Feature Summary

“In Business” boxes offer glimpses into how real companies use the accounting concepts discussed within the chapter.
Decision Features are chapter-openers that use real world examples to show how accounting information is used to make everyday business decisions. An example is Chapter 13 on “Statement of Cash Flows,” which examines how shaky cash flow statements have affected online retailers or “e-tailers.”
You Decide boxes challenge students to apply the tools of analysis and make decisions. Suggested solutions are located at the end of each chapter.
Decision-Maker features are critical thinking questions based on real world scenarios that require the resolution of a business issue. Suggested solutions are located at the end of each chapter.
Brief Exercises - While much of the highly-praised end of chapter material Garrison/Noreen is known for has largely been retained, this text also includes Brief Exercises. Each Brief Exercise covers a single learning objective. These simple exercises serve as building blocks to prepare the student for the longer exercises and problems. Faculty can use the brief exercises as quick exercises for completion in class, and the main exercises and problems for homework assignments.
Building Your Skills - The Building Your Skills section contains problem materials that help students develop communication, team work, Internet, and analytical skills. Problem types include: Communicating in Practice, Ethics Challenge, Taking it to the Net, Teamwork in Action, and Analytical Thinking exercises. Building Your Skills end-of-chapter problems conform to AECC and AACSB recommendations and make great class discussion and group project material
The Managerial Accounting in Action feature is used to introduce core concepts and stimulate interest. They incorporate real products and services to which students can relate.
Exhibits in selected chapters are presented in Excel Spreadsheet screen captures. Such spreadsheets are now routinely used in business to prepare analyses and reports.
Many of the supplements are written by the authors, which drastically cuts down on errors and ensures identical terminology, guaranteeing the best student comprehension and ease of faculty use.
Like the Garrison/Noreen text, the most attractive features of the Brewer/Garrison/Noreen text are its outstanding writing style, clear and balanced presentation of relevant subject matter, wide selection of reliable problems and end of chapter material, and an extensive author-driven supplements package that is timely and accurate. Like Garrison/Noreen, this is a book that instructors can count on.
