Cost Accounting: Foundations and Evolutions (Available Titles Cengagenow)

Abstract

The advantage of the Kinney/Raiborn book is readability. The exhibits are outstanding. Kinney and Raiborn do a great job of writing and make what students really need to know as clear as possible. The Kinney/Raiborn book does a great job on more modern topics such as ABC, TQM, and JIT. "The text is well written, and students like it." "A strength of the textbook is the quality of the exercises and problems at the end of each chapter. These items . . . do a good job of reinforcing important concepts in the chapter. Furthermore, most chapters have one or two broad-scope problems that integrate many of the concepts presented in that chapter and, in some cases, also integrate concepts from preceding chapters. Another strength is that the narrative within the chapters is written in a clear manner and the exhibits generally provide clear reinforcement of chapter concepts."
