NEW TO THIS EDITION
Greater Emphasis on Data Analytics
Guided by skills required of new graduates and those outlined in the Evolution Model Curriculum presented by the AICPA and NASBA, we have expanded our focus on data analytics. New data visualizations are included within the text and new assignments are available in the end-of-chapter assignments.
- In-Text Descriptive Data Visualizations: In each chapter, we present data in spreadsheets and visualizations
that provide students a new perspective and a deeper understanding of the results.
- In-Text Data Visualization with Analysis Questions: A new question-and-answer section has been added to each chapter. The answers appear at the end of the chapter (following the answers to the Review questions). This allows students to engage in chapter concepts with visual tools allowing for a deeper analysis and improved comprehension of the concepts.
- Data Analytic and Data Visualization Assignments: New Data Analytics problems
have been added
to the assignment section in each chapter, requiring students
to create and analyze visualizations in Excel and Tableau. Reference
to a set of Data Visualization
problems can also be found at
the end of each chapter. The problems require analysis
of (but not creation of) charts. This coverage is added to address requirements in the CPA and CMA exams and to improve the career readiness of students.

Welcome to Cost Accounting with Data Analytics !
As the title suggests, our new edition is enhanced with an expanded and well-integrated coverage of Data Analytics. This update is in line with the rapid technological advances that we are experiencing in our academic settings and in the global business environment. We believe that the integration of data analytics provides a more meaningful and effective learning platform and better prepares students for their next steps in a career in business. The visual display of data provides students a new way to more deeply grasp accounting concepts that may simply get lost in a paragraph of text. We are also excited about the increased opportunities for critical thinking that the analysis provides for students.
Our market research indicates that students' preferred approach to learning has shifted from reading dense text to a more learn-by-doing approach. In response, we have enhanced our pedagogy this edition by making chapter demonstrations more focused: we now pose specific questions and show step-by-step solutions in demonstration problems for each chapter's learning objectives to facilitate active learning. What has not changed, however, is our unmatched, straightforward, and readable approach.
Cost accounting has been and remains a dynamic discipline that must respond to the evolving needs of managers. Along these lines, we have updated the organization and content of the text. We have rearranged some topics to provide a better progression of material, to highlight more relevant topics, and to provide a more logical grouping of related topics. We have also enhanced the content of the text through additional topics or the expansion of existing topics. Our redesign process resulted in the inclusion of two new chapters: Chapter 3 on cost behavior and estimation and Chapter 14 on pricing, sales variances, and customer profitability. We are excited to share these new changes with our current and future customers.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
Greater Emphasis on Data Analytics
See the Data Analytics tab for a detailed description of this new feature.
Active Learning
In this edition, we have pedagogically enhanced our active-learning approach by incorporating at least one demonstration problem in each learning objective. Our research has shown that today’s students want to see how concepts are applied. They would prefer to see an application rather than read about a concept in the abstract. Each demonstration problem is supported by an author-prepared video. As in the prior edition, an additional review problem is available to reinforce the concepts presented in each learning objective. In this way, students see the application of concepts through a step-by-step illustration and then have the opportunity to immediately practice similar review problems. This concept overview-illustration-practice approach keeps students engaged and ensures they have mastered one learning objective before proceeding to the next.
- Road Maps: To establish the active-learning approach of the product and highlight its user-friendly organization, each chapter opens with a Road Map that identifies each learning objective for the chapter, the related page numbers, the guided lecture videos, the demonstration videos, the review problems, and the corresponding assignments. New to this edition, the Road Map has been enhanced with a list of key terms for each learning objective. This raises students' awareness of key terms and allows faculty to quickly see what key concepts are covered in each learning objective. In addition, the new demonstrations displayed in each chapter are listed on the Road Map. This table allows students and faculty to quickly grasp at a glance, the chapter contents and to efficiently navigate to the desired topic. The Road Maps also make it easier for students to work backwards from assignment to illustrative video and example in the text.
- eLecture Videos: Created by the authors, the eLecture videos provide the foundation for students to complete the demonstration problems that follow.
- New Demonstrations and Accompanying Videos: Within each learning objective, is included
at least one demonstration. A key aspect to each demonstration is the positioning of a
key question (signaled with a
red diamond) that is
solved in a step-by-step approach.
Our aim with this approach is to actively engage students in the content of the learning objective. Students will better understand (1) the goal of
the learning objective and (2) how to
solve it. Instead of skimming a section and moving on
to the next, we hope to
engage students in the topic, before they move on to the assignments.
- In-Chapter Review Problems: The emphasis in our approach is to provide students
with a demonstration problem and review problem for each
deliberately selected,
key learning objective. In this way, students see the application
of concepts through a step-by-step illustration and then have the opportunity to immediately practice
similar review problems. At the conclusion of each learning objective, a review problem
is provided with answers included at the end of the chapter. These review problems are presented
to reinforce concepts presented
in the section and ensure student comprehension. By not providing the review solutions
on the same page as the review, we are encouraging students to "learn by doing." In addition, each review problem is accompanied by a short video clip (typically 3 minutes or less) that walks students through the solution to the review.
Increased Focus on Critical Thinking, Nonmanufacturing Examples, and ESG Implications
As part of our deep dive into the content and organization of the new edition, we thought it was particularly important to highlight, and supplement where needed, the following three areas
- Critical thinking: Students often fall into the trap of thinking that there is only one correct answer to a problem. To emphasize the reality of open-ended questions in the accounting profession, we started with a brief explanation of how critical thinking skills are used in problem solving in Chapter 1. Also new to this edition, we added a question to each Review of every learning objective that requires students to apply higher-order critical thinking skills. In addition, end-of-chapter assignments that rise to the level of critical thinking are marked with a new critical thinking icon.
- Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG): The demand for companies to understand and address the risks and strategies related to
ESG considerations is growing. To that end, we have identified and in some cases, supplemented the examples
used in text explanations or assignments that touch on ESG issues. To make these connections more transparent to both faculty and students, we have identified these references with a special ESG icon that is used to mark in-text and end-of-chapter assignment examples.
- Nonmanufacturing Examples: Our text is carefully worded to include the application
of cost accounting concepts to industries other than
manufacturing. To make
these expanded discussions
and end-of-chapter problems
more visible, we have adopted a new icon to mark
the nonmanufacturing examples—primarily that of the service industry.
RETAINED AND UPDATED FEATURES
The eleventh edition of Cost Accounting with Data Analytics provides in-depth coverage of current cost management concepts and procedures in a straightforward and reader-friendly framework. The clean, concise presentation of materials and the updated illustrations reinforce and clarify the topics that readers traditionally struggle with most. The following features have been retained and updated in this edition.
- Real examples and ethical considerations: As with previous editions,
real examples and ethical
coverage are woven into the text so readers immediately see the relevance of
the
cost accountant’s role
in managerial decisions and learn
to go beyond the numbers to think
critically. Related illustrations and real-world examples appeal to
today’s students and clearly exemplify the chapters’ concepts. These examples connect today’s business world with the classroom experience immediately.
- High-quality end-of-chapter assignments: Students practice accounting skills with a wide array of
assignment types, including
Internet research exercises, group activities,
writing assignments, ethical problems, and Excel®
template activities. Questions
test basic chapter comprehension, exercises
offer quick concept checks,
and problems delve deeper into the concepts, testing students’
application of critical topics and procedures.
Many new updates to the end-of-chapter assignments resulted in over 400 new or updated problems over the prior edition. New to this edition is a multiple-choice section, CMA questions from Gleim, and Data Analytic and Data Visualization sections in the end-of-chapter assignment offerings. In addition, all chapters have a varying number of new exercises or problems to supplement the current coverage that are quantitative and autogradable in mBC. - Streamlined, student-friendly approach: Recognized for its unmatched readability, the book’s thought-provoking writing
keeps concepts intriguing and easy to comprehend. This edition’s solid blend of concepts
and practices will help students
clearly understand how to solve actual business problems.
- Developing ethical business leaders: The need for students to analyze business
situations and make informed,
ethical decisions is essential in today’s business world. Cost Accounting with Data Analytics weaves ethical
considerations throughout the chapter so that students learn to think consistently of the ethical
implications of their actions. Potential Ethical Issues at the end of the chapter emphasize
dilemmas students may encounter in business,
and exercises and problems
involving ethical considerations are marked with an ethics icon.
- Comprehensive Chapter Review: Comprehensive Chapter Reviews conclude
each chapter to ensure your students’
mastery of concepts through a list of key chapter terms, succinct chapter summaries, potential ethical issues, solution strategies highlighting
key equations and concepts, and demonstration problems that students can use as a framework for solving similar examples in
homework assignments or exams. These comprehensive reviews reinforce the critical concepts
from the chapter
and show how to apply them. For an example,
refer to pages 2-23 to 2-25.
- Solution Strategies: Each chapter includes a section with an overview of key strategies for the more complex learning objectives. The strategies reinforce the content of the LO through a key formula, schedule, or an outline of steps. These are just another tool beyond the reviews and videos to assist students in working through the assignments.
