I HAPPEN TO READ THE BOOK IN THE INSTITUTE OF COST ACCOUNTANTS OF INDIA'S LIBRARY. THE BOOK WAS WONDERFUL. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS SET IN OUR FINAL EXAMINATIONS WERE TAKEN OR COPIED WITH MINOR VARIATIONS FROM YOUR BOOK. THEREFORE IT IS VERY USEFUL FOR STUDENTS LIKE US TO READ YOUR BOOKS AND SCORE GOOD MARKS IN THE EXAMINATION.

HOWEVER THE BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN DETAILED SOLUTIONS. AS A RESULT WE ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND FULLY THE METHODOLOGY OF SOLVING IT. AND THE PRICING IN INDIA IS VERY HIGH TO AFFORD THIS BOOK. THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED BY THE AUTHOR TO MAKE THIS BOOK AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE FOR AN AVERAGE INDIAN STUDENT.

THANKING YOU, YOURS FAITHFULLY,

As a chartered Accounting teacher of 12 years standing in India I must say that this is one of the most amazing works on the subject.Only a teacher of such profound knowledge as Prof Horn Gren could have written such a book.I strongly recommend CA students in India and around the world to use this book if they want to get their 'fundas' right.

I got very little out of the book - it didn't seem to focus on real-life situations. It was quite clear, but just didn't seem relevant. However, the examples/problems combined with the solution manual were quite helpful in mastering the given topics. Books by Krachey and Schindelar were a bit better.

I am a student, and was wondering if there is a solutions manual that accompanies this book that has all the answers and not just the even numbered ones. if so email me back and I'll probably order it.

I am looking to buy this book for someone else. It seems there's a text book and there's a solutions manual by the same name, and i am looking for the latter. Can someone help me and tell me if this is the one i am looking for? Thanks in advance

An easy to read and understand book characterized with the breadth of material and examples.

It was one of my best Accounting course as a student. For now I really like this book although it's very heavy to carry both in mind and in hand. For those who don't like Accounting, yes they will badly suffer when reading this book and just say:'Oh my God, I just can't see what is all this stuff about,I even can carry it!!!" It's a perfect book as areference, If you are interested in cost accouting, just buy it and understand the author's analysis. It costs but worths.

the best costing book
