Business

For undergraduate/graduate one-semester courses in Financial and Management Accounting, and one-semester surveys in Accounting.

Terrell and Terrell elevate student understanding through two interwoven examples!

Terrell and Terrell present financial and management accounting topics as they occur in a real start-up business. The book presents the evolution of a fictitious business from its formation, looking first at the strategic planning and research to organize the business, financing the plan, investing in the resources, amd operating the business.   As students record the details of the accounting, they learn the accounting cycle culminating with the financial statements, to analyze the information for internal management decisions, and to compare the business with other real businesses.

• Coverage of financial and management accounting in a single semester—Makes this text perfect for all majors!

  • Introduces students to all of the core concepts of first-year accounting in a natural order—as they would appear when starting a new business.
