" Text and Cases, 11e", by Anthony, Hawkins, and Merchant is a 28 chapter book written to cover both financial and managerial accounting followed by broader managerial issues. Chapters 1-14 cover financial accounting, while Chapters 15-21 cover management accounting, and chapters 22-28 focus on broader issues of control and corporate strategy. The approximately 120 cases that largely make up the end of chapter material are a combination of classic Harvard style cases, as well as extended problems.
just kidding. this book stunk. the information you needed to answer case studies wouldn't show up til chapters later. there is no answer key for the problems. and you generally will have no idea what the hell is going on. boo.
this was my second tango with Accounting. Accounting, I hate you.
Read this for a university accounting course. Concept examples are very unclear, and some formulas are given without any examples at all, which dose not help when completing homework. Had to Google most formulas for examples.
I used this text for class and was not impressed. There were a number of editing mistakes that made the problem sets frustrating and we ended up turning to another book in the end. The actual instructional material was adequate, dry, but then it's an accounting text so that's to be expected. Overall the book was fine but I would not recommend it if you can find an alternative that will meet your needs.
