Semester 1, 2021
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
This assignment is worth 30% of your total mark.
Submission is due at 11:30pm on 30th May 2021.
In this course, we have focused on developing your understanding of the elements of management accounting, which provides organisations with relevant cost-related information to assist with their planning, controlling and decision-making. You will examine the process of identifying, determining, classifying, analysing and allocating costs to products and services. This assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate and apply your understanding of product design and costing in a practical manner.
We have acknowledged that the global business environment has been more competitive than ever before, especially in the rapid advancement of information technology and the unprecedented level of globalisation and financial market integration. To survive and prosper in such rapidly changing world, businesses must keep up the capacity to innovate products and services, and to manage resources effectively and efficiently
This assignment requires your group (up to 3 members) to develop and design a product (not service) of your choice. It might be an existing product that your take on with necessary improvement OR a new product that does not exist in the market. You need to undertake R&D activities to determine the design, characteristics and functions of your product, calculate the related upstream and downstream costs, and provide an explanation as to why you want to produce this product. Then, you need to identify and determine your product’s production and downstream costs for 1,000 units manufactured. You also need to determine the price of your product and how it will be marketed. Finally, a presentation is required to provide information about your product and how your product can attract potential customers to make profit.
Please confirm your product in the google doc, which is available on the Moodle shell, by the end of week 7.

5.b. During June, the cost of your beginning work in process was $5,000, and ending was $10,000. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured using a cost of goods manufactured statement/schedule (for 1,000 units of your product) in June.
5.c. During June, the cost of your beginning finished goods was $20,000 and ending finished goods equalled $10,000. Prepare a cost of goods sold statement for the month of June for 1,000 units produced and sold to customers.

Submission Instruction:
This assignment is to be submitted online only. (You are not required to submit a hard copy)
The completed assignment must be submitted into the allocated area, Assignment Dropbox, on Moodle on or before the due date. Only one submission per group is required, i.e. only one student submits on behalf of all other group members.
Please do not attempt to submit multiple versions of your assignment work as this will cause high similarity in Turnitin report and may affect your final score.
You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has been returned to you. In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced, you will need to submit your backup copy.
Any work you submit will be checked by Turtnitin for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism.
Assessment Feedback:
Students who submit their work by the due date will receive their marks and feedback on Moodle within 15 working days of the assignment submission due date.
Marking Rubric, Dispute Resolution and Free Riders:
Marking Rubric is available in Moodle as a formal guideline for the expected outcomes of the assignment requirements above.
The marking will be done for the group not on individual basis. Each group member is awarded the same mark.
Working in groups has its pros and cons. It is beneficial that you can learn a lot by discussing the issues with your fellow students. Invariably different group members bring different skills to a project; it is up to you to make the best of it. If you find your group members are “not pulling their weight” or there are problems with any member’s commitment, please try to resolve those issues amongst yourselves. Open and honest communication always helps.
If you are unable to resolve these issues, you are most welcome to see your lecturer and tutor. We will try to sort out the problems together. Do this as soon as possible and certainly before the due date. In case of any dispute among the group members or if there are any free riders identified in the group, members should report to your lecturer in writing.
