**Textbook:   Financial Accounting 6^th edition, Weygandt Kimmel and Kieso, Wiley & Sons Publishers ISBN 978-0-470-12884-8.  5^th or ISV editions are OK but classwork and homework problems differ from 6^th edition. However, I have provided 6^th edition classwork and homework problems on class website.
