Assignment Prompt & Instructions
**TOPICS:**
The following topics are provided for you to choose from:
1. Activity-Based-Accounting
2. History of Managerial Accounting
3. Process Costing
4. Job Costing
5. Cost/Volume/Profit Analysis

12. Efficiency Ratio Analysis

14. Centralization versus Decentralization in a Global Industry
Between the beginning of the term and Week 3, you will select one of these topics to cover. You may cover it from a position of arguing for or against a topic, the evolution of a topic, how that topic is used within a industry (you would select a company within an industry to cover), or how to demonstrate the topic. For example:
· Arguing for or against a topic: Question: Is ABC still a value-added exercise?
· The evolution of a topic: The History of Managerial Accounting
· How the topic is used in an industry: The use of liquidity ratio analysis: a comparison between Ford Motor Company and the Automotive Industry in general.
· How to demonstrate the topic: Developing a capital budget for a particular capital asset: Decision-making through capital budget models.
**TIMELINE:**
Once you have selected the topic and title, submit that into your Week 3 submission. You must receive approval of the topic prior to moving forward.
Between Weeks 3 and 6, you will develop a draft of your project term paper. This should be a working draft that allows me to review and provide feedback of your project.
Between Weeks 6 and 8, you will finalize your project term paper and develop a minimum slide deck (1 cover slide and at least 1 reference slide) on your topic. You will record a 5 minute overview presentation from your final paper.
**TERM PAPER REQUIREMENTS:**
Term paper will be a minimum of 7 double-spaced pages. There is a separate cover sheet and reference sheet that is not included in the minimum requirements. No Table of Contents is required.
As you have control over the viewpoint of a topic, there is no set template in word that applies to all ways to discuss a topic. However, it must be organized with an Introduction and Conclusion or Summary of your paper. Develop appropriate headers to separate your topical discussions with the paper.
Use Times New Roman, 12-pt. font. Follow APA 7th edition. This will provide you with the appropriate header development, in-text citations, and your reference list.
Sources: You will need to provide a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources. You may use your textbook; however, that is not considered one of the 5 sources. You cannot use Wikipedia, Investopedia, Technopedia or online course books or sources (Accountingtools.com). I will not give you credit for these sources. If you have questions, you can refer to [Scholar.google.com](http://scholar.google.com/) or the Library for assistance.
