Advanced Financial Accounting, Paperback Book, By: Richard Baker, Valdean Lembke, Thomas King

The Sixth Edition of Advanced Financial Accounting, by Baker/Lembke/King continues its strong coverage of the topics, its well-known clarity of presentation, and its integrated coverage based on continuous case examples. The text is highly illustrated with complete presentations of worksheets, schedules, and financial statements so that students can see the development of each new topic. In the chapters covering consolidation subsequent to the date of combination, the three alternative methods of the parent company's accounting for the investment-basic equity, cost, and fully adjusted equity-are presented in each chapter and appendices to provide the opportunity to cover the differences in the methods, and to see how the consolidated financial statements are the same regardless of the method the parent company uses to account for the investment. The two international chapters include a comprehensive discussion of accounting for foreign currency derivatives and other forms of derivatives such as interest swaps and options used in today's business arena.
