Extremely well organized. Very logical, easy to follow. The problems (and solutions) were well thought out. I am a "working professional" MBA student so appreciated the format- it made very efficient use of what little studying time I have!

Arrived much sooner than expected within 2 business days not including Sunday when ordered standard delivery Book has several highlights with most important text Text easy to follow along with the definitions, questions, and computations Provides detail examples in the chapters, chapter summary, and appendixes.

This text represents my first formal exposure to Accounting. I found the text easy to read with clear explanation, and a comprehensive selection of example problems that have been solved to illustrate key points. Given the extensive number of chapters and revisions, the text is "complete" and well refined.

I learn a lot from this book for cost accounting, I think if you are in accounting major, you should try one of this to read as reference if you don't have a chance to study in your class.
