Fundamentals of Cost Accounting provides a direct, realistic, and efficient way to learn cost accounting, integrated with new technology learning tools. Fundamentals is short (approximately 700 pages) making it easy to cover in one semester. The authors have kept the text concise by focusing on the key concepts students need to master. The Decision opening vignettes and Business Application boxes show realistic applications of these concepts throughout. All chapters conclude with a Debrief that links the topics in the chapter to the decision problem faced by the manager in the opening vignette. Comprehensive end-of-chapter material provides students with all the practice they need to fully learn each concept.

I like the fact the company does not require an access code like many publishers to get online information. After I sell this book back at the end of the semester I will still be able to reread any power points I may need or look back at the definitions.

The previous review of this book is entirely inaccurate. The books website does not require an access code, it requires you to read ALL of the instructions on the very first page of the book to figure out how to get to the correct site. The website for this text is incredibly helpful, it contains pre-made flashcards, study guides, outlines, a glossary for each chapter, quizes, powerpoint slides, and the best part... It has all of the presentations set-up with audio available to download directly into itunes so you can load it onto your ipod! I have used this site almost more than I have used the book, and the best part is it is FREE!
