after-chapter problems are provided in the UM
Learn course site. Questions will not be handed in for grading. It is each student’s responsibility
to check their own responses against solutions in detail and to identify areas where improvement is
necessary. “Help Me Solve It Tutorial” videos in Connect/Library/ebook/video can provide
some problem-solving demonstration, which could be helpful. Any persistent difficulties
should be discussed with the instructor during office hours or by email.
Additional chapter specific practice questions of True-False and Multiple-Choice can be
found in Connect/Library/Self-Quiz and Study.
Office Hours
Specific questions by email are welcome. Drop-in basis office hours are listed on the cover page. I
will limit to 15-minute rotation, if there are others waiting in line for assistance. This is to ensure I
can assist as many students on the same day. Extended office hours on drop-in basis will be
announced in UM Learn course site when an examination is near.
Winter 2018 ACC 1110 Course Outline Page 5 of 12
Examinations
Students are allowed to bring one 8.5-inch by 11-inch sheet, handwritten on both sides, into the
midterm and the final examination. Write your name and the last four digits of U of M student
ID on the upper right hand corner of the sheet. It is necessary to submit this sheet with the
examination. Cell phones are not permitted. You must bring your student ID card to the
exam. A driver licence is not sufficient to prove your student status to write an examination
with the University of Manitoba.
There is no make-up midterm examination. In all cases of midterm absence, the instructor
should be advised with 7 calendar days of the examination date and receive suitable
documentation. Students who miss the midterm examination for legitimate reasons (medical
compassionate, or university sports team travel) and provide suitable documentation in time will
have the weight of midterm exam put on the final exam. Note that a conflict with employment is
not an excused absence considered by the University.
In case of a midterm conflict with another course of our university, students should ask the
instructor of the other course if there is a deferred midterm, if not, be prepared to write back-to-
back midterm examinations of both courses on the same date.
Students who miss the final examination must apply to the Undergraduate Program Office, Room
268 Drake, for possible deferred examination privileges.

ABC and Budget Group Assignments
Both assignments are to be done in teams using Excel functions and templates provided. Save
your final team work in the Excel Workbook before submitting in the Dropbox on UM Learn
course website. Late, individual, or in-person paper-based submissions will not be accepted.
Marks will be lost for not using the Excel template format provided. Toward the end of term, a
peer evaluation form will be provided for students who wish to fill out. Individual score of each
assignment will be adjusted accordingly to compute the end-of-term course grade. Teams will be
assigned by the instructor when the registration revision period is over.
It is suggested that you make a copy of your answer to check against the answer key. For both
assignments, the credit is based on having certain check figures correct.
Mandatory Connect Assignments for the 10th CE
You will receive full credit of 2% on each assignment when you score 100% or higher. When
scoring less than 100% on a Connect assignment, weighted credit is calculated according to your
actual score on the assignment. For example, if you received 80% on Connect Assignment 1, your
weighted credit is 2% x 80 = 1.6% of course grade. Be advised that you MUST hit “SUBMIT”
to submit the assignment to Connect: it is not submitted automatically. Late assignments are
not accepted.
Letter Grades
When all scores are in after the final exam, letter grades are then determined based on distribution.
In the past, the weighted course average has been in C or C+ range.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
It is critical to the reputation of the I.H. Asper School of Business and of our
degrees that everyone associated with our faculty behaves with the highest
academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and government
leaders, we have a special obligation to ensure that our ethical standards are
beyond reproach. Any dishonesty in our academic transactions violates this trust.
The University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar addresses the issue of
academic dishonesty under the heading “Plagiarism and Cheating.” Specifically,
acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to: using the exact words of a published or unpublished author without quotation marks and
without referencing the source of these words
duplicating a table, graph or diagram, in whole or in part, without referencing the source
paraphrasing the conceptual framework, research design, interpretation, or any other ideas
of another person, whether written or verbal (e.g., personal communications, ideas from a
verbal presentation) without referencing the source
copying the answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment
providing answers to another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment
taking any unauthorized materials into an examination or term test (crib notes)
impersonating another student or allowing another person to impersonate oneself for the
purpose of submitting academic work or writing any test or examination
stealing or mutilating library materials
accessing tests prior to the time and date of the sitting
changing name or answer(s) on a test after that test has been graded and returned
submitting the same paper or portions thereof for more than one assignment, without
discussions with the instructors involved.
Group Projects and Group Work
Many courses in the I.H. Asper School of Business require group projects. Students should be
aware that group projects are subject to the same rules regarding academic dishonesty. Because
of the unique nature of group projects, all group members should exercise special care to insure
that the group project does not violate the policy on Academic Integrity. Should a violation
occur, group members are jointly accountable unless the violation can be attributed to a specific
individual(s).
Some courses, while not requiring group projects, encourage students to work together in groups
(or at least do not prohibit it) before submitting individual assignments. Students are encouraged
to discuss this issue as it relates to academic integrity with their instructor to avoid violating this
policy.
In the I.H. Asper School of Business, all suspected cases of academic dishonesty are passed to
the Dean’s office in order to ensure consistency of treatment.
