New to This Edition
|
- Expanded from 10 to 13 chapters, but can be comfortably covered in 1 semester. New chapters are: Chapter 5, Variable Costing; Chapter 8, Pricing Decision, Analyzing Customer Profitability, and Activity-Based Pricing; and Chapter 13, Analyzing Financial Statements: A Managerial Perspective.
- Chapter 1 includes a discussion of managerial accounting in the information age and how technology facilitates information flows up and down the value chain. It also presents a framework for ethical decision making.
- Chapter 10 has added material on why budget-based compensation can lead to budget padding and income shifting.
- Four new appendices provide coverage of special topics: (1) Using regression in Excel to estimate fixed and variable costs; (2) Using Excel to perform net present value and internal rate of return calculations; (3) Activity-based management; and (4) Theory of constraints.
- End-of-chapter exercises, problems, and cases increased by approximately 20 percent. Many problems and cases focus on service companies.
- Added a number of exercises, problems, and cases related to ethical dilemmas.
- Added a solved review problem at the end of each chapter to supplement the multiple-choice self-testing materials.
- Every chapter is linked to decision making with a feature called Making Business Decision. The feature has a Tools and Skills Checklist that students use to check-off the concepts and techniques they've learned in the chapter.
- The enhanced CD includes additional student self-tests, demonstrations of concepts and techniques such as the planning and control process, tracing costs to jobs, cost-volume-profit relationships, the effect of alternative allocation schemes on product cost, incremental analysis, calculation of the internal rate of return, "what if" analysis using a spreadsheet, comparison of divisional EVAs, and more.
