Synopsis

Make the right decisions with Horngren/Sundem/Stratton!

Horngren/Sundem/Stratton's best-selling texts emphasize decision-making throughout each chapter. Decision-making is introduced in the early text chapters and also appears in many of the text features: "Making Managerial Decisions" boxes, critical thinking exercises, and more. As always, students develop a solid understanding of costs and cost behavior and the use of cost information for planning and control decisions, not just inventory valuation.

Two text versions enable faculty to select a text that only covers management accounting concepts (Chs. 1-14) or one that includes three chapters of financial accounting review (Chs. 1-17).

New OneKey provides the convenience of having all text resources in a single location and available in your choice of course management platform:  BlackBoard, WebCT, and CourseCompass.  OneKey also includes PH Grade Assist on-line homework with automatic grading and infinite practice for students).
