Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe an integrated approach we have used in designing a comprehensive review or assessment question connecting managerial accounting topics by emphasizing the consistent application of cost behavior. Students may consider the materials covered in the course in a standalone and fragmented manner. Our goal is to establish a connection between the topics and demonstrate that all the topics covered in the course have a common purpose of providing useful and relevant information for management decision making by presenting two independently developed but consistent approaches to comprehensive questions.
