...Maynard/Stow — “Every once in a while, people need to be in the presence of things that are really far away.” This was the concluding sentence of a short essay by Ian Frazier appearing in the New Yorker magazine, February 2011. You know – like mountain tops, the Grand Canyon, the Empire State Building or the bow of the Titanic (before it sank). Maynard and Stow offer remarkably few opportunities to be in a place where distant vistas are a view. Once upon a time Summer Hill, now tree-covered and trail-crossed, was open pasture. History Society pictures taken as recently as World War II show an expanse with few trees. Decades earlier, state surveyors installed an official stone marker atop Summer Hill, with the expectation that from that point, clear viewing was available in all directions. Marble Hill, at 440 feet, the highest elevation in Stow, is similarly tree-obstructed. Stow does offer a hill with a present-day view. Stories hold that ships’ pilots in Boston harbor used the stand of pine trees atop Pilot Grove Hill as a navigational landmark, suggesting that in the reverse direction a person atop the hill could see Boston’s skyscrapers. Alas, not so. Mayhap from a treetop, but not from ground level. However, Birch Hill Road, elevation 370 feet, does offer a glimpse of Mt. Wachusett, twenty miles to the northwest. Bridges can offer vistas. White Pond Road over the Assabet River, on the Stow/Maynard border, offers good views up and down river – albeit less than...

...John Maynard Keynes He was a famous economist born on 5th June 1883. His father was an economics professor at Cambridge. son of a Cambridge economics professor If ever there was a rock star of economics, it would be John Maynard Keynes. Keynes shares his birthday, June 5th, with Adam Smith and he was born in 1883, the year communist founder Karl Marx died. With these auspicious signs, Keynes seemed to be destined to become a powerful free market force when the world was facing a serious choice between communism or capitalism. Instead, he offered a third way, which turned the world of economics upside down. In this article, we'll examine Keynes' doctrine and its impact. (To read about Adam Smith, be sure to check out Adam Smith: The Father Of Economics.) Keynes was ultimately a successful investor, building up a private fortune. His assets were nearly wiped out following the Stock Market Crash of 1929, which he failed to foresee, but he soon recouped. At Keynes's death, in 1946, his worth stood just short of £500,000 – equivalent to about £11 million ($16.5 million) in 2009. His first prediction was a critique of the reparation payments that were levied against the defeated Germany after WWI. Keynes rightly pointed out that having to pay out the cost of the entire war would force Germany into hyperinflation and have negative consequences all over Europe. He followed this up by predicting that a return to the prewar fixed exchange rate sought by the chancellor of the exchequer...

...The contribution to economics of Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes both have had a major effect on economic thought and many of their ideas are still influential today. This essay will look at the contribution that both men made to economic thought. According to Adam Smith Institute (2012), Adam Smith was born in 1723 in Scotland and is popularly known as the father of economics. His best known work is called “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” which is more commonly known as the Wealth of Nations. It was published in 1776 and in it; Adam Smith outlines his main economic ideas. Many ideas in the book were not ground breaking or original but Smith was the first to put them all together. In the Wealth of Nations (1776) Smith begins with an example of a factory that produces pins which he uses to explain the benefits of specialisation and division of labour. Smith explains how: “One man draws out the wire; another straights it; a third cuts it; a fourth points it; a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head” And so on until the pin is finished. Splitting the production of the pins into different operations, would result in more pins being created. Smith believed that 10 workers could produce 48,000 pins a day using specialisation and division of labour. If the workers were to produce pins individually then Smith believed that they would only produce 20 or less pins a day. It was Smiths...

He strongly influenced the economy and became widely recognized while he was still alive. The man who 75 years ago wrote an essay “The Economic Possibilities for our Grand Children” brought very important issues to our attention.

...ASSIGNMENT in FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING Case 2-1: MAYNARD COMPANY (A)* 1. Prepare balance sheets as of June 1 and as of June 30, in proper format. 2. Make comments about how the financial condition as of the end of June compared with that at the beginning of June. In terms of retained earnings, the financial condition of Maynard Company as of June 30 is healthy at $229,446 which has increased from $221,511 as of June 1.

These may be sales made on credit. o Supplies-on-hand increased by $1,071. More supplies may have been purchased for this month. o Purchase of an asset - new equipment (increased by $23,400). o More sales for the month (as explained by the increase in cash and accounts receivable and the decrease in merchandise inventory). o Most purchases were done on credit as observed from the increase in accounts payable. o Current liabilities (accounts payable, bank notes payable, accrued wages payable and taxes payable) have increased at the end of the month, which means cash may not have been yet used to pay for these. 3.

...TITLE: Maynard Company Case 3-1 BACKGROUND: Upon seeing the balance sheet in Case 2-1, Diane Meynard was surprised that cash increased by $31,677 but net income was only S19,635. Her friend will prepare an income statement to find out why and her friend found a record of cash receipts and disbursements. She also learned that all accounts payable were to vendors for purchase of merchandise inventory and the cost of sales was $39,345 in June. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The cash increased by $31,677 but net income was only $19,635. ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION a. To check transactions that affected the income statement but not cash. b. To find out whether Maynard Company uses accrual method or cash basis accounting RECOMMENDATION The change in cash balance was greater than net income as there are certain transactions in the income statement that do not affect cash balance/ the balance sheet, and vice versa. The transactions that affected the income statement but did not affect cash are the following: revenues recognized from credit sales, depreciation, amortization of prepaid insurance, and accrual of wages and taxes. On the other hand, the transactions that affected cash/ the balance sheet but did not affect net income are the following: availment of bank loans, declaration of dividends, payment of Diane Maynard’s loans to the company, purchase of equipment and other assets, and accounts payable. CONCLUSION a) $14,715 represents only the amount of merchandise purchased...

In 1944, he led the British delegation to the Bretton Woods conference in the United States. At the conference he played a significant part in the planning of the World Bank and then MF. White was the chief international economist at the U.S. Treasury. In 1944, he drafted the American plan for the IMF that competed with the British Treasure blueprint drafted by Keynes. Most of White's plan was incorporated into the final acts adopted at Bretton Woods. The IMF was given the role of promoting global economic growth through international trade and financial stability. One of Keynes' most significant roles was as chairman of the Bank Commission. Under his leadership, the Bank articles were drafted rapidly and successfully despite the lack of pre-conference groundwork regarding the organization of the World Bank. Neither Keynes nor White lived to see their visions of the IMF and the World Bank become reality. Both men died of heart attacks...

...Macroeconomics: The Study of Our National Economy Macroeconomics: The study of Our National Economy “Our new economic approach is rooted in ideas which stress the importance of macro-economics, post neo-classical endogenous growth theory and the symbiotic relationships between growth and investment, and people and infrastructure”. (Brown) As we have seen here in the past few years, but more so in the last year, the economy is ever changing. Macroeconomics is the backbone of America and without a stable economy we have serious hurdles in front of us to overcome. John Maynard Keynes developed the Keynesian Theory, which has become the foundation of our government’s economic decisions. During the course of this paper I will outline Keynesian Theorists and Monetary Theorists approach to promote long-run macroeconomic stability, the impact of persistent budget deficits on the trade deficit, options available to policy makers when national savings presents opportunity to improve the trade deficit, appraise the position of the supply side as it relates to government deficits and evaluate recent national economic policies as they relate to the magnitude of the trade deficit. In essence, the inner workings and use of macroeconomics as a financial tool of study to determine how a national economy is managed and sustained. To begin, Keynesian theorists approach to promote long-run macroeconomic stability is somewhat unique. Economist who agree...

Alfred Marshall (1842 - 1924) Alfred Marshall was an Englishman and one of the most influential economists of his time. His book, Principles of Economics (1890), was the dominant economic textbook in England for many years. It brings the ideas of supply and demand, marginal utility and costs of production into a coherent whole. He is known as one of the founders of neoclassical economics.

...John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes CB FBA ([pic] /ˈkeɪnz/ kaynz; 5 June 1883 – 21 April 1946), was a British economist whose ideas have profoundly affected the theory and practice of modern macroeconomics, as well as the economic policies of governments. He greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles, and advocated the use of fiscal and monetary measures to mitigate the adverse effects of economic recessions and depressions. His ideas are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics, as well as its various offshoots. He enjoyed his work at first, but by 1908 had become bored and resigned his position to return to Cambridge and work on probability theory, at first privately funded only by two Dons at the university – his father and the economist et it was not a successful one for him. Keynes's main interest had been in trying to prevent Germany's compensation payments being set so high it would traumatise innocent German people, damage the nation's ability to pay and sharply limit her ability to buy exports from other countries – thus hurting not just Germany's own economy but that of the wider world. Unfortunately for Keynes, conservative powers in the coalition that emerged from the 1918 coupon election were able to ensure that both Keynes himself and the Treasury were largely excluded from formal high-level talks concerning reparations. Their place was taken by the Heavenly Twins – the Judge Lord Sumner and the Banker Lord Cunliffe whose...
