...Topic: Cash basis versus Accrual basis of accounting The cash basis of accounting, sometimes called cash accounting, is still used by some small companies whose business activity is uniform throughout the year--receiving and disbursing roughly the same amount of cash each month. Many individuals also use cash accounting.( Edmonds, McNair, Milam, and Olds, Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts, 4th edition, McGraw-Hill Irwin, 2002) In the cash basis of accounting, the business records are "cash in" (deposits to the bank account) called cash receipts, and "cash out" (checks) called cash disbursements. Cash receipts - Cash disbursement = Cash flow. Each month's cash flow is added to the preceding month's cash balance yielding the current month’s cash balance. The cash basis of accounting is more likely to be used by service businesses than by retail or manufacturing businesses. Service businesses usually do not need equipment and can sell a service they perform with nothing more than their own hands and minds. Think of people who are lawyers, writers, public relations and advertising personnel, and accountants. There are two problems with cash accounting: 1) A business has difficulty in determining if it is earning a profit unless it is a small service business that does not own any property or equipment and does not have a number of contracts in progress, and 2) A business cannot keep track of any asset except cash. The cash basis of accounting does a poor job of...

...if they cannot be measured precisely. According to the definition, liabilities are economic obligations of a firm arising from benefits received in the past that are: (a) required to be met with a reasonable degree of certainty; (b) at a reasonably well-defined time in the future; Airline companies have economic obligations to serve frequent flyer program passengers due to ticket sales (benefits) in the past to the frequent flyer program passengers. These obligations are: (a) likely to be met[1]; (b) fulfilled within a well-defined time in the future[2]; A frequent flyer program has an impact not only on the balance sheet but also on the income statement. In principle, the costs associated with benefits that are consumed in this time period are estimated and recognized as expenses (matching concept)[3]; However, it is not easy to measure the costs associated with frequent flyer program accurately. At least the following three cost categories should be considered in the estimation: 1. The administrative costs, such as maintaining the accounting system for the program, mailings to program members, and providing service to those who request free flights; 2. The costs related to the flight itself, including meal expenses, luggage handling costs, and additional fuel expenditure; 3. The opportunity costs that airline companies may incur because the seats used by flight award...

...Informative Speech Outline I Intro A. Do you guys know what the world’s largest man-made structure is? Well it is not the pyramids of Egypt if that’s what you are thinking. According to Bluewater Recycling Association, the largest structure built by mankind is the Fresh Kills Sanitary Landfill located in Staten Island, New York. The site is 45 meters high, 45 meters deep and covers an area of 120 hectares. B. In the past, dumps took all wastes; industrial, commercial, and hazardous household materials. Landfills are now designed and regulated to hold specific materials. C. Regardless of where we live, work, or play, we generate trash. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, American’s generated 254.7 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2005 and more than half (138.3 million tons) was disposed of in landfills. I did some research and according to Bluewater Recycling this is very dangerous because gas and leachate are the two major problems landfills generate. Landfill gas is roughly 50% carbon dioxide and 50% methane. It is the methane that poses the greatest danger; the gas becomes explosive when mixed with oxygen. Without proper control, methane can leak into pipes and buildings. There has been homes that have exploded from methane leaks caused by being built near old, improperly constructed landfills. D. I will be speaking about how people dealt with landfills in the past, now and how local governments are trying to deal with them...

...catastrophic happened. It took thousands of years to create the world we use to live in but that all came crumbling down in the year 2200. Five years later only a few people have survived and the process to rebuild society is our main goal. But the big question is: What now? How do you survive, and how do you rebuild society? “One of your first problems if society were to collapse, if law and order were to evaporate, would probably be other people,” says Lewis Dartnell, the author of The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch. The book is intended as a “start guide and a quick start manual for rebooting civilisation” in the event of an apocalypse. COLLABORATE TO SURVIVE In such a scenario, to re-create a civilisation that even comes close to resembling the one we know, one of the first things that needs to happen is collaboration. “If we were to go out of this café tonight to see that society has collapsed, you would just fall into a community of likeminded people, just like in The Walking Dead, who could support each other and then you would be just trying to pull yourself back up by your own bootstraps,” Dartnell says.Once we’ve managed to successfully locate other survivors – without the help of Google Maps – a massive hurdle will be having enough humans left who are physically able to repopulate the areas they are living in. The rest of the world comes next. It is science that built our modern world, and it is science that will be needed to rebuild it again For...

...different opinions on how to correct and prevent these recessions from happening we are going to look at the facts that lead to these crisis’ in the U.S. economy. The financial press often states the definition of a recession as two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP. NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) states that a recession is a period between a peak and a trough, which does not necessarily always consist of two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP but a significant decline in economic activity that spreads across the economy and can last from a few months to more than a year. [1] The first recession we are going to explore is The Great Depression which many say started as a recession. Although the economy began to decline in the middle of 1929 and continued to fall until the first few months of 1933, Black Tuesday, (October 29, 1929) was the day the stock market crashed and what many people affiliate to the beginning of the Great Depression. Stock prices plummeted, and since many banks had also invested large portions of their clients' savings in the stock market, they were forced to close when the stock market crashed. People saw banks closing which caused another panic across the country because people where afraid they would lose their own savings, so they rushed to banks that were still open to withdraw...

...Rowell Axia of University of Phoenix Hawaiian Culture Our Hawaiian culture was originally inhabited by the Polynesians that appeared to have begin in 1758 with the birth of Kamehamcha the Great. Captain James Cook, a British explorer, first arrived at Oahu, one of the principal islands of our Hawaiian group, in January 1788. In 1790 Kamehameha undertook the difficult task of bringing all of our Hawaiian Islands under one single rule. After 20 years of intermittent warfare the last island, Kauai, came under his dominion. The Kamehameha Dynasty continued until 1872, ending with the death of the fifth ruler by that name. During this period of time more representatives of the European and American countries made their appearance in Hawaii. Our Hawaii legislature was established in 1845 which was at close of the Kamehameha Dynasty. The U. S. established a temporary territory over our islands during the shift in governments and talks were under way between the two countries contemplating the annexation to the U. S. while an agreement to this effect was completed in Washington, however U.S. President Stephen Cleveland withdrew the agreement prior to approval pending further investigation of conflicting governmental claims in Hawaii. A five-man commission was then appointed to draw up an Act for the government of the new territory of Hawaii. The act was submitted to Congress and it was passed in April 1900. Under this act, all citizens of Hawaii...

...Ethical Issues that Wal-Mart faced in India and China. Wal-Mart’s ethical business management is related to the global environment, which consists of financial markets, cultures, technologies and government policies. The market also consists of hyper competition from different countries such as China and India and regional players in the global environment. China has low cost offshore labor in the “flat world”, so that Chinese imports are so inexpensive to enter in U.S. So many factors lead most US manufactories to close the doors and eventually jobs are lost accelerate. The United States’ economic outlooks vary with regard to the global economy. In my opinion, the labor force is one of technologies in a developing country and it supports the globalization process. China as a global manufacturer and U.S. partner is a great source of world-class offshore technology services. Wal-Mart has its own external and internal stakeholders. WAL-MART Ethically wrongs its Employees * Wal-Mart executives have failed to pay workers overtime and admitted to being trained and told by their superiors to do so. One of the Wal-Mart mgr claimed that he/she has seen every Wal-Mart mgr change the hours other than the General Mgr. the 31 state lawsuits, and $50 MM class action payment in CO convincingly indicate that Wal-Mart violated the law, and in TX it was estimated that Wal-Mart cheated workers out of $150 MM.
