| Key features | |
NEW--The Activity-Based Costing chapter has been completely rewritten to emphasize decision-making in both service and manufacturing companies. This content is now placed in Chapter 8. The previous edition's chapter on ABC (Ch. 5)covered how to compute unit product costs for external reporting using an ABC approach. The new ABC chapter focuses on how to develop and use ABC costing data for decision-making. The chapter order was changed from 5 to 8 because the new ABC chapter fits naturally after the variable costing chapter. Variable costing is a valuable tool for making decisions that do not involve changes in capacity. ABC is a tool that can be used for making decisions that involve changes in capacity. Further, students need a better understanding of cost behavior and of Cost-Volume-Profit analysis before covering ABC from a decision-making perspective. The Cost of Quality material has been moved to an appendix at the back of the book.
NEW--Chapter 10, Standard Costs and the Balanced Scorecard, has integrated coverage of the balanced scorecard with the material on operating performance measures. This coverage is up-to-date content that is important because many companies are using the balanced scorecard to evaluate their performance.
NEW--Spreadsheet Integration. Budgeting is a function for which most managerial accountants use spreadsheets. Therefore, to help students recognize the importance of spreadsheets as a budgeting tool and to assist them in understanding how budgets look in a spreadsheet, all exhibits pertaining to the budgeting chapters will appear in actual Microsoft Excel spreadsheet screen captures. This is a unique feature for the managerial accounting market.
NEW--Chapter openers help students relate chapter concepts with the real world.
NEW--Technology including Presentation Manager CD-ROM (includes Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, Transparency Acetates, PowerPoint Presentation and video clips), FREE student CD-ROM (includes the tutorial and selected video clips), Online Learning Center, and telecourse (produced in conjunction with the LeCroy Center, part of the Dallas County Community College District, and the McGraw-Hill Learning Architecture.
NEW--Saleable supplement called Managerial Accounting using Excel 7.0 by Ali Peyvandi and Nancy Hongola, both of California State University at Fresno. This product enables a professor to easily incorporate spreadsheets into a managerial accounting course using a four-step system:
1. Provides students with a brief introduction to the computer
2. Introduces the student to an Excel spreadsheet and its functions.
3. Students solve managerial accounting problems using Excel templates.
4. Requires students to solve managerial accounting problems by creating a spreadsheet from scratch.
This new supplement can be packaged with G/N for an additional $15.

"Focus on Current Practice" boxes include glimpses of how actual company's use or are affected by concepts discussed in the chapter. Each chapter has anywhere from two to nine examples. Students benefit by understanding the uses of managerial accounting in actual business practice.
International aspects (identified by icon) show the importance of the international dimension in business and management practice in an increasingly global economy.
Solid, reliable end-of-chapter exercise, problem and case material that continues to respond to AECC and AACSB recommendations. Look for more group projects, writing assignments, focus on ethics, and use of real-world data in 9/e.
? "Managerial Accounting in Action" boxes are vignettes involving business people in life-like settings. They are frequently used to introduce core concepts and stimulate interest. They are essential to, and an integral part of, the reading and understand of the text. Real products and services that students can relate with are used as much as possible.
? We will continue to provide the P.L.U.S. edition (Professional Learning Unit System, also known as an annotated instructor's edition).
? All key supplements continue to be written by the authors--this is the only text in the market that does this. (Solutions Manual/Solutions Transparencies, Teaching Transparencies, Study Guide/Workbook, Test Bank with the assistance of Larry Deppe of Weber State, Instructors Resource Manual, and Check Figures.)
