You can apply whatever you have learned so far to real life. For example, you can give suggestions on how to improve the company’s current costing method or analyzing why the current costing method is suitable for the company. Other topics include CVP analysis, cost behavior, value chain, budget, performance evaluation, and so on.
Please use real companies as examples. You can search data from internet (you can financial statements on www.sec.gov, search company filings) or data of the company you work for. Note that financial statements are for external users, so they don’t have information such as cost behavior. You can make up some numbers or do a what-if analysis.
PS: I will send you the powerpoint you need with the tools you need to use. So you can apply them the same way they are applied in the PPT.
