MAA262 – Management Accounting – Trimester 2 2021

Assessment Task 1 – Individual Assignment I

Description
This assignment task will consolidate your understanding of some of the key concepts covered in this unit.
Please submit your answers to the questions in the order they are presented, clearly identifying on the
document which question is being addressed. As long as you are identifying which question is being addressed
you are not required to repeat the question on your assignment.
Your response should respond to all questions. The word limit is 2,000 words (maximum) in total, and words
limit includes headings, tables, references, and appendices. Note that a contents page, cover page, and an
executive summary are not required. Regarding the formatting of the assignment, there is no specific
requirement regarding font, font size and line spacing. There is no minimum amount of words. Any word above the limit of 2,000 will be penalised by 1 mark for each additional word, thus 2,010 words have a 10 marks penalty, 2,020 words have a 20 marks penalty, and henceforth.

Learning Outcomes
This task allows you to demonstrate achievement towards the unit learning outcomes. The ULOs are aligned
with specific graduate learning outcomes – that is, the skills and knowledge graduates are expected to have
upon completion of their studies – and this assessment task is an important tool in determining achievement
of those outcomes.

If you do not demonstrate achievement of the unit learning outcomes, you will not be successful in this unit.
It is good practice to familiarise yourself with the ULOs and GLOs as they provide guidance on the knowledge,
understanding and skills you are expected to demonstrate upon completion of the unit. In this way, they can
be used to guide your study.
