...Advantages The direct write-off method is simple, and can be used by individuals that maintain a company's set of books yet have no extensive accounting education. Unlike the allowance method that estimates probable losses using various ratios and factors, the direct method is based on an actual amount which may be more superior to the small business owner. Disadvantages Since the direct write-off method records the loss only when the account is determined uncollectible, it may result in a loss from a prior period being charged against unrelated income in a future period. This may result in the distortion of a company's true profit of a given period, and does not comply with GAAP matching principle, which requires expenses to be matched with their associated revenues within the same period.Advantages The direct write-off method is simple, and can be used by individuals that maintain a company's set of books yet have no extensive accounting education.

...Decision making is a vital component of small business success. Decisions that are based on a foundation of knowledge and sound reasoning can lead the company into long-term prosperity; conversely, decisions that are made on the basis of flawed logic, emotionalism, or incomplete information can quickly put a small business out of commission (indeed, bad decisions can cripple even big, capital-rich corporations over time). All businesspeople recognize the painful necessity of choice. Furthermore, making these choices must be done in a timely fashion, for as most people recognize, indecision is in essence a choice in and of itself—a choice to take no action. Ultimately, what drives business success is the quality of decisions, and their implementation. Good decisions mean good business. The concept of decision making has a long history; choosing among alternatives has always been a part of life. But sustained research attention to business decision making has developed only in recent years. Contemporary advances in the field include progress in such elements of decision making as the problem context; the processes of problem finding, problem solving, and legitimation; and procedural and technical aids. THE ELEMENTS OF DECISION MAKING THE PROBLEM CONTEXT All decisions are about problems, and problems shape context at three levels. The macrocontext draws attention to global issues (exchange rates, for example), national concerns (the cultural orientations toward decision processes...

...Melody Lane Assignment 1 SOC100 Professor Farr 7/27/2013 How does sexuality and religion conflict in society? Sexuality is the way a person perceives oneself through the means of sexual attitude or desires. Human sexuality is socially constructed and sexual desires are imbedded in particular sociological and biological contexts (Tolman & Diamond, 2001) which are in turn influenced by an individual's upbringing and exposure to familial or religious interactions. Whereas religion plays a role of a person attitude and desire towards sex and what is deviant behavior. The article I have chosen “Sexuality& Religion” touch basis on how different religions play a role on human sexuality in sociological concepts. Although this article is primarily based on existing research cause it also has history of sexual beliefs in different religions. This article is informational and I learned a few things about how some religions had different views on human sexuality. Based on Christian beliefs we are taught that sex is immoral and its temptation of the flesh. According to the article early Christians believed the same thing. Through the means of marriage is to encourage monogamy, and place parameters around sexuality. Through the years I have learned sex is a sin and one should wait till they are married. “Sexual abstinence was seen as a central and indispensable means of salvation and was achieved through contemplative withdrawal from the world.” (Sprague Sexuality...

...Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has sought to move his team beyond past behavior problems into a new era. To do so, he made senior players accountable for making sure teammates act properly at all times. Determine whether you agree or disagree with his approach. Support your reasoning. Propose ways that those without formal authority can manage others. Making senior players responsible for making sure team players act as a team, can work if the senior player display effective leadership abilities and all other team members’ work effectively together in order to function as a team. As a senior, you are expected to act a certain way and hold teammates accountable for their play on the field. Seniors can lift their team by giving pep talks, holding team only meetings and support each other when one get into trouble. Through communication and substantial planning the team should be able to function as a great team. Examine two different ways of managing group behavior problems. Determine which method you believe to be the most effective. Provide a rationale for your selection. The first involves the individuals that make up the group and addressing responsibilities and rules. The goal of this is to insure that there is overload, underload, or conflict present within each individual’s perception of his or her role. The second approach involves team building, focusing on identifying problems/opportunities, analyzing, planning, executing, and evaluating the results...

...Modern Wireless Signals Earl McCune RF Communications Consulting, 2383 Pruneridge Ave., Santa Clara, CA, 95050, USA Abstract — With the evolution of wireless systems and services, the on-air signals themselves are also undergoing very significant transformations. This paper provides a survey of the active and coming-soon signal types adopted for wireless systems around the world. Focus is on modulation schemes, along with various measures used to characterize the signals before and after power amplification. Cost-benefit tradeoff information is introduced to provide perspective on this signal evolution. I. INTRODUCTION As two-way wireless communication becomes ubiquitous from relative obscurity 20 years ago, the signals used have evolved from those which are very simple to now include very complicated and high order modulations. And with economics demanding that older systems are not taken down before newer ones are installed, many of these signals must exist and operate side by side. This demands that the actual radio hardware used in any network infrastructure, as well as that in the mobile, remote, or subscriber devices, must usually be much more general purpose than optimized specifically for one signal type. In the design and test of this radio hardware it is very important to understand the fundamental characteristics of the signal(s) that it must support. With such a wide variety of signals, even the metrics used in their characterization are not uniform in type and...

...The Entrepreneurial Leadership Abstract Entrepreneurship is defined as “the willingness to take risks”. (Kurtz, 2010 p.182). The people who make entrepreneurship happen are those who “seek a profitable opportunity and take the necessary risks to set up and operate a business” who are known as entrepreneurs. (Kurtz, 2010 p.182). In this assignment, we will analyze the different leadership styles of the well know entrepreneurs, Thomas Edison who was an American scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur, and Anita Roddick who is the founder of The Body Shop and encourages social responsibility in a number of facets. In addition, we are going to discuss the major business principles these entrepreneurs used to achieve their goals. Presently, entrepreneurship has become increasing encouraged because of the chance of job security and financially stability; enhance their quality of life, Entrepreneurship starts with a vision to change society, a culture, the world, or just a single person’s life, with a product or service and Anita Roddick had a vision to make a profitable business. Entrepreneurism is a curious thing. When one man has a dream, he goes out and converts that dream into a reality. For centuries, this has been the American way. There are several questions an entrepreneur has to ask himself, though; first, will I be making profit? No one wants to go into business to waste his time or money. Second, an entrepreneur must ask himself if he is being socially responsible...
