Accounting Principles
Jerry J. Weygandt, Paul D. Kimmel, Jill E. Mitchell · 15th Edition · ISBN 9781394243600 · Wiley
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Accounting Principles (15th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 27 chapters.
Overview
Weygandt's Accounting Principles (15th Edition) is a standard introductory accounting text that walks students through the entire foundation of the discipline, from the accounting equation to managerial decision-making. It covers the complete accounting cycle — recording, adjusting, and closing entries and preparing financial statements — then builds into merchandising operations, inventories, internal control and cash, receivables, plant assets, liabilities, partnerships, and corporate accounting, before shifting into managerial topics such as job order and process costing, cost-volume-profit, incremental analysis, budgeting, and planning for capital investments. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you study in the same order your professor teaches and can drill the entries and calculations that appear on exams. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a reproduction of it — designed to surface the priority procedures, formulas, and problem-solving steps so you can review high-yield material efficiently for midterms and finals.
Aligned with introductory financial and managerial accounting courses (Principles of Accounting I and II), with practice that mirrors the journal entries, statements, and problem sets tested on course midterms and finals.
