Calculations and Budgeting

FP-rkPAcad. year: 2023/2024

The course focuses on the value processes associated with individual business units, focusing on the area of ​​budgeting and budgets (rigid and flexible), where I had students gain theoretical and practical skills to handle budgets, long-term, short-term budgets and overheads. The core subject areas are costing, and costing theory and practice of costing - cost business relationship to the cost of individual performances, transformation costs in the budgeting and accounting (generic costs) and the structure calculation (direct and indirect costs) and the structure capacitance (variable and fixed costs). They go through both traditional and modern approaches in calculations...

Aims

The aim of the course is to introduce students with issue of nternal departments, with in-house costs in connection with corporate expenses, intercompany profit by internal revenue, internal calculations and creation of internal predation price relationships between species and costing breakdown of costs (transition table), calculation of the full cost, standardized method of calculation, calculation of incomplete cost (method of variable costs, contribution margin method) and dynamic calculations.
Students will understand the importance and the need for budgeting and costing from the management perspective and consistency in economic activity within the company. Students will understand the theory of budgets and calculations in relation to practical examples. After completing the course, students will be able to evaluate the results of operations, find lacks, propose solutions, substantiate the results of operations and business process view of the future.

Syllabus

  1. Introduction to the subject, review of basic concepts - quiz questions - activity with gamification elements (week 1)
  2. Calculation examples to practise calculation methods - calculations by simple division, calculations with ratio numbers. The assignment of the examples reflects the situation in a specific ABC company and the emphasis is on comparing the use of different calculation methods. Calculation system and demonstration of its use in a case study of a specific company. (Week 3)
  3. Calculation examples to practice calculation methods - HRS method, Incremental Calculation. Assignment of examples in the form of a case study reflecting the situation in one of the economic centres of the manufacturing company ABC s.r.o. Emphasis will be placed on comparing the advantages and disadvantages of a particular calculation method.
  4. Calculation examples to practise calculation methods - Stepwise calculation, phase calculation - example with the same assignment to clearly distinguish between the two methods and justification. A case study on the use of variable costing with a one-step reimbursement allowance, then the use of a two-step allowance when modifying the assignment and highlighting the practical use of reimbursement allowances and its important position within incomplete costing. (Week 9)
  5. A case study reflecting a comparison of traditional and modern budgeting methods, including the calculation of variances, the design of corrective measures and an assessment of the real impact of the chosen measures on the economic situation of the enterprise. Application of the brainstorming method and expert discussion of the specific economic situation of the enterprise in the context of the design of corrective measures.
