Managerial accounting I have successfully used these cases for two years to enhance undergraduate (juniors and seniors) accounting majors' creative thinking and writing skills and to introduce them to international management accounting issues during their first cost accounting class. Two major advantages of using one case throughout the semester are integration of concepts taught during the semester and reduction in start-up time from studying one rather than multiple companies/cases.

86 What would be the ideal investigation for a suspected pulmonary embolism according to the protocol in a UK hospital?

87 Can the apical pulsation in right ventricular enlargement be hyperdynamic?
