preface BUILDING A SOLID FOUNDATION

Redwood trees represent strength, stability, and a solid foundation. The same can be said for Williams/Haka/Bettner, Financial and Managerial Accounting, 13e. It helps students learn the basics of financial and managerial accounting by providing a solid presentation of the root of the principles course, the accounting cycle. Financial and Managerial Accounting helps students build a foundation upon which they’ll continue to learn and grow in their study of business. Students who use this text know where the numbers come from and how to find the information they need to make important decisions. The Williams team’s solid foundation is comprised of the following four qualities:

preface Accounting Cycle Presentation

In the first five chapters of Financial and Managerial Accounting, the authors’ presentation of the Accounting Cycle provides a solid foundation for learning accounting concepts. Central to this presentation is the authors’ treatment of the 4-step process involved in all business transactions. Making their hallmark coverage of transactions even clearer, the Williams team places the accounting equation in the margin as the perfect accompaniment to their solid presentation of the accounting cycle.

Student Motivation The Williams team has put together a market-leading student package that will not only motivate your students, but help you see greater retention rates in your accounting courses. Vital pieces of technology, such as My Mentor—a visual learning tool; the Online Learning Center, packed with tools for both students and instructors; and McGraw-Hill Homework Manager—online practice/testing tied directly to text end-ofchapter material, complement the text, encouraging students to apply what they’re learning and improve their grades. Problem-Solving Skills Financial and Managerial Accounting challenges your students to think about real-world situations and put themselves in the role of the decision maker through Case-In-Point, Your Turn, and Management Strategy and Financial Reporting boxes. Students are driven to the Tootsie Roll Annual Report included in the text and other sources to further hone problem-solving skills by evaluating real-world financial data. The authors’ attention to detail in creating high quality end-of-chapter material, such as the Critical Thinking Cases and Problems, ensures that all homework is tied directly back to chapter topics. Balanced Coverage

The 13th edition of Williams provides the most balanced coverage of financial and managerial topics on the market. The author team has refined the presentation of traditional financial accounting topics—such as updating to reflect important changes made as a result of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act, enhancing their focus on ethics in accounting, and improving the explanation of stockholders’ equity. The authors have extended the coverage of managerial topics by adding a separate chapter on Process Costing and presenting Job Order Costing and Activity-Based Costing in Chapter 17, as well as enhanced coverage of just-in-time systems, activitybased management, and the balanced scorecard.

preface

Why is the Williams presentation of the accounting cycle so effective?  Williams breaks down the Accounting Cycle into 3 full chapters to help students absorb and understand this material: recording entries (chapter 3), adjusting entries (chapter 4), and closing entries (chapter 5).  Williams helps students conquer recording transactions by showing students the 4 steps in the process visually: Step 1: Analysis—shows which accounts recorded with an increase/descrease Step 2: Debit/Credit Rules—helps students to remember the account should be debited/credited Step 3: Journal Entry—shows the result of the two previous steps Step 4: Ledger T-accounts—shows students what was recorded and where  Williams was the FIRST to illustrate this 4-step process to work students through any Balance Sheet or Income Statement transaction. And, this hallmark coverage has been even further enhanced for Williams 13e!  Williams puts the Accounting Equation (A = L + OE) in the margin by transaction illustrations to show students the big picture!

How does the Williams author team treat end-of-chapter material? Five Comprehensive Problems, ranging from two to five pages in length, challenge students to use what they’ve learned in the chapters leading up to them in a real-world scenario. KEY TERMS INTRODUCED OR EMPHASIZED IN CHAPTER 17 activity-based costing (p. 743) Cost accounting method that tracks indirect costs to the activities that consume resources. activity cost pools (p. 751) Overhead categories that represent the costs associated with an activity that consumes overhead resources. cost accounting systems (p. 740) The methods and techniques used by enterprises to track resources consumed in creating and delivering products and services to customers.

Chapter 25 Rewarding Business Performance

they would have some invested capital in administration and research and development. Organizations constantly struggle with how to make capital allocations in their attempt to evaluate business performance.

CASE IN

POINT

Measurement problems also occur when managers do not follow the accounting rules. For example, after WorldCom Inc. (now MCI) filed for bankruptcy in 2002 it became clear that the company manipulated its financial results through a variety of tricks. Interviews with current and former employees uncovered that it was routine to double-count revenue from a single cus- AP Wide World Photo tomer, which inflated return on sales and ROI. In addition, millions of dollars in uncollectable accounts were kept on the books to artificially inflate revenue and reduce liabilities. The SEC investigations uncovered $3.8 billion in accounting misstatements. The proposed $500 million penalty is the heaviest ever levied on a company accused of accounting fraud and the proposed penalty is designed to compensate misled investors.

 Williams uses REAL-WORLD examples to keep your students’ attention:

• Real-world companies and the actual business events they encounter are illustrated in the CASE IN POINT boxes to link accounting concepts in the chapter to their use in the real world. These are sometimes of an international flavor to show students practices outside the U.S.

 Williams puts the student in the

role of the DECISION MAKER:

• Often including an ethical issue, YOUR TURN boxes challenge students to be the problem solver—they must apply what they’ve learned to real situations faced by investors, creditors, and managers. You as a Production Manager You are the production manager of the Assembly Department described in this chapter. One of your responsibilities is to determine if costs are remaining relatively stable from month to month. Assume the $25,000 that is associated with the 1,000 units in beginning work in process for March is composed of $5,050 of direct labor, $15,450 of direct materials, and $4,500 for Overhead. Determine the cost per equivalent unit for the work done in February on the beginning work in process units. Were direct materials and conversion costs higher or lower in February or March? Speculate about why these costs might differ from one month to the next. (Our comments appear on page 800.)

Tracking Costs in Process Costing Using a Production Report

YOUR TURN

• Students are shown the link between management decisions and financial reporting through the MANAGEMENT STRATEGY boxes.
