Text & Cases, by Anthony, Hawkins, and Merchant covers both financial and managerial accounting as well as 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 make up most of the end of chapter material are a combination of classic Harvard style cases and extended problems, with 10 completely new cases added to the 12th edition. Text and Cases is a product of lifelong dedication to the discipline of accounting, and users of the book benefit from a breadth of experience that is sure to enrich your course and your students.
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.
