I'm an accounting major and must say that this is hands down the worst information I have seen on financial reports ever. Get ready to be confused. I'm only two chapters into this text and already feeling like I've been robbed.Update: I've now completed this text and I stand by my earlier review. In addition, I would like to point out that they do not completely explain all the necessary steps to several of the formulas. You will need to locate outside sources for some of the information.
One of the worst textbooks I've ever used. They make no use of the margins for explaining terms or trying to be remotely interesting. The chapters in this book are comprised of massive walls of text with a few bolded words and graphs. The real issue is this: they do not even explain how to do many of the end-of-chapter problems. Instead of referencing page numbers next to problems for explanations, they list their learning objectives at the start of the chapter, which are not even pointed out in the text as they are addressed. Extremely disappointed.
This book doesn't give formulas and examples that match the problems at the end of each chapter. If your instructor says you don't need the Connect Plus with this book - buy it anyway! One of the most confusing texts I've ever used.
I ordered and paid for a hardback book and received a paperback book. Not happy. I also order a regular edition and received the international version which is different from my class. Makes it harder!
The book does not give a step-by-step guide for how to do the formula luckily I have my other Financial textbook that is much more useful.http://www..com/gp/product/1118492676/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2I would suggest you cannot book instead
I am a business major and am required to take finance. This. Is. Incredibly. Confusing. I absolute hate it.
The content is terrible, very confusing, I can read it only with my accounting text book next to me for references and explanation. Feels like the authors assume that you already know everything!
Worst book about finance I have ever seen, I cannot believe this is a required text book. Nothing in it makes any sense and likely unusable info
