Answer:
Accounting history dates back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Babylon. For example, during the Roman Empire the government had detailed records of their finances. However, modern accounting as a profession has only been around since the early 19th century. The earliest accounting records were found over 7,000 years ago among the ruins of Ancient Mesopotamia. At the time, people relied on accounting to keep a record of crop and herd growth.
Explanation:
Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.
- They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
- They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
- They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
- They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
- They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
- They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.
Answer:
704076 $
Explanation:
Exact statement of the question is:
<em>May 3, 2007, Leven Corp. negotiated a short-term loan of $685,000. The loan is due October 1, 2007, and carries a 6.86% interest rate. Use ordinary interest to calculate the interest. What is the total amount Leven would pay on the maturity date? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)</em>
Solution:
Fro 3rd May to October 1st. 2017 there are 151 days
But 365 days = 1 year
==> 151 days = 151× 1/365 =0.414 years
But we use 1 year as one term
==> 1year = 1T
==> T = 0.414
R= 6.86
P= 685000
A=?
We use formula for the term:
A= P
Where A= ammount at the end of term
P= Loan amount
R= Rate of interest
T= No. of terms
Putting values in this formula;
==> A= 685000×
==> A= 685000 × 1.02784938489=704076 $
Answer:
It is not efficiently using all of its resources.
Explanation:
PPC is the graphical representation of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
- Points on PPC reflect the best potential production of economy, by best efficient utilisation of available resources & technology.
- Any point under PPC reflects production under best potential of economy, by inefficient utilisation of resources.
- Points beyond PPC are unattainable, unless growth in either resources/ technology shifts the PPC curve outwards.
Answer:
A conglomerate is a business combination merging more than three businesses that make unrelated products.
Explanation:
A conglomerate is a group of companies with different activities. This business concept spread to Europe from the United States after World War II. The benefits were considered to increase the company's long-term profitability by spreading risk to various business areas.
However, conglomeration often led to an increase in administrative costs. Furthermore, the conglomerate's management rarely had the competence to handle a number of companies in different industries. The conglomerates that were listed on the stock exchange were regularly valued lower than the total market value of the subsidiaries, indicating that the stock market did not believe in the very idea of creating such corporate groups. The risk diversification that the conglomerate was aiming for could equally well be achieved by the individual investor in his own equity portfolio. Therefore, since the 1970s, many conglomerates have split up, and most companies have instead focused on creating competitive advantages through their core business.
