Our revision plan was devised with feedback from both users and non-users including focus groups from around the country. With years of research studying this market, our author team makes the 16th edition of Fundamental Accounting Principles one of the most innovative and reliable principles of accounting texts in the market. From the Publisher New entrepreneurial feel rather than the traditional 'big-company' approach. Today's students are excited about and grasp the concepts of young start-up companies. This unique entrepreneurial flavor motivates students to read FAP 16e and learn accounting. The chapter opening articles are especially geared toward young entrepreneurs and the relevance of accounting in their business decisions. A few examples of these companies include the WWF, FUBU, Sector 9, eBay, NetLedger, Papa John, Red Hat, JobDirect, Freeplay, and Bags of Money. New entrepreneurial marginal notes and boxed features. Did You Know? and You Make the Call boxes focus on entrepreneurial issues/topics and entrepreneurial business decisions. Also, a new Entrepreneurial Decision problem focuses on business decisions of entrepreneurs using accounting information, which students find much more interesting than your traditional corporate examples. New Entrepreneurial Decision problem is introduced at the end of each chapter to show the relevance of accounting for entrepreneurs and their business decisions. New marginal notes for student have been added providing additional hints, tips, and examples. New Entrepreneurial Icon strategically placed to add a new flavor and excitement for students. These icons are placed in the relevant, chapter-opening vignette, entrepreneurial marginal notes and boxes, and appropriate end-of-chapter materials. New and immediate introduction of actual financial statements in Chapter 1. This chapter is also streamlined for ease of coverage in the first week of classes. Merchandising and Inventory chapters are further integrated and strategically located as back-to-back chapters. This allows students to focus on inventory issues/topics in back-to-back chapters as opposed to several separated chapters. In short, students are better able to understand and assimilate inventory and inventory related topics by integrating these topics back-to-back. The accounting Work Sheet in Chapter 5 is introduced in an Excel format along with a four-page acetate layout to demonstrate its sequential process. Chapter 8, Accounting Information Systems and Special Journals, is revised to reflect perpetual inventory instead of periodic. Surveys point to the dominance and continued proliferation of perpetual inventory systems. Slightly increased coverage of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and e-business systems throughout the text, as appropriate. New Chapter 13 solely covers Accounting for Partnerships. A large percentage of start-up companies are now organized as partnerships (the LLC form). This has created an enormous increase in learning about accounting for partnerships at least from those interested in pursuing the "LLC" version of partnership formation. Corporations are now covered in one chapter, Chapter 14. Coverage is streamlined to focus on those corporate issues most relevant to principles of accounting students. Coverage of Bonds & Notes is streamlined. Coverage of Process Costing is streamlined based on user and non-user feedback. New Topic Tackler multimedia software p
