Feature Summary

RETAINED FEATURES

McGraw-Hill’s Connect and Connect Plus

McGraw-Hill’s Connect includes the exercises and problems from each chapter in a web-based homework administration environment and allows instructors to design their own tests, quizzes, and homework assignments. Connect also provides automatic grading and feedback to both students and instructors.
The algorithmic mode of Connect presents students with unique data for each exercise and each attempt, providing an infinite number of assignments. Consequently, students can work the same problem structure with different number sets until they master the task. Immediate scoring and feedback option help guide and optimize student learning.
Beyond the Connect features mentioned above, ConnectPlus includes access to an integrated, media-rich online version of the text.
All new texts can be bundled with Connect Plus at a small additional cost.

Focus on Ethics segments, which pose ethical dilemmas or discuss ethical issues and then ask the student for his or her opinion about the issue.

Coverage of environmental cost management

Focus Companies: One of the hallmark features of Hilton's "Managerial Accounting" is its pioneering of the focus company approach. By using focus companies to illustrate concepts, students immediately see the importance of the material and become excited about the content. Each chapter is written around a realistic business that introduces the reader to the topics of that chapter.

Each chapter is written as a self-contained unit to allow instructors maximum flexibility in topic sequencing.

Current Topics: The 10th edition continues to contain very contemporary topical coverage. There is an even presentation of contemporary topics (activity-based costing and activity-based management: Target Costing, Kaizen Costing, the Value Chain, etc.) and traditional topics (job-order costing, cost estimation, cost-volume-profit analysis, budgeting, etc.).

The balanced presentation of Service, Retail, Nonprofit, and Manufacturing examples have been retained. A complete list of the focus companies can be found on the endsheets of the textbook.
