...Finance Statements Paper Kimberly Nelson ACC/290 06/12/2012 David Schwanke Finance Statements Paper When preparing financial statements for a company it is important to recognize the four basic financial statements and to understand the purpose of each statement and how it may affect internal and external users. This paper will cover each statement in sequential order and will discuss how the statements are useful to internal and external users. Income Statement- The income statement lists the company's revenues followed by its expenses. The final numbers from this calculation will indicate net profit or loss. The success or failure of the company's operations for a period of time is derived from this calculation. Managers use the income statement as a means to determine if the companies’ operations are profitable. The income statement reports on the success or failure of the company’s operations by reporting its revenue and expenses. Adjustment to its operations may need to take place internally to continue profitability. Investors are interested in past net income because it provides useful information for predicting future net income. Creditors also use the income statement to predict future earnings. Retained Earnings Statement- The retained earnings statement shows the net income retained in the corporation. The time period covering the retained earnings is the same time period of the income statement. That time period can be represented monthly, quarterly...

...Walmart Averages and Financial Ratios Team Paper There are many publicly traded companies on YAHOO!® Finance, and Walmart (WMT) is one of the most well-known stores nationwide, and has a vast amount of public information readily available to the consumer. Walmart is a major retail chain identified with SIC code 5999-Miscellaneous Retail Store because it has such a large assortment of products. Assuming that the inventory ratio of Walmart (WMT) is based on a traditional inventory system, and that the globalized market and the supply chain make it critical to adopt lean principles to create a more efficient system we will discuss how a change in the Just in Time inventory system will affect Walmart (WMT). Just In Time Inventory A just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is based on the idea that keeping a large on-hand inventory of any kind is a form of waste. JIT inventory management is an integral part of the lean model, which deals with eliminating wasted resources, energy, time and money in the manufacturing process. The ideal goal of JIT manufacturing is to have precisely the right amount of components or materials on hand at any given moment, with as little idle inventory as possible. Traditional inventory systems, on the other hand, seek to have enough inventories on hand so that production may continue even in the face of unexpected shortages or shipping delays (E How). If Walmart were operating on a traditional inventory system, and switched to a Just in Time Inventory it...

...Jella Mae Macalima November 24, 2014 BSTM-2B Ms.Ana Esquierdo “9 RULES OF FREEDOM OF THE AIR” The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airlines the privilege to enter and land in another country's airspace, formulated as a result of disagreements over the extent of aviation liberalisation in the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, known as the Chicago Convention. The United States had called for a standardized set of separate air rights to be negotiated between states, but most other countries were concerned that the size of the U.S. airlines would dominate air travel if there were not strict rules. The freedoms of the air are the fundamental building blocks of the international commercial aviation route network. The use of the terms "freedom" and "right" confer entitlement to operate international air services only within the scope of the multilateral and bilateral treaties (air services agreements) that allow them. The first two freedoms concern the passage of commercial aircraft through foreign airspace and airports, the other freedoms are about carrying people, mail and cargo internationally. The first through fifth freedoms are officially enumerated by international treaties, especially...
