The first six sections were concise and informative. The seventh section did not offer the same caliber of information as many terms were “glossed” over and the reader was supposed to accept them as “given” with no further explanation. Clean this section up and this will be a five star course.

The Book is very informative but unfortunately not useful in our time. I get the general knowledge but can not use it because the computers are calculating the average cost of the inventory. The only part can be used is: General Journal Entries.

This book is clear and self-explanatory. The way the sections are structured and well laid-out makes the book even more interesting and appealing to read and reinforces one’s knowledge. Because inventory is one of a firm’s crucial areas impacting on its profitability, a thorough grasp of the subject matter is a must. I do recommend this book to any accounting student.
