Book Description

Excerpt from Bookkeeping and Accounting Exercises, Vol. 2 Part I of Bookkeeping and Accounting Exercises is designed for students of elementary bookkeeping. Part II is intended for more advanced students of bookkeeping and for those making a study of higher accounting. The exercises are designed to accompany and supplement the work of any textbook, but not to replace it; and the various problems are intended as graded drills in advanced bookkeeping and accountancy and to accus tom the student to thought and research on different lines of business. These drills may be used for personal study, for class drills, for home work, or for examination purposes, and part or all of an exercise may be assigned as a lesson as may seem advisable. They are adapted for use in advanced courses in High Schools or Commercial Colleges, and for Schools, Colleges, or Universi ties conducting courses in Accountancy. While the questions are carefully graded, some of them are made fairly difficult because plenty of easy matter can be found in the regular text books. No rules are given, but where necessary the instructor should make suggestions as to the procedure in working out the more difficult examples. Special features of this book are the extended discussions of Business and Financial Statements, the chapter on Auditing, and the complete Manufacturing Set; also the treatment of Corporations, and the General Review Questions and Problems. The onward march of business and the facility with which great industries are now conducted demand equal advancement in methods of accounting and systematizing. To meet this need, expert accountants are more than ever in demand as creators of efficient accounting methods and as supervisors and auditors. As a consequence a closer study is being made of accountancy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
