Customer Reviews

Effective reminder ... Efficient reference

I recommend this text to financial professionals I teach ... VERY helpful to clear the cobwebs several years after college!

great resource

I don't know what that reader below is saying.?? This book was very helpful to me when I used this for a finance class. It's great because it has quizzes/exams, definitions, key terms, a useful index, many many sample problems, and formulas in bold. When you are a busy person and are using this as a refresher, or in conjunction w/ a textbook, it's very helpful to have this paperback workbook to go through for a quick reference. I've referred to it many times while reading through my textbook, doing homework problems, or studying for a test. Love the schaum's series - this one in particular has been very useful to me.

Financial Management y Schaum's

This work is a good supplement to the class text. It has hundredsof solved problems depicted. In addition, the Schaum's coversinternational financial management problems which are not alwaysfound in the standard texts. This is a good practiceworkbook to reinforce the current text and class notes.Complex cash flow problems, present value and return on investment problems are shown with accompanying diagrams to aidin the visual presentation. This text is excellent in order toprepare for formal licensing exams and other comprehensivetests .

I passed

I would recommend this book if you are looking to pass the DANTES principles of finance test. The contents of the book match well with the test subjects, and I was able to pass the test. The pass rate for this test is 21%, and this was the only study aid I used.

Perfect for the preparation of CMA

I am an ordinary salery man and now preparing the CMA. Financial Statements are complex and not-easily-understandable ones, but should-be-understood ones for business people or to-be business people(students). This Schaum's series is a good practice book to understand the business language(Financial Statements). Schaum's series are very popular for their problem-driven method in understanding theory. The basic rule is "Good understanding means good applicable ability to our real world". Sometimes students forget this basic rule. I couldn't understand why in my school days I could't practice enough with problems like in the Schaum's. So I chose this book to prepare my CMA exam. It is a perfect practice book for your exam in Financial study and also very fast way to get a picture of the Financial statements. If you are a second tongue in English, this book is the very fast way to understand the English Financial Statements. If you are a native, you are a lucky man because you can get to the top two times faster than a foreigner by this book. Don't give up and good luck!
