Not outstanding.,
By the g man "g" (Milwaukee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Managerial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (Hardcover)
I feel the authors have covered the topic well. As a read, I thought the text was written as good as an accounting can be.The problem I shared with my classmates is that there was difficulty completing the exercises at the ends of the chapters. We feel maybe two reasons for this: first, the problems often could not be solved without looking forward to the chapters not yet covered; and second, specific details needed to solve problems were either not there or organized in an unfamiliar way. This required asking many questions with the instructor and classmates to try to complete the exercises. Overall, though, I suppose this is on par with other texts on the topic. The book we liked the best was "Accounting: what the numbers mean" as it was written & organized very well; and the exercises were very effective.

This review is from: Managerial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (Hardcover)
This was a good beginners book, so I have no complaints about the first few chapters. But as you progress to the second and last third of the book, the exercises become progressively and unfairly difficult, and not because they are meant to challenge us. Instead, they are just poorly written.Problems in textbooks should illuminate, not obfuscate key topics in the chapter. When a major problem asks you to calculate out a complex situation, there should be more explicit and explanatory examples in the chapter text in order for a good student to go back and teach himself the principles that the authors are trying to test, instead of struggling to figure out what they are asking to begin with. Other managerial accounting books are much better at illuminating even the basic ideas that students like us need to learn, not to mention to complex accounting practices on exams.
