This is a very basic course straight out of an undergraduate managerial accounting course. I doubt any CPA would have a need for this course. It would be helpful for a non-accountant, such as a Sales Manager however. The lecturer mentioned that he had many years of business experience, yet the course was simply an undergraduate study of Relevant Costing. The course would have been much better had he brought in some of his real life experiences in this area.

Good reminder that you need to look at all relevant costs when making decisions. I liked the examples used during the class for the different types of decisions - outsourcing, make/buy, etc.
