Terrible have written book. So hard to read. Sentences unnecessary long and badly (poor English really) written. Even our professor said he is disappointed, so he will be switching to another book. This books is impossible to comprehend.
Surely there must be a more accessible source for understanding accounting approaches to security vacation.The authors address topics obscurely and the chapter exercises hardly promote.much better understanding. It does serve as a reference, but the valuation models are too complex, much more than they need be.I am pursuing a graduate degree in finance, and taking this course simultaneously with a finance approach to valuation. Both classes emphasize the need to understand financial statements, but students of finance try to create models that focus on a straightforward drivers of value. The chapter on eanings based models is of questionable value, as comprehensive income has been used rather than net operating profits.
This book is way too wordy while at the same time not being explanatory enough. It doesn't make sense. Fortunately my professor was able to break things down in a simpler way, so we ended up not using the book very much. But maybe I should be upset about that, considering how pricey this book is - even as a rental.I do feel like if you already have a strong background in finance, this might be a good book to build upon in an advanced finance class, but I can't say for certain.
Its an okay book the problem is that 30-40% of the book is nothing but homework problems, for instance the first chapter is 92 pages long, but the truth is that the chapter ends on page 56 and other 36 pages is homework, case studies and financial statements for those problems/case studies which is a good and bad thing. Like I said it is an okay book especially if you want to be some type of analyst.
I didn't like the book. Too many written notes on it. I am a regular customer but this time I am very disappointed
It is a great book, extremely well-written and a very practical guide to the topic.
Great book but I am wondering how can I return the book when it is due?
