Authors’ note to tutors b b b




Using the book b b




The book is designed to provide readers with a sound introduction to management accounting. It
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and recognises that students using it may come from a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




wide variety of backgrounds. The book, therefore, tries to avoid technical jargon and does not assume a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




high level of numerical ability from students. It has been class tested by students on various courses and
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




we have modified and refined the material to take account of their comments. We have also taken
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




account of the comments made by lecturers who used the first nine editions of the book and of specially
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




commissioned reviews.
b b




The book aims to encourage an active approach to learning by providing activities and self-assessment
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




questions at appropriate points. This approach is designed to stimulate thought concerning particular
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




issues and to give the readers the opportunity to test their understanding of the principles covered.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




The book is supplemented by a password-controlled lecturers’ website and a student website available
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




to all readers.
b b b




The structure of the book allows the tutor to deliver the subject in a number of ways. It can be used as
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




recommended reading for a traditional course based on lectures and tutorials. There are critical review
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




questions and exercises at the end of each chapter that can be used as the basis for tutorials. It could also
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




provide the basis for a distance learning approach for part-time or off-campus students. For these
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




students, the interactive nature of the book may be extremely useful where access to a tutor is restricted.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




The book can also be used as the basis for an open learning approach for full-time campus-based
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




students. We have successfully used it in this way at the University of Plymouth Business School.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




Accounting ‘surgeries’ have also been provided to give students the opportunity for one-to-one help
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




with any problems they face.
b b b b b




The book is appropriate for modules that are designed to be covered in 100 to 150 hours of study. For
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




full-time students, this will often be covered in one academic year.
b b b b b b b b b b b




PowerPoint slides b




The diagrams in the book, along with other diagrams and materials, are available as PowerPoint slides to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




help in delivering lectures and tutorials and these can be downloaded from the lecturers’ website.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




Practice/assessment material b




The activities, whose solutions immediately follow them, and self-assessment questions, whose
b b b b b b b b b b




solutions are at the end of the book, form an integral part of it. In addition, there are various other
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b

, practice/assessment materials. At the end of each chapter there are four critical review questions. b b b b b b b b b b b b b




These are short, narrative questions involving recall, explanation and brief discussion. The solutions to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




these are given at the end of the book. At the end of all chapters, except Chapter 1 (where there are two),
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




there are eight exercises. These are questions, many involving calculations, which are similar in nature
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




to examination-style questions. The solutions to five of these are given at the end of the book and are,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




therefore, accessible to students. Solutions to the other three are in the following pages of this manual
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




and are not accessible to students.
b b b b b b




On the lecturers’ website, in addition to this Instructor’s Manual with solutions to selected end-of-
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




chapter exercises there are:
b b b b




• Two progress tests with solutions. These tests comprise multiple-choice questions, missing- word
b b b b b b b b b b b




questions and questions that are similar to the end-of-chapter exercises. One test corresponds to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




Chapters 1 to 5, and the other to Chapters 6 to 12.
b b b b b b b b b b b b




• Supplementary questions (10 of them) with solutions. b b b b b b




• Tutorial/seminar questions with solutions. b b b




None of this material, except the case study comments, is accessible to students. On
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




b the student website, there are five types of material:
b b b b b b b b




• Revision exercises, similar in style to the end-of-chapter exercises, with solutions.
b b b b b b b b b b




• Multiple-choice questions, typically 10 for each chapter. These are intended to be tackled online, b b b b b b b b b b b b b




where they will be automatically graded.
b b b b b b




• Missing-word questions, typically 10 for each chapter. These too can be attempted and graded b b b b b b b b b b b b b




online.
b




The multiple-choice questions and missing-word questions are intended to provide students with a
b b b b b b b b b b b b




quick assessment of their mastery of the material of each chapter.
b b b b b b b b b b b




The solutions to all of this material, except to the multiple-choice and missing-word questions, are fully
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




annotated in order to give the necessary feedback to students.
b b b b b b b b b b




We intend to expand the number and scope of the practice/assessment materials on a continuing basis.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




We hope that you and your students will find the book both accessible and interesting. We should much
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




appreciate any suggestions you may have on how the book and supplementary material may be
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




improved.
