Due date: Friday 7 April; submission via CloudDeakin by 11:59pm
Marks: 10% of the overall mark
 
Assessment task:
In this individual assignment, you are required to make a video-recorded presentation of maximum 8 minutes. Imagine you are the management accountant of a firm and you want to explain the nature of activity-based costing (ABC) and the issues related to its implementation.
In order to do so you are required to undertake a research of relevant academic and professional literature and address the following:

1. Explain what is activity-based costing (ABC)
2. Select from the relevant literature an example of either a successful implementation of ABC or an unsuccessful implementation of ABC and address the following:
   1. Explain what were the motivations for introducing ABC
   2. Explain why the implementation was considered to be successful (or unsuccessful)
   3. Discuss how would you improve the implementation of ABC

 
We expect at least 3 prime reference sources which must be acknowledge and referenced at the end of your presentation. You can find information about plagiarism and other study support resources at the following website:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support
 
 
Please, limit the use of textbooks as references, and use instead relevant academic and professional journal articles. Please do not usethe real-life cases of activity based costing described in your textbook (pages 337, 339 and 341). Note that blogs, Internet discussions and Wikipedia are NOT acceptable as references.
 
It is a requirement that you are in the video. The most user-friendly option for recording your videos is Deakin Air. Guidance as to how to use Deakin Air can be found at the following web address: http://teachassist.deakin.edu.au/resources/deakinair-guides/
 
You can be as creative as you like in making your video: you may deliver it by yourself, or you may want to do a role play enlisting friends/colleagues to play the role of listeners/students/concerned managers (please note that this last suggestion is not a compulsory one!). You can use any visual aid that you may deem appropriate (Power point, Prezi, Keynote, etc.). Using visual aid allows you to be more focused and to address the questions above clearly. In order to make a successful presentation, it is important that you are engaged, clear, concise and focused, whilst covering the points listed above.
 
Please note: The marking rubric is provided in a separate document.
 
Instructions on how to upload videos on CloudDeakin are provided in the separate document titled “How do I submit a Deakin Air video into an assignment folder” available on CloudDeakin, in the section of assessment task 1.
