This volume combines the two existing "Schaum's Cost Accounting Outlines" to consolidate the material and at the same time bring it up to date. A single volume covering the whole course will be more attractive to students and better serve their needs. Consolidation has been achieved mainly by eliminating overlap of problem types; no essential topics have been omitted.
