學習目標
This case is best suited for second-year or higher-level managerial accounting courses at the undergraduate level. It covers several concepts taught in an introductory managerial accounting course. Since it is comprehensive in nature, this case should be taught after the concepts and tools have been covered in previous classes; alternatively, it could be used as a testing vehicle. Analysis of the case requires students to complete the following: an external (industry and competitive) analysis; an internal (corporate size-up, statement of cash flows and interpretation, ratio interpretation) analysis; a qualitative assessment of the new adventure park under each proposal; a differential analysis for both adventure park proposals; a projected statement of earnings; and a promotional plan with a limited budget.
