...Cash Basis or Accrual Basis Lisa Wilson-Chavez ACC/497 June 13, 2016 Brain Teaser 4: Cash Basis or Accrual Basis The two main methods in accounting used to keep track of income and expenses are the cash basis and the accrual basis. The cash basis is the preferred method in small companies and its income is not counted until cash is received and expenses are not counted until they are paid. When using the accrual basis income is recorded when the order is made or the service occurs, and the same with expenses, they are recorded when the goods or service are received. Smaller companies will use the cash basis of accounting but when their business grows, it is mandatory to use the accrual method if the business has sales of more than $5 million, or if you have inventory and sales of $1 million on an annual basis. Identify What Standard Setters have said as to the superiority of accrual accounting relative to a cash basis. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is recognized by the Securities and exchange commision as the accounting standard setter for public companies. The FASB believes that using accrual accounting provides a better picture of a company’s true financial health, and for this reason is a better choice than cash accounting. The FASB is recognized by many organizations as an authoritative entity. Alicia states that in finance literature there seems to be an emphasis on cash and why if cash is so important why does the FASB...

...de San Juan de Letran Niceforo Vince A. Balbedina III Midterm Requirement General Psychology Movie Reaction Write-up Disney’s Pixar’s Inside Out Born in the 21th century, I was blessed enough to grow up in the luxury that is modern animation in entertainment. I remember the first animated movie I saw was DreamWorks’ Prince of Egypt. From then on, my fascination over animation and cartoons ran like water. I was five years-old when my mother let me watch my first Pixar film which was “Toy Story”. From that moment on, Pixar never failed to fascinate me. Last Wednesday, cinemas nationwide premiered Pixar’s latest work, Inside Out. I already saw the movie trailer before I went to watch the movie itself. The movie teaser was very intriguing. In the 4 minute video, they showcased all of their classic movies and the emotions that they threw towards the audience. After the memory montage, they introduced five characters each symbolizing the five root emotions of man; Joy; shown as a yellow figure that resembles the shape of a star, Sadness; shown as a blue character that resembles the shape of a tear-drop, Anger; the red fellow in the shape of a box, Fear; the purple figure that resembles the shape of a question-mark & Disgust; shown as a green character that resembles the shape of a broccoli. The plot of the story was as simple as it was intricate. It was about the struggle of a young girl, named Riley Andersen, as her emotions meet a dilemma that...

...Instruction: Before you begin, you need to know that there really are 21 Bible book names in the paragraph below, now, look for them. Goodluck! I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu kept, people looking so hard for facts. For others, it was a real revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the book are not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. It should be a most fascinating new moments from you. Yes, there are some books that will be a hard job to find, but those are the most fun. Can a human being really find all twenty-one of them? At the worst, you would find fifteen. No defect in the genes is required, although i will admit it it usually takes a minister to find one of them and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. What will you keep from answering this challenge? A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. How long can you keep working on it only you can judge so long as you try to complete. Remember, we've had fun seeking out 21 books of the Bible, but it is far more important to "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness". it's always true, God loves you.

Concussions are TBIs, traumatic brain injuries, which are caused by severe impacts (1). With concussions comes many symptoms and ways to prevent concussions from happening. Concussions are oblivious and can happen by contact sports, falls, and even car accidents (1). Some symptoms of concussions include headache, nausea,...

...electrical signals generated in adjacent axons. End Bulbs or Terminal Bulbs: Look like tiny bubbles that are located at the extreme ends of the axon's branches. Each one is like a miniature container that stores chemicals called neurotransmitters, which are used to communicate with neighboring cells. Synapse: An infinitely small space (20-30 billionths of a meter) that exists between an end bulb & its adjacent body organ (heart), muscles (head), or cell body. 2. The central nervous system: Made up of neurons located in the brain & spinal cord. 3. Differences between neurons and nerves affect recovery, One reason neurons have only a limited capacity to be repaired or rewired after damage is that there is a genetic program that turns off regrowth when neurons become fully grown by causing problem with motor coordination, strength and sensation. Recent advances in stem cell research suggest the human brain may be able to grow more neurons. If this were possible, the brain could repair damage caused by an accident or disease, such as Alzheimer’s 4.

...the flight or fight response, which causes an increased in your heart beat and its different responses instead of what an actual emotional trigger would cause. This particular theory isn’t something that everyone believes in because of certain research on patients. With this particular emotion it has the result of someone’s individual perception to their reaction and also bodily changes. The Cannon-Bard theory takes the James-Lange theory and it builds more into it and continues it, it is also altered. The Cannon-Bard theory says that the experience and the expression of someone’s emotions are two totally different things. Although it’s two different things is also thought of having equal responses that are caused by the feelings of the brain from the emotions and also the autonomic and somatic nervous system's expression. It’s also said that one does not initiate or in no way directly cause the other. This theory unfortunately is not proven due to different analysis as well due to some reports that also show the autonomic and somatic nervous system. Emotional expression is thought to be controlled by...

...Genetics, Brain Structure, and Behavior: Future Directions While there are many disorders or illnesses that involve genetics, brain structure and behavior the most fascinating is Parkinson’s disease. In this paper the following information will be approached, what defines the illness of Parkinson’s disease, how Parkinson’s disease can change the structure of the brain and an individual’s behavior, what the current problems with diagnosing Parkinson’s disease are, what the current issues are with the preventive therapies related to Parkinson’s, what are the future therapies that may be used to diagnose and treat Parkinson’s. The last thing that will be discussed is any questions that are left to be answered about Parkinson’s that is to say what the scientific and medical field do not know about Parkinson’s. According to "Pubmed Health" (2013), “Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the brain that leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination.” Also according to “Pubmed Health” (2013), “nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to help control muscle movement. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the brain that make dopamine are slowly destroyed. Without dopamine, the nerve cells in that part of the brain cannot properly send messages. This leads to the loss of muscle function. The damage gets worse with time. Exactly why these brain cells waste away is unknown.” There are several symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and...

...Within the skull lies the most complex organ known to mankind -- the human brain. With a mass of only 6 kilograms, the brain contains over 100 billion living cells and 1 million kilometers of interconnecting fibers; but, exactly how does it function? Marketing and sales managers would love to know why consumers are attracted to certain advertising, packaging and brands. Martin Lindstrom, author of Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, explains the marketing challenge, “When we walk down an aisle in a grocery store, our purchasing decisions are made in less than four seconds…there is no way we can think about that in a complete way. Those decisions take place in the subconscious part of the brain” (2008). The drive behind neuromarketing is to discover how consumers are actually responding to marketing messages, not how they report they are responding, or will respond. Neuromarketing studies consumers' response to marketing stimuli and matches that response to different areas of the brain. This research will explore neuromarketing history, levels of the brain, neuroimaging techniques used, advertising effectiveness of neuromarketing and some challenges facing this new field. History In 1991, Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson, Minilab chairman and director of research, began Neuromarketing research in the United States, after stumbling upon it when he was researching treatments for phobic anxiety and stress (Lewis, 2010). Shortly after, marketers from large companies such as Coca-Cola...

...teenagers end up abusing alcohol. Some have lost their lives due to alcohol abuse. Each year, more than 5,000 young people below 21 years of age in the U.S. die due to alcohol abuse and alcohol related cases. This is a great loss to the society. The government is compelled to set aside funds for rehabilitation centers. The U.S. law does not allow anyone below the age of 21 to drink alcohol. Dangers of Underage Drinking Underage drinking is the chief cause of death among teenagers. Many deaths among young people are due to excess drinking. Excess drinking leads to accidents, homicides, suicides, drowning and other injuries. Too much drinking can harm the brain growth. The brain continues to enlarge and mature from birth through teenage, up to the early adulthood. The prefrontal cortex, the brain responsible for planning and decision making, can be damaged by early engagement in alcohol. The teen’s reasoning capacity will be affected, resulting to poor performance in class. However, it is not well known how drinking alcohol will influence the long-term memory of people who started abusing alcohol...
