Customer Reviews

the best costing book

I've studied cost accounting for 2 years in Hong Kong. The first year I used a really bad text book named 'Costing', I hated studying Costing. However after using the 'Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis (10 Edition)', I become interested in Costing and Management Accounting. And deceide to have CMA exam in future. THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD ONE.

A standard text for cost accounting

If you are looking for a single volume "bible" on cost accounting, this is likely the best book in print today to fit that bill. It is comprehensive in scope yet has many strengths to ease comprehension and aid readability.The topics are grouped in six main sections each with several chapters on that topic. Since it is unlikely that you will read this reference / text book left to right as you would a novel this organization helps in finding what you are looking for and focusing on the area(s) of interest.There are many helpful illustrations and a good use of color as well as chapter summaries and all the exercises you could ever hope for.A very excellent feature is the use of application problems that take you step-by-step through building an Excel spreadsheet. This is tremendously useful.The web support is also a good help as well as the streaming video vignettes.I honestly find this topic very interesting and the 11th edition of this book to be a very valuable resource.

Learning Cost Accounting

Like math, the learning process for cost accounting is enhanced by working practice problems and applications. The Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis Student Guide and Review Manual provides excellent cost accounting material with solutions. I would recommend this guide to any student who is serious about learning and understanding the concepts presented in the related text book -- Cost Accounting, A Managerial Emphasis.

Satisfied Customer

The Study Guide saved me a bunch of time. I got a B in the course but would not have done this well without the study guide. I'm a satisfied customer.

Great Study Guide for Cost Accounting!!!!

I used this book (a prior edition) in my cost accounting studies and I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to learn these methods at an accelerated pace. It is easy to read and comprehend and cuts through a lot of the confusion generated by less salient authors in the same discipline. I recommend this student study guide for purposes of demystifying the realm of cost accounting.
