This book is ridiculous on not being able to see the end of chapter review solutions. After also paying for an account on myfinancelab I was still unable to view the solutions. I then had to ask my instructor which took till the next day. Paying for both a text book and an online account should provide more benefits like the solutions at the end of every chapter review.

As always... this is one of the book I translated. Packed with nice info 'bout finance, securities, and the likes, though.
