Review: It was ok - This was helpful but too many errors it appears that this text book was not edited correctly. If you want to know more about food costing don’t get this book because some of the formulas were incorrect and the editor will not correct them so the problems were real confusing…only get this text book if you are already somewhat familiar with the food costing formulas Review: Excellent book - Excellent book
