Instructors wishing to cover special journals in an alternative two-chapter approach may elect to have College Accounting: Special Journals, an Alternative to Ch. 11 & 12 bundled with the text at no additional charge.
• NEW! More Web Resources: WebTutor Advantage has been enhanced and expanded. It is now possible for instructors to test students over the Web using the text's ExamView testbank.
• Comprehensive Problems: The text includes two comprehensive problems that can be used as mini-practice sets. New to the problem following chapter 16 is a second period, which allows students to see the accounting impact of multi-periods.
• Quickbooks, Peachtree, and P.A.S.S. Supplements: For those schools wanting their students to gain experience with business software, these products are available so that students may solve many selected assignments from the text. These assignments are identified by a major icon. A fully functional version of the Peachtree software or the P.A.S.S. software is provided as part of the related supplement.
• All-New PowerPoint Presentations: The concepts and procedures are reinforced through this carefully developed visual presentation. These slides may be used in class as well as independently by students through the text's web site.
• Internet Assignments: Starting with chapter 7, there are "Web Works" problems that involve the students in using the Internet as a resource for answering questions.

• Repetition of Key Topics: Students benefit from repeated exposure to important concepts and techniques.
• Narrative Approach: Heintz and Parry use a continuing example to help students understand topics. First comes a sole-proprietorship, service-oriented business, then a sole-proprietorship retail business, a chapter on partnerships and finally, in the last chapters, a corporate retail and manufacturing example.
• A & B Problem Sets: Similar types of problems are grouped together so that instructors can demonstrate one in class, then assign a similar one for homework.
• NEW! Computers and Accounting: Revised and expanded, these special sections expose students to the way computers are used in accounting today.
• Demonstration Problem: Within each chapter there is a review problem (with solutions) for use as study-aids or as an in-class example.

• On-Line Quizzes: Students at adopting schools may access chapter-by-chapter quizzes (at the Heintz/Parry web site) that reinforce key concepts within the 18th edition. Now students can get valuable feedback the night before that big exam.

• NEW! Check Figures: These helpful benchmarks are now provided in the text's margin by applicable assignments
• NEW! Self-Study Test Questions: This test, which provides an overview of the chapter, is now located right after the Review Questions. This new placement provides a natural flow for the student's review before working the chapter's assignments.
• NEW! New Assignment Numbering System-To provide easy designation of assignments, the set "A" assignments (exercises and problems) are now numbered consecutively.
• NEW! Challenge Problems: Now following the Mastery Problem in each chapter, the Challenge Problem contains a reminder, in the margin, that this problem is intended to challenge students to think step beyond the chapter's coverage.
• NEW! Enhanced Flexibility: Comprehensive Problems 1 and 2 each contain a "Part 2" that takes students into a second period. In addition, Comprehensive Problem 2 can be assigned using only a general journal or using special journals, depending on the instructor's preference.
• NEW! Extensive Homework Help: Personal Trainer 3.0 is a new generation of homework assistant. Now, each assignment in the text is included. Instructor's can easily select those assignments they want their students to complete using this helpful tool.
