Review
"The unique aspect of this text is its acceptance that there is some validity to financial statements and [their] managerial focus. Chapters 3, 4, and 14 are unique contributions that are important for the type of course I teach which focuses on a managerial rather than theoretical approach to the topics."

"This chapter (Chapter 10, Estimating the Cost of Capital) is always a difficult area for students to understand. I think the authors have done a commendable job in not making the discussion too technical."
