Integrate pedagogy with concepts and practical applications

• Using Excel. This end-of-chapter problem introduces students to Excel to solve common accounting problems as they would in the business environment.
• Tying It All Together ties together key concepts from the chapter using the company highlighted in the chapter opener. The in-chapter box presents scenarios and questions that the company could face and focuses on the decision-making process. The end-of-chapter business case helps students synthesize the concepts of the chapter and reinforce critical thinking.
• A Continuing Problem starts in Chapter 1 and runs through the financial chapters, exposing students to recording entries for a service company and then moving into recording transactions for a merchandiser later in the text. The managerial chapters’ continuing problem has been revised for this edition and emphasizes the relevant topics for that chapter using a continuous company.

End-of-chapter review and summary problems

• Comprehensive Problem for Chapters 5 and 6 covers the entire accounting cycle for a merchandise company, including analysis.
• Comprehensive Problem for Chapters 7-9 covers cash, receivables, and long-term assets transactions and analysis.
• Comprehensive Problem for Chapters 11-13 covers payroll, other current liabilities, long-term liabilities, and stockholders’ equity transactions and analysis.
