Title: disappointing, frustrating, poor review of topics
Review: This was a good beginners book, so I have no complaints about the first few chapters. But as you progress to the second and last third of the book, the exercises become progressively and unfairly difficult, and not because they are meant to challenge us. Instead, they are just poorly written.Problems in textbooks should illuminate, not obfuscate key topics in the chapter. When a major problem asks you to calculate out a complex situation, there should be more explicit and explanatory examples in the chapter text in order for a good student to go back and teach himself the principles that the authors are trying to test, instead of struggling to figure out what they are asking to begin with. Other managerial accounting books are much better at illuminating even the basic ideas that students like us need to learn, not to mention to complex accounting practices on exams.
