·  to determine the scientific background and to express the practical application fields,

·  to explain the characteristics of marginal costing and implement marginal costing systems based on practical problems by calculating primary, secondary and tertiary costs and calculation rates as well as performing cost control, revenue planning, revenue control and plan calculation within the framework of marginal costing,

·  to compare the extensions and the complements of planned marginal cost accounting,

·  to evaluate the possible applications of the German activity based costing (Prozesskostenrechnung)
