Workbook/Study Guide to
accompany Managerial Accounting
Preface
To The Student
This study guide supplements
the tenth edition of Managerial Accounting by Ray H. Garrison and Eric W.
Noreen. Each chapter of the
study guide contains three major sections:
1. The Chapter Study
Suggestions help you study more efficiently.
2. Chapter Highlights
summarize in outline form the essential points in a chapter.
3. Review and Self Test
questions and exercises test your knowledge of the material in the chapter. Solutions are
provided. Caution: If you want to score well on exams, you must work out each solution on
your own and then check to see whether your solution is correct by comparing it to the
solution in the study guide. You cannot leam the material by simply reading the solution
provided in the study guide. This does not work.
This study guide can be used
as an integral part of the process of learning the material in a chapter. When used for
this purpose, we recommend that you follow the steps below:
1. Read the Chapter Study
Suggestions in this study guide.
2. Read the textbook
chapter.
3. Read the outline in the
Chapter Highlights section of the study guide. If you run across anything in the outline
you don't understand, refer back to the textbook for a more detailed discussion.
4. Work the questions and
exercises in the study guide and then compare your answers to those given in the study
guide. If you find something you don't understand, refer to the textbook for help.
5. Work the homework
problems assigned by your instructor.
Alternatively, the study
guide can also be used as a very effective way to study for exams. Before reading the
chapter in your textbook, read the Chapter Study Suggestions in this study guide. Then lay
the study guide aside until it is time to prepare for an exam. The Chapter Highlights
section of the study guide can then be used to review the essential material covered in
the chapter. The Review and Self Test questions and exercises are excellent practice for
exams. The questions and exercises in the study guide are particularly effective used in
this way since they are likely to be similar to the questions and exercises your
instructor will ask on an exam.
Remember, the study guide is
not a substitute for the textbook. Rather, its purpose is to supplement the textbook by
helping you to leam the material.
