Features
  • MyLab™ Accounting is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalised study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.
  • A simplified user interface. The new user interface offers quick and easy access to Assignments, the Study Plan, the eText & Results, as well as additional options for course customisation.
  • The eText keeps students engaged in learning on their own time, while helping them achieve greater conceptual understanding of course material. The worked examples (in select titles) bring learning to life, and algorithmic practice allows students to apply the very concepts they are reading about. Combining resources that illuminate content with accessible self-assessment, MyLab with eText provides students with a complete digital learning experience–all in one place.
  • Learning Aids. MyLab homework and practice questions are correlated to the textbook, regenerate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery, and offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect answers. Learning aids, such as Help Me Solve This, DemoDoc Examples, provide extra help for students at the point-of-use.
  • Students get real-world Excel practice in their classes.
  • Instructors have the option to assign students End-of-Chapter Questions that can be completed in an Excel spreadsheet and uploaded for instant, automatic grading that will flow to a gradebook.
  • Worked Out Solutions. Sometimes students need more than just the correct answer to understand their mistakes; they need to understand how to get to that correct answer. Worked Out Solutions will now be available to students when they are reviewing their submitted and graded homework. The Worked Out Solutions provide step-by-step explanations on how to solve the problem using the exact numbers and data that was presented to the student in the problem. Instructors will also have access to the Worked Out Solutions in preview and review mode.
  • The Study Plan acts as a tutor, providing personalised recommendations for each of your students based on his or her ability to master the learning objectives in your course. This allows students to focus their study time by pinpointing the precise areas they need to review, and allowing them to use customised practice and learning aids–such as videos, an eText, tutorials, and more–to get them back on track. Using the report available in the Gradebook, you can then tailor course lectures to prioritise the content where students need the most support–offering you better insight into classroom and individual performance.
  • Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. NEW! Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course.
  • Reporting Dashboard. View, analyze, and report learning outcomes clearly and easily, and get the information you need to keep your students on track throughout the course, with the new Reporting Dashboard. Available via the MyLab Gradebook and fully mobile-ready, the Reporting Dashboard presents student performance data at the class, section, and program levels in an accessible, visual manner.
  • HTML5 Player. In addition to matching the Flash player’s support of Accessibility requirements, the HTML5 player has a new “Show Work” feature to allow students to enter text either from a keyboard or stylus and to draw freehand on different backgrounds, such as a coordinate graph, with multiple fonts and colours. Students can also continue to upload images such as phone-photos of handwritten work. Printing enhancements include:
  • Learning Catalytics™ helps you generate class discussion, customise your lecture, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. As a student response tool, Learning Catalytics uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking.

  • Examples of companies that mandate disclosures and evaluate managers on environmental and social metrics (Chapter 23).
  • Material that stress themes of recognising and accounting for environmental costs, energy independence and the smart grid, setting stretch targets to motivate greater carbon reductions, using cost analysis, carbon tax, and cap-and-trade auctions to reduce environmental footprints, and constructing “green” homes in a cost-effective manner.

  • Try It examples are simple and focus on key ideas or concepts. They are located after a particular concept or calculation, and invite students to practice what they have just learned.
  • Becker Multiple Choice Questions in the assignment material probe students’ knowledge of the chapter material and their ability to think critically about key concepts.
  • Opening Vignettes. Each chapter opens with a vignette on a real company situation. The vignettes get students engaged in a business situation, or dilemma, illustrating why and how the concepts in the chapter are relevant in business. New examples on Quiksilver, General Motors, Boeing, Delta, Honda, and Viacom have been incorporated.
  • Concepts in Action Boxes. Found in every chapter, these boxes cover real-world cost accounting issues across a variety of industries including automobile racing, defense contracting, entertainment, manufacturing, and retailing. New examples include Subway, Chipotle, H&M, Amazon, Under Armour, and Netflix.
