- Abstract
Selection of a textbook for a cost accounting course can be challenging. Many criteria may be considered in such decisions, including a textbook's readability level. However, no study of the readability of cost accounting textbooks has been published in the last thirty years. Using a widely-used readability index, this study analyzes the predicted readability of seven cost accounting texts. T-tests are performed to determine whether significant differences exist between the textbooks. The study finds that one text is more readable than most of the others. Another text is less readable than most others. These findings can be useful to adopters and editors of cost accounting textbooks.
