...standpoint and keep in mind of ways to put this product on the market. Sole Proprietorship, Partnership and Corporation are the three ways a business is organized. In this report the one will get an overview of which business organization would be the right fit to ensure business success. All Four One, One Does None A product to put an end to all products, a product that any inventor would love to put on the shelves of as many stores as possible and immediately begin raking in the cash; just a dream I believe all inventors imagine. Too bad it’s not that simple. Making the decision of business organization is the beginning process. Which direction do I go in? Sole Proprietorship, Partnership or Corporation? Every organization has its advantages and disadvantages. When considering the Sole Proprietorship, I think about the positive aspects of it. Sole Proprietorship allows me to have complete control over my product and or business. It also gives me the opportunity to sale or transfer my product or business at my own choosing. On top of that, if deciding to form a Sole Proprietorship, I would encounter lesser cost when it comes to the legal aspect. With all advantages there come disadvantages. While thinking if Sole Proprietorship is the way to go, I have to consider the major fact that if I decide on this particular business organization every decision and responsibility including finances fall solely on me. Partnership is also a choice...

...the cost of that capital; see Corporate finance: working capital management. This amount can be determined by making adjustments to GAAP accounting. There are potentially over 160 adjustments that could be made but in practice only five or seven key ones are made, depending on the company and the industry it competes in. NOPAT is profits derived from a company’s operations after cash taxes but before financing costs and non-cash bookkeeping entries. It is the total pool of profits available to provide a cash return to those who provide capital to the firm. Capital is the amount of cash invested in the business, net of depreciation. It can be calculated as the sum of interest-bearing debt and equity or as the sum of net assets less non-interest-bearing current liabilities (NIBCLs). The capital charge is the cash flow required to compensate investors for the riskiness of the business given the amount of economic capital invested. The cost of capital is the minimum rate of return on capital required to compensate investors (debt and equity) for bearing risk, their opportunity cost. Another perspective on EVA can be gained by looking at a firm’s return on net assets (RONA). RONA is a ratio that is calculated by dividing a firm’s NOPAT by the amount of capital it employs (RONA = NOPAT/Capital) after making the necessary adjustments of the data reported by a conventional financial accounting system. EVA =...

...1. The lids of the tumblers I used before cannot perfectly fit the cup. Thus, water can be leaked little by little when I put the tumblers in my handbag. The things in my handbag even get wet. 2. The metal fixtures in some binders are not quite smooth and do not function well. The metal can scratch my fingers and nails when I insert or take out paper from binders. 3. The pigment of highlighters cannot become dry quickly on my textbook paper. My hands and sleeve cuff will be colored then. 4. When I call customer service for my bank account and phone bill, I cannot reach the operator or customer representatives directly. I have to go through several steps to finally reach the operator choice. Sometimes, the instruction of the automated voice is unclear. It is not unusual for me to wrongly go back to the initial menu and to restart different options to reach the customer representatives. 5. In many restaurants, tables are assigned with specific waiters and waitresses. I had the experiences that my friends and I kept looking around to look for my waiters to get ordered, to get silver, or to pay bill, which can seriously affect my mood to enjoy food. 6. The Siri function of iPhone somewhat bothers me. When I move my backpack or lean on it, other things in my backpack can push the home button and activate Siri. Then, the Siri voice function said that “what can I help you?” when I was in class. This also happened to other students as well, which was embarrassing...

...CAP. 1: Le persone,l’attività economica,l’economia aziendale 1.1 La centralità della persona e delle società umane Le persone fanno parte di una società, l’attività economica è fatta ed è per le persone. ← Le persone perseguono molti fini. Le persone non hanno sempre solo fini economici, si ha un progetto e si creano le situazioni adatte per giungere ad un nostro fine, ma non è sempre economio. ← Per arrivare ad un certo fine, abbiamo dei bisogni. (sicurezza). ← Per soddisfare i bisogni occorrono beni economici. (non sempre). ← Le persone svolgono l’attività economica per produrre e consumare i beni economici. Un bene economico può anche essere un semplice vestito per appartenere ad un certo gruppo, se noi non abbiamo queste bene, non possiamo soddisfare il bisogno di stare in quel gruppo. Si hanno delle relazioni tra bisogno e bene, che non sono sempre dirette, questo ponte è l’attività economica. Di solito quando si parla di consumo, si pensa alle famiglie. L’economia aziendale si occupa anche del consumo, beni economici pubblici e privati. Se si pensa ad un attività economica: Stato,Comuni, attività no profit. L’economia aziendale studia l’attività economica all’interno della società, non le aziende. ← L’attività economia si manifesta prioritariamente nel lavoro. Lavoro che non sempre viene pagato. Il lavoro appartiene alle persone, le macchine all’azienda. ← L’attività economica è svolta dalle persone e per le persone...

...| Definition of 'Systematic Risk'The risk inherent to the entire market or an entire market segment. Systematic risk, also known as “undiversifiable risk,” “volatility” or “market risk,” affects the overall market, not just a particular stock or industry. This type of risk is both unpredictable and impossible to completely avoid. It cannot be mitigated through diversification, only through hedging or by using the right asset allocation strategy. | | Investopedia explains 'Systematic Risk'For example, putting some assets in bonds and other assets in stocks can mitigate systematic risk because an interest rate shift that makes bonds less valuable will tend to make stocks more valuable, and vice versa, thus limiting the overall change in the portfolio’s value from systematic changes. Interest rate changes, inflation, recessions and wars all represent sources of systematic risk because they affect the entire market. Systematic risk underlies all other investment risks. The Great Recession provides a prime example of systematic risk. Anyone who was invested in the market in 2008 saw the values of their investments change because of this market-wide economic event, regardless of what types of securities they held. The Great Recession affected different asset classes in different ways, however, so investors with broader asset allocations were impacted less than those who held nothing but stocks. If you want to know how much systematic risk a particular security, fund or portfolio...

...Many science experiments can be explained using mathematics. As you write your research paper, you'll want to make sure that you include as much relevant math as you understand. If a simple equation describes aspects of your science fair project, include it. Writing the Research Paper Note Taking As you read the information in your bibliography, you'll want to take notes. Some teachers recommend taking notes on note cards. Each card contains the source at the top, with key points listed or quoted underneath. Others prefer typing notes directly into a word processor. No matter how you take notes, be sure to keep track of the sources for all your key facts. How to Organize Your Research Paper The best way to speed your writing is to do a little planning. Before starting to write, think about the best order to discuss the major sections of your report. Generally, you will want to begin with your science fair project question so that the reader will know the purpose of your paper. What should come next? Ask yourself what information the reader needs to learn first in order to understand the rest of the paper. A typical organization might look like this: Your science fair project question or topic Definitions of all important words, concepts, and equations that describe your experiment The history of similar experiments Answers to your background research questions When and How to Footnote or Reference Sources When you write your research paper you might want...
