Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making
by Paul Kimmel, Jerry Weygandt, and Jill Mitchell provides a practical introduction to financial and managerial accounting with a focus on how to use accounting information to make business decisions. Through significant course updates, the 8th Edition presents an active, hands-on approach designed to spark effective learning, develop critical thinking skills, and inspire and prepare the next generation of accounting and business professionals.
To ensure maximum understanding of core concepts, scaffolded assessments are integrated throughout the text at the point of learning. This text also offers a wide variety of questions and end of chapter homework material presented within real-world business scenarios, helping students understand not just the how and why of accounting, but its greater business applications as well.
Throughout the text, students will have the opportunity to work through numerous hands-on activities like the Cookie Creations running case study, Expand Your Critical Thinking Questions, Excel Templates, and Analytics in Action problems, in order to further develop their decision-making mindsets within the accounting context. These applications all map to chapter material as well, making it easy for instructors to determine where and how to incorporate key skill development in their syllabus.
