...Financial Planning and Literacy: A College Student’s Guide The American Dream of the 20th century is considered dead by most of today’s college students and recent graduates who find that getting a job that they are not vastly overqualified for is almost just as difficult as graduating. For those few students who gratefully find themselves at the bottom of the corporate ladder, the next difficult task is appropriately managing their new $45k salary. Financial literacy is defined as “the ability to make informed judgments and to take effective actions regarding current and future use and management of money” (LaBorde, Mottner, and Whalley 2014). Financial literacy and planning have long been considered issues in the US, but more now than ever, in the wake of a recession, they are of critical importance to those entering the work force. My research has led me to make three primary claims: (1) the US is mostly financially illiterate, (2) financial literacy and financial planning are positively correlated, and (3) good financial habits must be developed early. Financial Literacy All of the data supports the claim that a large portion of the US is financially illiterate; also, young adults and college students have even lower levels of financially literacy than the general public. Research indicates that college students today have an exceptionally low level of financial literacy. One financial literacy survey found that only 53 percent of students...

...customers perceive as adding utility to the goods or services they purchase) to determine how they contribute to the final product’s service, quality, and cost. Financial accounting teaches us to prepare and interpret financial statements Cost accounting we understand how the individual stages contribute to value and how to work with other managers to improve performance. Cost accounting is for managers or internal users – the one who make decisions for the organization. They do not need comparisons instead only use information relevant for the decisions that managers operating in a business environment with a particular strategy make. Managers add value to the organization by the decisions they make. From a different perspective, accoun- tants (you) add value by providing good information to managers making the decision. The better the decisions, the better the performance of your organization, whether it is a manufacturing firm, a bank, a not-for-profit hospital, a government agency, a school club, or, yes, even a business school. so estimates of future costs are more valuable for decision making than are the historical and current costs that are reported externally This does not mean there is no “right” or “wrong” way to account for costs. It does mean that the best, or correct, accounting for costs is the method that provides relevant information to the decision maker so that he or she...

...CASE I NAVEEN FISHERIES LTD. The managing director of Naveen Fisheries Ltd. (NFL) received a message from one of the members of the crew that their mechanized boats had sunk at sea off Paradeep Port Trust due to unfavorable weather. The other directors of NFL ascertained the detailed information regarding the incident. All the promoters were fresh graduates. Naveem, Praveen, Nagain, Ravi and Chandra were the promoters of the organization (NFL at Vishakhapattanam) with a capital contribution of Rs. 25 lakh each. Three of them had an engineering background. The other two were commerce graduates. They had thought of designing the vessels themselves so that the cost each mechanized boat would be reduced from Rs. 30 lakhs (if they bought them) to Rs. 22 Lakh. They designed three boats and these were sent out with a newly – appointed crew. Two vessels were sent to Paradeep and the third to Kakinada. Unfortunately, the weather was unfavourable. All the vessels sank. The crew also did not have experience. Two workers were injured and the rest arrived sagely. There was significant damage to the vessels and the residue was considered scrap. The cost of scrap of the vessels was nominal. As their working capital was scarce, and they were unable to invest more capital, they were in a dilemma whether to continue the business or not. Case I Questions: 1. What were the reasons for the sinking of the vessels? 2. How could they reorganize the businesses? CASE II MNC CORPORATION ...

...The Media in Canadian Politics 1956 words Media has always been a center of interest of different political intellectuals in Canada. They always tend to use media as a powerful platform to convey their message to the all the stakeholders of Canadian politics. Common people, on the other hand, also use media to transmit their concerns and feedback to their political representatives. Be it the print media, broadcast media or social media, they have always played a significant role in Canadian politics. We have seen the active role of media in the longest election campaign of Canada in recent federal elections. Media influence Canadian politics by serving as an intermediary between the government and the common people, by acting as a public representative, and by shaping people’s perception of the political environment around them. As a common carrier of information for both government and common people, media plays a significant role in Canadian politics. The important part of this role of media is that most of the media act independently to provide unbiased information for both government and common people. This, however, is not always the case. We will discuss biased part of media later in this essay. As an intermediary between government and common people, media reports the news, helps determine the critical issues to be discussed, and enables the transparency in the political structure. Reporting the news is most basic and essential function of media. Common people and...
