Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis, 13th Edition

perfect for what i needed

I do not like Cost Acounting. I like this book because it made it possible for me to understand cost accounting and get an A. It is very well organized and easy to use and understand even though the subject is somewhat difficult.

Overall helped me out a lot, my class and professor followed it almost word for word. So definetly recommend for anyone going into managerial accounting

This book is getting it's workout with me! It was in good shape until I got my hands on it! Good price, great shape and delivered quickly, thanks!

Having a need to put a comprehensive business plan together, I needed proper information that would support my efforts. This book delivers the needed information to be useful and helpful.

I got the stuff earlier than I expected.The book looks new. I am very satisfied with it. I am SURE I will come back here again if I need more books.

Is there a better way to use this book than to burn it? No. I had the misfortune of using this book for managerial accounting, quite possibly one of the most boring and over-complicated classes in the world. Over-complicate: as in the material is actually easy but they must write 1000 pages on it so that students will never understand it. In any event, people still use this book for some reason. When I tried to sell it around 2 years later, the book depreciated to $1 from $200 because I guess the 14th edition came out. Either that or this book was found to cause herpes. It's ironic that this book is an accounting failure of its own and the publishers can't even find a way to prevent the book from depreciating 19900%. Nonetheless, since it's now worth $1, it would be of more value to use this as firewood.

Considering cost accounting is a hard subject to begin with, I would think the authors would like to make the book easier to comprehend. Nope, not these people. This book was difficult to comprehend. Luckily I had a good enough teacher. He had simplier ways to work the problems, I would think the book would have showed the best and simplier way, nope. Their instrcutions were not great at all.
