Cost Accounting: Foundations & Evolutions
I prefer the Cost Management text over the Horngren in all 3 respects, organization, completeness and depth of coverage, but mostly the simplicity with which the information has been presented. The exhibits in the Cost Management text are also superior to the Horngren text, in my opinion."Kinney has better organization.  The graphics are cleaner as is the color scheme and page layout. There is a slightly better inclusion of technology and modern management concepts. The end of chapter problems are more inclusive of the chapter’s material."Kinney does a far superior job in integrating real-world data throughout the text.  I really liked Exhibits 6-1 and 6-2 which do a great job in illustrating process costing techniques with a real company.  I like the way the company information and processes are integrated throughout the chapter--this type of integration is far superior to Horngren’s video presentations.
