Helpful Tool for Financial Accounting Course

Whether you're studying Corporate Finance or Financial Accounting the Vest-pocket guide provides a useful tool for ratio analysis.

Complete and Convenient

Through these ten years since B-school, I have often returned to the old text books to retrieve a forgotten concept or calculation. Each time, I also referred to Tyran's "Vest-Pocket Business Ratios" book..as well as Downes' "Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms". These two books are small..fit easily in the daypack as I head to Starbuck's...and offer quick financial statements and definitions to support concepts. I purchased two copies of Tyran.

Just OK!

This book is acceptable as a quick reference guide. However, there are a few typos and the wording is a little off in a few ratios. The book has come in handy a few times when I couldn't remember a ratio, but I would not be lost with out it. In other words, it's ok to have but you won't miss it if you don't have it.
