Student Review / / 2010-07-29
This book was chosen for me. After having taken an MBA course with this book, I am giving it a very good review. The subject matter isn't the easiest, so you have to have a good professor to make sence of some of the mechanics and concepts.

The chapters took time to get through. You may even have to read it twice, but it gives you the right amount of information. The information is not oversimplified but does not overwhelm you with excessive fluff. The examples with solution are consistent with the homework questions. Unlike some books where you wonder if the chapters and homework questions were written by 2 different people isolated from each other.

It's a tough subject for people new to accounting, chapters can be time consuming to get through, and doing the homework takes much time as well. However, if you have a good teacher and have access to a tutor, you will learn fundamental applicable concepts and mechanics.

I don't like this book/writers / / 2010-03-11
The content in this book is not clear as well as illutration examples. I have a hard time to understand the materials of this book. Eventhough the exercise and the problem totally difference in the content, given information on this direction and asking for another direction.

I just took Financial Accounting (5th edition) and the book from Paul Kimmel, Jerry Waygandt and Donald Kieso is great. They are the best writers, the materials and illutration examples very make sence and there are many examples in difference situations. These two books are totally difference, one is managerial accounting and one is financial accounting, but the writers of managerial accounting book did not write well. I wish the book was written better because cost accounting is very important for student.

LOOKS OLD BUT IN A GOOD CONDITION..... actually, when buying a book, we should care bout the content and price, looks is just the cover. I've saved big bucks on this book. In my school's bookstore, the used one was over $100. Save big, exact content... Why don't u choose it?
