• A comprehensive review problem at the end of Chapter 4 serves as a mini practice set to test all material
covered to that point. Another comprehensive problem at the end of Chapter 19 reviews the material covered
in Chapters 18 and 19. Two comprehensive budgeting problems are also included as business decision cases at

the end of Chapter 23.
• Some of the end-of-chapter problem materials (questions, exercises, problems, business decision cases,
other "Beyond the numbers" items, and comprehensive review problems) have been updated. Each exercise
and problem is identified with the learning objective(s) to which it relates.
• All end-of-chapter exercises and problems have been traced back to the chapters to ensure that nothing is
asked of a student that does not appear in the book. This feature was a strength of previous editions, ensuring

that instructors could confidently assign problems without having to check for applicability. Also, we took
notes while teaching from the text and clarified problem and exercise instructions that seemed confusing to
our students.
