Learning outcomes of the course unit
Skills: The student will be able to recognise the possibilities and restrictions of individual means of classifying costs in terms of their predictive abilities from the point of view of the manager taking into account the specifics of the business entity. They realize the possibility of cost management and understand the connection between cost classification, calculations and their linkage to budgets.
Skills: On both theoretical and practical levels, they acquire the knowledge necessary for determining the structure of costs in calculations, and choose the calculation techniques and systems – all with reference to the specifics or possibilities of the enterprise, or respectively the field of business.
They will learn to produce simplified long-term and short-term budgets and budget overheads including means of monitoring them.
Abilities: Students can produce a calculation formula with regard to the specific needs of the enterprise and using the appropriate technique allocate budget overheads to calculation unit/quantity, can produce simplified long-term and short-term budgets, and are able to check the implementation of the budget using monitoring methods selected with regard to the specific features of the company.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge from the field of financial accounting (principles of accounting, fundamentals of accounting both in general and at the level of specific accounting cases, knowledge of financial statements), general knowledge of microeconomics (fixed and variable costs) and the economics of enterprises (own costs, full costs of own performance, cost price, market price).
Co-requisites
Not applicable.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course contains lectures that explain basic principles, problems and methodology of the discipline, and exercises that promote the practical knowledge of the subject presented in the lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Examination requirements:
Knowledge is tested in an oral examination.
Students will only be admitted to the examination who have applied and have the credit entered in IS.
The examination involves responding to two open questions, which the examiner gives the students in writing. The student has time to prepare these, which they can do also in writing (essential is the capacity for practical application) and then they present this orally to the examiner …….. 60%
The resulting assessment of the course is the sum of the assessment of the seminars and the examination. The assessment is classified according to the ECTS scale.
