Comments

I found this book easy to read and it explained the different concepts of managerial accounting very well. Each new concept has an example problem or journal entry. The problem was also thoroughly explained, which will make it easier for students to understand the different steps. I plan on using this text as a supplemental addition to the current textbook that I use because I feel that it does a better job explaining the different concepts.
