Cost Accounting-A Managerial Emphasis by Horngren et al.,.......2003-12-15
the best costing book
Cost Accounting-A Managerial Emphasis by Horngren et al........2003-07-20
In graduate school, I utilized this text. In addition, the work
was helpful in preparing for and passing the Uniform CPA Exam.
There is good coverage of cost-volume analysis, equivalent
units, margin analysis and other important topics for qualifying
examinations i.e. CPA Exam. The tables and graphical
presentations are helpful as are the problem sets. This work is
for the serious student in accounting.The course requires some
serious study, particularly in the area of process costing.
the best costing book.......2002-12-07
I've studied cost accounting for 2 years in Hong Kong. The first year I used a really bad text book named 'Costing', I hated studying Costing. However after using the 'Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis (10 Edition)', I become interested in Costing and Management Accounting. And deceide to have CMA exam in future. THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD ONE.
A standard text for cost accounting.......2002-10-24
If you are looking for a single volume "bible" on cost accounting, this is likely the best book in print today to fit that bill. It is comprehensive in scope yet has many strengths to ease comprehension and aid readability.
The topics are grouped in six main sections each with several chapters on that topic. Since it is unlikely that you will read this reference / text book left to right as you would a novel this organization helps in finding what you are looking for and focusing on the area(s) of interest.
There are many helpful illustrations and a good use of color as well as chapter summaries and all the exercises you could ever hope for.
A very excellent feature is the use of application problems that take you step-by-step through building an Excel spreadsheet. This is tremendously useful.
The web support is also a good help as well as the streaming video vignettes.
I honestly find this topic very interesting and the 11th edition of this book to be a very valuable resource.
Highly recommended........2002-08-27
Book was received as described and was shipped on time. AAA+

Good for managers bad for students.......2003-07-29
I bought this book to help me studying for my part 3 CMA exam.
The reason I removed the fifth star from my rating is:
First : It does not have enough questions, or questions are irrelevant to the ones you get in a CMA exam. Besides, there are no answers given to help you evaluate your self.
Second: Though it has a good website for student support ... some main chapters are still under construction!!
My Conclusion is that If you are a manager, you will find this book very helpful more than any other book but if you are a student you better use another text book like Horngren .

Could be better! Too few problems!.......2002-12-30
I used it for the cost accounting class and though I found it helpful, I thought that there were too few problems given in the study guide and the ones there did not really reflect on the ones in the textbook. The summaries were well written and an excellent tool for review, but I think the problems should correlate more with what is in the text. I did get A in the class, but I've seen better study guides. Accounting is all in practice, so problems are more important than the terminology.
Great study guide.......2002-09-26
I have used an earlier edition and thought it was great, but this one is even better. Easiy to follow and effectively packs a tremendous amount if information between the covers. It really makes a compex subject come into focus. Can't think of enough good things to say about this guide.

I used this book (a prior edition) in my cost accounting studies and I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to learn these methods at an accelerated pace.

I recommend this student study guide for purposes of demystifying the realm of cost accounting.

This text is an economical alternative to the traditional hardback version. It is soft back and is printed in black and white, but the content is identical. I used it for my cost accounting class and had no problems.
