Abstract
This is the first of a three-case series which is intended to teach the basic concepts of cost accounting. The company Prodesdir has three products and is working below capacity. One of the three products is not profitable based on an analysis of the complete cost. Students are required to decide what measures should be taken and, as an exercise, to calculate the break-even point, to prepare the income statement, etc. This case is particularly suitable for use with a spreadsheet, both for preparing the answers and for class presentation.
