 Vague w/ No Answer Key June 3, 2006
Loriana A. Zanotti (Petaluma, CA USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I found the definitions to be vague, and even the definitions of terms change as you go through the chapter, which is confusing, when you're trying to retain all this new information. The author should provide a list of examples of terms, so that we understand and grasp what the meanings of terms are, and how they are linked to other definitions.
For example, a cash flow from investing actitivites are defined as "cash flows related to the acquisition or sale of the company's productive assests". As you do some homework prolems and online quizzes, you can gather that productive assests are more than manufacturing equipment, which was the one example given in the book. If I don't know what productive assets are, then I'm not going to understand what cash flow from investing activities are.
Also, why not provide an answer key so that you can check to see if you're doing the work correctly and that you have the right understanding? The answer key should not be just for teachers.
Students really like this book. June 11, 1998

Accounting can be a dry subject, but this book is actually interesting to read. There are lots of companies used as examples, and the authors really try to show you how accounting is used to make decisions. There is a Decision Toolkit that talks about what tools to use to make certain decisions. There are lots of photographs, helpful illustrations and great use of color.

I used this book for my very first Accounting course and it was great. The author uses up to date info and really caters to a first year student such as myself. I can only hope that all of my Accounting books will be like this one.
