To The Student
This study guide is provided as a significant aid in your study of Financial Accounting, 8th
Edition by Jerry J. Weygandt, Paul D. Kimmel, and Donald E. Kieso. The material in the study
guide is designed to reinforce your understanding of the principles and procedures presented in the
textbook. It is important to recognize that the study guide is a supplement and is not a substitute for
the textbook.
This study guide contains the following materials for each chapter in the textbook: (a) study
objectives, (b) a preview of the chapter, (c) a chapter review consisting of 20-30 key points, (d) a
demonstration problem, (e) 20 true?false statements, (f) 20 multiple choice questions, (g) a
matching question pertaining to key terms, and (h) 2-3 exercises. At the end of each chapter,
answers to questions and exercises are provided in order to enable you to assess your
comprehension of the material. Included are solutions explaining why the answer is what it is, so
you get immediate feedback as to what, how, or why.
You will realize the maximum benefit from this study guide by following the approach
suggested below.
1. Carefully read and study the chapter material in the textbook.
2. Read the chapter preview and review material in the study guide.
3. Answer the questions and exercises for the chapter in the study guide and compare your
answers with those provided in the study guide. For any incorrect answers, refer back to
the textbook for a discussion of the point you have missed.
4. Solve the end-of-chapter materials in the textbook assigned by your instructor.
The study guide should be helpful in preparing for examinations. The chapter review
points, class notes, and other materials may be used to determine your recall of the information
presented in specific chapters. When you have identified topics in need of further study, you can
return to the textbook for a complete discussion of the subject matter.
I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of James Emig, Villanova University, in the
