download instant at http://testbankinstant.com Preface This document contains solutions to all of the chapter-end problems for the text, as well as the solutions to the two extended cases. The answers are as complete as possible, with two exceptions. First, some questions may require judgment rather than a quantitative answer. This is especially true for the questions at the end of Chapter 1, but other questions of this type can be found throughout the text. In these cases, it is usually pointed out that there is no single correct answer to the question, and sometimes some guidance on suitable answers is given. A second case in which answers may be incomplete in this document deals with those solutions that rely upon spreadsheet calculations. Although spreadsheets and graphs are printed in this document, sometimes a complete answer to a question requires a number of variations to the same spreadsheet. In this case, usually only one spreadsheet display is printed. To offset this, most of the spreadsheets used in answering chapter-end problems are also available on the Instructor’s Resource CD-ROM or the Companion Website for the text. This document also contains the notes for the questions in the Canadian Mini-Cases. The notes provide suggestions as to what the key points of discussion should be in answering the open-ended questions. On the Instructor’s Resource CD-ROM and the Companion Website are spreadsheets that are used in chapter-end problems or in the problem solutions. The spreadsheets are stored in Excel Version 2002 format, which can be read by all popular spreadsheet programs. The file names indicate the chapter numbers (“Ch” followed by a number). Each file contains a number of worksheets. Each worksheet is named after the corresponding chapter-end problem (the name appears on the sheet tab at the bottom of the worksheet).
