ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
(1 semester, ½ credit, Grades 10-12)
Prerequisite: None
Accounting is the Language of Business! Accounting Principles provides an excellent background not only for college accounting but also provides a solid foundation for any business career. The concepts of assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity are studied in depth. Students reinforce their understanding of accounting procedures by working through realistic accounting cycles for a sole proprietorship and a merchandising business organized as a corporation. Business transactions are analyzed, recorded, and summarized for the preparation of general-purpose financial statements—the same statements that large corporations use to report financial ratios, component percentages, and stockholders’ equity. In addition, students complete a simulation and are also presented with instructional activities that reinforce mathematical and critical thinking skills.

MANAGERIAL & COST ACCOUNTING
(1 semester, ½ credit - Grades 11-12)
Prerequisite: Advanced Corporate Accounting
According to the Hudson High School Guidance Department, more than 50 percent of Hudson’s graduates major in business in college. Business majors are required to take several accounting courses in college. In Managerial & Cost Accounting, HHS students continue to build the confidence needed to compete as business majors on college campuses. Managerial accounting teaches the use of organizational information in order to provide managers with the basis to make informed business decisions that will allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions.

We will do this by engaging the students in real-world simulations, teaching them analytical skills associated with authentic case studies, collaborating on group projects, networking with guest speakers, and interpreting selected readings.
