...The Business of Making Money So you want to make more money, but you don’t know how? This might be the response of most business owners in America today. In taking this course I learned what’s been referred to as King rule, that is, total revenues-total cost= profit. That’s how we make decisions in the business world. It’s so simple and efficient. Because we wake up every morning for money, it’s important to know how to get money. It’s essential to understand the equation and that is why I see it only fitting to discuss King rule in this assignment. Whether you’re a merchant or in a service based business basic principles of accounting and economics hold true. Those principles make up the King rule equation. Business owners are constantly looking for growth to increase their profit. Growth in business is measured from the sales/services provided by company. Simply, sell more and you will make more money. This truth leads owners into thinking that they must increase sells to make more money. But that’s only part of the equation; there is the cost variable that needs to be accounted for. If the business cuts it’s cost, profits will increase as well. This is very simple math and an easily understood concept. The question I raise is, which is more important? I think many business owners want to increase their sales because they see bigger numbers that way. The bigger the numbers, the more money you make! So if you’re working to make money (all of us are), then increasing...

...The Theories on Making Money There has always been a debate over whether socialism or capitalism is the most prosperous economical system. Throughout the years there have been several theories which show favoritism to each system, and with each of these theories there are the opponents. As the debate raged on, the countries that were opposed to one system or the other now use some portion of each system. In 2013 even countries like China and North Vietnam, who are socialist states, are applying forms capitalism and countries like the United States have adopted socialist practices. While explaining the difference between capitalism and socialism we will find out that as the world mixes with each other personally they will also mix economically by convergence. While researching these two topics I found that there is one major factor that each economical system has in common. Governments have chosen to use these systems to rule the people of their countries. It doesn’t matter what each systems in tells, the common factor was that the governments that uses each system believes that it is the only system to use. The differences between capitalism and socialism are so great that entire countries would not use the others system due to past beliefs. Socialism is based on the beliefs that government owns the means of production, which reduces the need for competition between companies. It is intended to provide goods to all people at a reasonable price regardless...

...Making money off complaints One software company holds weekly staff meetings to build morale and allow for status reports from each department. One part of their meetings is the report on how many customer problems they rectified the past week. If the number increased, the group was given praise. When asked why they praise increased problem calls, as opposed to working to fix those problems in the software or documentation, the owner said that they charge for each call, so it is a way to increase their income. In other words, instead of making the customer completely satisfied with the product, they preferred some dissatisfaction, so they could fix the problem and make extra money from it. This software package was a high-ticket, expensive application that was mainly sold to small companies. They also charged $50 for a user manual for the software. Since the customers made a substantial investment in the software, they wanted to continue using it. But I wonder how much ill-will was created, even if the application usually performed well. Complaints that fall on deaf ears Have you ever experienced poor service or purchased a defective product and complained about it, only to have your complaints fall on deaf ears? Many companies that have plenty of business feel they don’t need to bother with complainers. These businesses become very independent, especially if they have a product or service in demand. Some continue to succeed, even though they ignore customer complaints...

...Making money out of football Stefan Szymanski[1] Stephen Hall The Business School, Imperial College London April 2003 Abstract: In the US most economists have argued that professional sports teams are profit maximising businesses, but it is a widely held view in Europe that professional football clubs are not run on a profit maximising basis. This belief has important implications for the impact of policy measures such as income redistribution that are widely advocated. This paper looks at the performance of sixteen English football clubs that acquired a stock exchange listing in the mid 1990s. If the European story is true, we should have observed a shift toward profit maximising behaviour at these clubs. This paper finds no evidence of any shift in this direction. This result is consistent with the view that football clubs in England have been much more oriented toward profit objectives than is normally allowed. Keywords: economics of sport, objective functions JEL classification number: L21, L83 We thank to Dirk Nitzsche for assistance with data collection. We thank Peter Sloane and seminar participants at the CARR Outreach workshop on business history for helpful comments. “Those clubs which have floated to become public companies – Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham- now have as their principal objective the making of money for their shareholders.” -David Conn...

...Money is an obvious incentive to working. Ella Rodman Church’s “Money-Making for Ladies” lists numerous way that the ordinary housewife could make some extra money. Many of the ideas were things that most women already did for their families or could easily do. Church gives advice on how to decorate and make a house seem cozy so that women could offer their spare rooms to people that would pay to stay there. She also gives many ideas such as raising animals, gardening, and preparing foods. I believe that Church’s domestic advice books must have inspired many women to become breadwinners or at least recognize their abilities to support themselves and a family. While I would like to image that the women put their hard earned money to good use,...

...Money Management There are times when individuals feel that all of their money goes to paying off debts. We have credit card payments, car payments, and mortgage payments. Having too many debts can sometimes be overwhelming. While some bills are unavoidable, such as mortgage payments, most bills can be avoided by utilizing better money management skills. Poor money management is the third leading cause of debt (Bucci, 2005). Developing a monthly spending plan is one of the most important steps a person can take when managing his or her money. A monthly spending plan can be useful to track what our expenses are on a monthly basis. In order to track our expenses, we need to write down everything that needs to be paid making sure that we do not forget anything. We then need to evaluate the importance of each expense to see if it is a necessary expense or one we can eliminate. One way to do this is to list those expenses in the order of their importance. One example would be the mortgage on your home. This should be the most important expense on your list. When making your list you need to make sure to write down how much money is needed for each of the expenses. Your monthly expenses should not exceed your monthly income. An example; if your mortgage payment is more than half of your monthly salary, you would not want the remaining expenses to equal more than the remaining 50% of your salary. People whose expenses are greater than their income can become extremely stressed...

...HOMEWORK 1 CHAPTER 2, QUESTION I : HOW DOES THE EXISTENCE OF MONEY REDUCE THE COST OF MAKING TRANSACTION, RELATIVE TO A SOCIETY BASED ENTIRELY ON BARTER? ENGLISH IS BECOMING THE USUAL LANGUAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION, EVEN IF THE LANGUAGE OF NEITHER COUNTRY IS ENGLISH. HOW DOES THIS REDUCE THE COST OF TRANSACTION? ANSWER: Money is often seen by economist as means of exchange and also a means of eliminating the inefficiency of barter by reducing transaction costs. According to MATSUI and SHIMIZU [2005].By reducing transaction costs (compared to barter), money is alleged to be central in the emergence of market exchange and the full flowering of markets- both for trade among communities, and for exchange within communities, simultaneously making it an aspect of relations between persons, and an object detached from persons. On the other hand, barter is defined as the exchange of goods or services without money changing hands. This means of transaction was widely used throughout the world for centuries since introduced in the pre-historic times. The later form of transaction as was noted incurred a lot of higher transaction costs than monetary transaction. From the above introduction, it is evident that the existence of money is a factor that does reduce the cost of transaction in the sense that, the two parties involved are familiar with each other and did not need to look for each other or advertise to make themselves known to each other...

...they are equally important and their functionally has aided in making payments quick and easy in today’s fast paced society. The differences are huge, but they can impact people’s lives in different ways. While in today’s world 73% of people use less cash than ten years ago, this could become a bigger problem in the world. Many people wonder why using a card is safer than using cash? Most of them do not like carrying around a lot of cash due to the fear of losing it. Once it is lost, there is no way to replace it. Cash cannot be replaced; on the contrary, if one loses their credit card they are protected. If a credit card is lost or stolen one can easily put a hold on the account. If someone besides the owner uses it, the credit card company will investigate it and the most that is required is to pay a minimal amount, if that. Carrying cash is often not an option when making large purchases because of the possibility of losing it or the possibility of being robbed. Credit cards offer more security and it is much safer and easier to use a credit card. Very few businesses offer a reward while paying with cash. However when one pays with a credit card, the company normally offers the buyer a rewards program where they can earn something back on the purchases they make. Credit card companies offer a “Cash-Back Card” which allows the user to receive cash back at the end of the month when a certain amount of money is spent. A “Points Card” allows the user to accumulate points...

...Question 1 | : | Before a person borrows money from a bank to make a major purchase, which question is considered most important for the person to answer? | Correct Answer | : | D: Do the benefits of making the purchase outweigh the costs of borrowing the money? | Reason | : | In making a major purchase that requires a person to borrow money, the individual needs to take into consideration the opportunity costs (what is the trade off in making this purchase) involved with borrowing money in addition to the actual cost of the item. For example, if someone has saved $2000 to buy a used car, is he or she better off buying the older car that may need some work or is the person better off taking out a loan for an additional $5000, paying the interest on the loan as well as the principal, and having a newer, hopefully more reliable car. Or, is the person just borrowing the money to purchase a car with more extras and glitz and would be just fine with the $2000 car. | Your Answer | : | C: Can I just pay for the item on a credit card and pay off the amount due each month? | | Question 2 | : | An example of closed-end credit is a | Correct Answer | : | C: mortgage. | Reason | : | Open-end credit is a revolving line of credit that is offered by banks and other lenders to consumers. There is a limit set on the line of credit and the funds are accessed using a credit or debit card or a check or cash advance. Consumers pay interest on the outstanding balance. There are closed-end...

...Merriam-Webster, a budget is “a plan for the coordination of resources and expenditures” or “the amount of money that is available for, required for, or assigned to a particular purpose” (Merriam-Webster). A budget will help you realize your true income, assess your debt, see how your money is really being spent, and should help you save on some of your unnecessary spending. Budgeting is one of the most important factors when it comes to financial stability. A budget is a precise way to help you live within your means and get your finances under control. Making an individual or a family budget will assist you in your planning when it comes to saving for the education expenses of you or your children, maintaining an emergency fund, planning vacations, buying a home and numerous other unexpected events that life may throw your way. IMPORTANCE OF BUDGETING AND SAVING Creating a budget should be a very simple process. You need to figure out how much money you have coming in and how much money you are paying out. List all of your expenses for the week, month, or year. Don’t forget to include money for emergencies, savings, weekends, and maybe a few dollars for lunch or snacks everyday. You will then be able to figure out how much money you have left and may be able to save a little more than what you are already setting aside. If you have some trouble making your budget, try recording all of your...

...heard of the old saying “Money is the root of all evil,” but have you ever sat down and really thought about it? Do we realize just how much money controls our lives? Here’s some questions: Why do people rob others? Why has prostitution been a job since the beginning of time? Why do most companies focus on quantity over quality? Why are many people unable to get an advanced education, or some even a basic education? While there is more than one answer for each, the overall general reason is money. To begin with, I will take us back to nearly the beginning of human time. While it’s impossible to know for sure, it is widely thought that the barter system has been around for as long has humans have. Say I had a cow, but I needed more farming equipment. I would go around offering my cow to others that had the tools I was looking for. However I had to be lucky to find someone who thought a single cow was worth the tools I was asking for, so many times negotiations were made. This could be anything from adding on a couple chickens or pigs, to helping someone hunt a mammoth. The barter system, while effective for the time, was slow and eventually became difficult not to get ripped off. That’s when currency came into the world. A random object like a shell, cocoa beans, or even rocks were given a predetermined value that was accepted throughout a community or society. Eventually they moved to making a specific object like coins. Then banks started making paper money, which could be used...
