Comparative Analysis Managerial and Financial Accounting

Based on your work through this course, you have been exposed to Managerial and Financial Accounting. Using your work to date, compare and contrast financial accounting and managerial accounting. This should be a two-page analysis following APA guidelines and appropriate citations. • Consider the concept of breakeven analysis and target income. In order to apply breakeven analysis, why would the expenses reported in external financial reports need to be reorganized into categories based on cost behavior? How do these analytical tools relate to product pricing and cost management (i.e., why would this analysis be useful to management)? • Why would a company seek to position its products as low-priced or high-priced items in the marketplace? How might this affect sales dollars, sales volume, and profits? • Search and review your course materials for pricing strategies. Search specifically for the word pricing. Summarize the concepts and issues from the course materials. Explain the interrelationships with accounting, information systems, and sales, marketing, and profit planning.
