Discussion 1  Allocating Joint Costs

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ postings.  Respond to at least two of your classmates by asking a question to challenge their recommended allocation method.   Support your question and/or comments with evidence from the text or external sources.

 

Discussion 2 Variable/Absorption Costing

As you read in Chapter 8, there are arguments (for and against) variable costing and absorption costing. Select one of these costing methods and explore the various arguments.  Determine whether you are “for” or “against” this selected method. Provide evidence from the text to support your position. Your initial post should be 200-250 words.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ postings. Respond to at least two of your classmates who explored a different costing method than your own by stating whether you agree or disagree with their position. Be sure to include cited support/examples to clarify your point of view.
