However, when we reviewed the last five years (2009-2013) and analyzed the company financial statements; We found that MAADEN had the ability to cover its short-term obligations between 2009 with current (6.54) till (1.09) in 2013, the number has decreased by years either due company started to use its liquidity into investments... Etc. Or -most likely- the company increased its loans and dept. When "MAADEN" surprised us with their recordings of net-loss of(12.82) in 2010, we could justified it by several reasons, including lower production and higher costs and less investments. I think that the most important reasons directed this net loss were: investments with (154.49) and expenses (304.39) that was a high number comparing with operating profit (89.66). Low liquidity of 2013 with gross profit (27%) and operating profit (12%) affecting the dept or short-term loans investments that increased...

...Becoming a Master Student Craig Harper GEN/200 June 13,2012 JOY LAGUNZAD KOUNS Becoming a Master Student I have read two very interesting books on becoming a Master student the 1st book would be, becoming a Master student 13th edition by (Dave Ellis). This book went into details as far as making the transitions. The author of this book also talked about taking steps to which will help you become a master student. The steps in which Dave Ellis was talking about, would be time, memory, reading, note taking, taking tests, critical thinking, communicating, diversity, money and then health. The 2nd reading is from Teaching in a Higher Education Vol. 15, No 1, February 2010, 1–13. (Wendy Jane McMillan). The reading drawls on self regulated learning. How students learn, contexts and methodology, understanding learning, cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies, motivation. My understandings of both readings will be the preparations, of your studies; highlighting and underlining your readings and notes; Time management as far as your readings and taking time to understand your studies, and using your critical thinking skills along with communicating your thoughts. I feel that (Wendy McMillan) was a little bias with her article discussing dental students, and am self regulated learning; and the motivations of dental students. Even though I fill the concepts are the same as far as all students are concerned. You can use both philosophies to become a better student time management...

School is where kids are being taught the “history” of how America came to be a diverse country. Through the course Culture Power and School Knowledge, one can see that the “history” being taught through the Master Narrative is one-sided.

...Accounting The Master Budget for a profit oriented organization seeks to build a set of interrelated budgets which provide a complete "picture" of the operations of the business over some future period, usually twelve months. The elements of the master budget address both operating and financial concerns. (Blocher, 2002) It is not difficult to devise a master or overall budget. It is simply your realistic, long-term aspirations translated into total costs. So often, families consider only the cost for the item, when the item in question comes with accompanying repair or installation costs. For example, an air conditioner may require electrical, plumbing and installation expense. (www.debtfreebenefits.com) Those "other" costs should be considered in establishing the financial impact on the family budget. Sometimes the incidental costs may be as great at the time as the major purchase itself. Good planning or budgeting usually avoids these mistakes. (www.debtfreebenefits.com) After the long term objectives are established, each objectives must be put into annual terms. There are many questions to answer: When can you buy it, how much will it cost, do you pay it all now or can you spread the total costs over more than one year? (www.debtfreebenefits.com) A master budget is simply the compilation of these major considerations put on the same page (s) so that the total picture for a lifetime, year, month, week or day can be properly reviewed...

Ataur Rahman (ECO455.1) | Gazi Musayab Raffan ( 0910486520)&Mohsin Ul Amin Khan (0910894520) | Abstract The purpose of this research was to find out whether undergraduate performance and program of students reflect the motivation for continuing further education into Post-Graduate level. The research is based on questionnaire survey of fifty Undergraduate students from five different Universities in Dhaka. The questionnaire had 13 questions that were used to find out about the programs and CGPA of the participants as well as their plans for opting for Master’s level education. Since the survey was based on students currently pursuing their Bachelor’s we tried to know as much as possible about their plans for further education. In this regard we have assumed that the students who have planned out their further education in details have greater possibility of actually enrolling for Master’s level education. So we set the questions in such a way so as to reflect well the mental preparation as well other factors for planning ahead. Upon analyzing the data a correlation between the hypothesized constructs have been found in general. Though some questions had given us mixed results, taken as a whole the research does find a relationship between undergraduate performance and program and the continuation of further education.
