Riassunto

Fundamentals of Cost Accountingprovides 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.

Comprehensive end-of-chapter material provides students with all the practice they need to fully learn each concept.
