CROSS-REFERENCES TO COST, MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING, AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS TEXTBOOKS

The next section contains the tables of contents of current textbooks with cross-references to the related subunits or study units in this software. The books are listed in alphabetical order by the first author. As you study a particular chapter in your textbook, you can easily determine which subunit(s) to study in this software. You should review all questions in the subunit.

Professors, students, and accounting practitioners should all note that, even though new editions of the texts listed below may be published as you use this software, the new tables of contents usually will be very similar, if not the same. Thus, this edition of Cost/Managerial Accounting Exam Questions and Explanations will remain current and useful.
