Per the paper assignment ,I have chosen Cummins,Inc as the firm mentioned above (MBAA-517)

1- I have done a search regarding standard costs. I cant find much more than whats alreadyin my managerial accounting textbook. Cummins has business in China and India

Any insight in what direction to go in as far as searching?

2- Relevant costs- Same issue. I think I am having a problem in starting my research

Thanks
