...circular flow diagram is a representation of how businesses and households network amongst one another through the product and resource markets. Households supply labor to the resource market. In turn, businesses use this labor to produce goods and services that are provided to the product market. Overall, products will soon be purchased back by consumers and returning to households. The clockwise arrow is to show the movement of real items such as, hours worked and so on. The counterclockwise arrow is to show the movement of money. The reason that income must equal spending in the economy, is because for every dollar spent by some buyer is a dollar of income for some seller. 4. Why does GDP accounting include only the final value of goods and services produced? What would be the problem if intermediate products were included? The reason why only final goods and services are counted, is to steer away from multiple counting. The cost of all intermediate products and services are already included in the final sales price. So by including them would mean that the product(s) where double counted, which would overstate gross domestic product. 5. Describe why GDP can be computed using either expenditures or income? GDP can be computed by either expenditures or income due to the idea that everything that is produced by the economy is purchased. This can be measured by four major categories of spending, which are personal consumption expenditures, gross private domestic...

...A) “I work for a non-profit organization, so all this talk of the full cost of your product or service really isn’t applicable to me.” I would have to disagree with the statement, as full cost of product or service is applicable; however, the majority of the time people or companies will donate or give a discount if asked. For example, if you work for a non-profit organization and are in need of office supplies, why not buy locally from people who support you such as Staples or Office Depot, if these stores are around your area. Local store managers at these stores, when approached, have the authority to donate items to nonprofit organizations. One way you might try this is to have your list of items you need and tell the manager up front that you plan to purchase the items at their store, but you would love their help and support if he could donate any portion of these items. Regardless if anything is donated, a thank you note should be sent to thank the manager at least for their time and/or for their donation. B) “Why would anyone use target costing? It is just too risky if you don’t cover your costs.” I would have to disagree with the statement, as target costing provides a decent amount of advantages for some companies that would help them overlook the risk. Obviously a primary reason why companies use target costing is to plan or project the costs of products before they are introduced, and to ensure that low-margin products are not introduced which do not bring...

...CHAPTER 15 Debt and Equity Capital Review Questions 15–1 A trust indenture is drawn to protect the position of bondholders by imposing restrictions upon the borrowing corporation. One of the most common of these restrictions is that the company must not declare dividends that would cause the working capital to fall below a specified amount. An overly generous dividend policy could leave the company so short of cash as to endanger the position of bondholders. 15–2 Restrictions commonly imposed on a borrowing company by long-term creditors relate to (a) dividend payments, (b) acquisition of property and equipment, (c) increases in managerial compensation and (d) acquisition of additional debt. Such actions are usually permitted only if they will not reduce the current ratio and amount of working capital below specified levels, or increase the debt to equity ratio above a specified level. Creation of a sinking fund is another common requirement designed to assure that cash will be available to pay the long-term debt at maturity. 15–3 The trustee protects the interests of the bondholders by accounting for the issuance and redemption of bond certificates, determining that provisions of the borrowing agreement are observed by the corporation, and reporting periodically on the amount of the liability and of any related sinking fund. This work by the trustee leaves little opportunity for either error or fraud in the issuance, servicing, or redemption of bonds...

...CHAPTER 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction The simple approach Open Data File for Input soon became fraught with all kinds of problems that needed to be addressed. Computer system vendors needed to be able to support the critical needs of a growing and evolving market place that supported the data processing needs of organizations in all fields of human endeavor1. So an innovation comes up – database and DBMS - as a remedy to these huge crises. A database is a collection of related files that are usually integrated, linked or cross-referenced to one another. The advantage of a database is that data and records contained in different files can be easily organized and retrieved using specialized database management software called a database management system (DBMS) or database manager. A database management system is a set of software programs that allows users to create, edit and update data in database files, and store and retrieve data from those database files all using a DBMS2. It consists of a combination of pre-written software programs controlling the following functions of a database: Storage; Organization; Management; Update; and Retrieval of data. A DBMS is categorized according to the data types and structures in use. It accepts and processes data requests from an application program, and responds by instructing the operating system to access and transfer the relevant data. With a DBMS in use, it is easier for an organization to make alterations to their...

...on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction” (Mell). In other words, the cloud uses the Internet to store, access, and process data. Before cloud computing, the only other way to store and process data was through in-house servers, which are simply a server located within the company. The invention of all new technology brings controversy because the amount of issues that could come from it must be compared to the amount of benefits. There are three different types of cloud computing, all of which can be incredibly beneficial for both personal and business use: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) (Turim-Nygren). Although they all function similarly, they take on their own roles and process information differently. The most commonly known is cloud storage such as Dropbox and Google Drive, which are categorized as SaaS. The pros and cons of cloud computing have been debated over the past decade, and individuals and businesses alike have weighed the good against the bad when choosing whether to use it to store and process their data. The decision whether to use cloud computing or in-house servers depends on the type of company and resources it has at its disposal, along with the size and computing needs of the...

The tourism industry is a major contributor to the world economy. According to the estimates of the World Tourism Organization (WTO), international tourism alone generated $1.4 trillion in receipts (4.1 per cent of World GDP) in 2000. Estimates of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), on the other hand, put the impact of tourism on the economy at a much higher level because it includes domestic tourism.
