CL 4. CA other than cash (selling some inventory for cash) 5. fixed assets (selling some property). * Activities that decrease cash (opposite of above) * Operating Cycle – the period between the acquisition of inventory and the collection of cash from receivables. 1. Inventory period – the time it takes to acquire and sell inventory. 2. Accounts receivable period – The time between sale of inventory and collection of receivables. (Operating cycle = Inventory Period + Accounts Receivable Period) * The operating cycle describes how a product moves through the CA accounts moving closer to cash. * Accounts Payable Period – The time btwn receipt of inventory & payment for it. *Cash Cycle – The time btwn cash disbursement and cash collection. The Cash Cycle is the number of days that pass before we collect the cash from a sale, measured from when we actually pay for the inventory.

...Jella Mae Macalima November 24, 2014 BSTM-2B Ms.Ana Esquierdo “9 RULES OF FREEDOM OF THE AIR” The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airlines the privilege to enter and land in another country's airspace, formulated as a result of disagreements over the extent of aviation liberalisation in the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, known as the Chicago Convention. The United States had called for a standardized set of separate air rights to be negotiated between states, but most other countries were concerned that the size of the U.S. airlines would dominate air travel if there were not strict rules. The freedoms of the air are the fundamental building blocks of the international commercial aviation route network. The use of the terms "freedom" and "right" confer entitlement to operate international air services only within the scope of the multilateral and bilateral treaties (air services agreements) that allow them. The first two freedoms concern the passage of commercial aircraft through foreign airspace and airports, the other freedoms are about carrying people, mail and cargo internationally. The first through fifth freedoms are officially enumerated by international treaties, especially...

...Finance and Financial Management Finance and financial management encompass numerous business and governmental activities. In the most basic sense, the term finance can be used to describe the activities of a firm attempting to raise capital through the sale of stocks, bonds, or other promissory notes. Similarly, public finance is a term used to describe government capital-raising activities through the issuance of bonds or the imposition of taxes. Financial management can be defined as those business activities undertaken with the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth, utilizing the principles of the time value of money, leverage, diversification, and an investment's expected rate of return versus its risk. Within the discipline of finance, there are three basic components. First, there are financial instruments. These instruments—stocks and bonds—are recorded evidence of obligations on which exchanges of resources are founded. Effective investment management of these financial instruments is a vital part of any organization's financing activities. Second, there are financial markets, which are the mechanisms used to trade the financial instruments. Finally, there are banking and financial institutions, which facilitate the transfer of resources among those buying and selling the financial instruments. In today's business environment, corporate finance addresses issues relating to individual firms. Specifically, the field of corporate finance seeks to determine...

...production and marketing activities, in such a way that it can generate the sufficient returns on invested capital, with an intention to maximise the wealth of the owners. The financial manager plays the crucial role in the modern enterprise by supporting investment decision, financing decision, and also the profit distribution decision. He/she also helps the firm in balancing cash inflows and cash outflows, and in turn to maintain the liquidity position of the firm. How does the modern financial manager differ from the traditional financial manager? Does the modern financial manager's role differ for the large diversified firm and the small to medium size firm? The traditional financial manager was generally involved in the regular finance activities, e.g., banking operations, record keeping, management of the cash flow on a regular basis, and informing the funds requirements to the top management, etc. But, the role of financial manager has been enhanced in the today's environment; he/she takes an active role in financing, investment, distribution of profits, and liquidity decisions. In addition, he/she is also involved in the custody and safeguarding of financial and physical assets, efficient allocation of funds, etc. The role of financial manager in case of diversified firm is more complicated in comparison with a small and medium size firm. A diversified firm has several products and divisions and varied financial needs. The conflicting interests of divisional...

...INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW: Today India is on a threshold of massive development, thanks to the various initiatives taken by the Govt. of India over the last 10 years or as we call it the Dawn of the era of liberalization. The economics policies have been liberalized time and again to accelerate the process of industrial growth. The government is making constant efforts to encourage the entrepreneurs by providing the climate conducive for development and growth. as a result of which various projects are coming up and due to which various applications are being received by state and national financial institutions for financial assistance. Project finance is thus becoming a field of specialization in itself. There is an ever increasing thrust on the capital formation and this capital formation is done in any economy through massive infrastructure projects like setting up a new industry , launching of the green field projects to name a few. Apart form this the Govt. of India has identified certain core factors through which it can make a quantum leap in the area of foreign exports namely the IT sector and the Pharma sector. And due to the competitive advantage that India has because of its labour force, which ids highly skilled and at the same time available very cheap, the Pharma Industry in India is set for growth. But at the same time Pharma industry is a different type of industry altogether and it has own set technical requirement and also its own capital...

...Response to the Finance Questions Name University Response to the Finance Questions Response to Question 1 Liquidity premium theory states that the yield obtained from the bonds that are long term are greater than the return that is expected from short-term bonds that roll over so as to compensate long-term bonds investors for bearing the risks of interest rate. Bonds that have different maturity can, therefore, have different yields regardless of the possibility of future short rates being equivalent to the present short rate. This results in a yield curve that bends upwards even if the short rates are expected to fall if liquidity premiums are sufficiently high. However if the curve slopes downwards and an assumption is made that the liquidity premiums is positive, then we can presume that future short rates would be lower than the present short rate (Lim & Ogaki, 2013). Liquidity premium theory agrees with expectations theory since it gives the same significance to the expected future spot rates though it puts more weight on the impacts of the risk preferences that exist in the market. The main concept of this theory is to compensate an investor for the additional risk of having his capital tied up for a more extended period. It, therefore, aims at enticing investors to engage in long-term investments. Due to the uncertainty associated with long-term rates which have less marketability and greater price variability, investors, therefore, need to be given higher...

...able to see the visible fruits that are the yield of good stewardship and decisions. The book of Proverbs was a series of exhortations and encouragements written by King Solomon to his son. In chapter 23 verse 23, Solomon states, “Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.” For thousands of years, mankind has been given stewardship of resources; natural, human, intellectual and financial. The process of managing these resources, specifically financial resources, requires intentional short-term and long-term planning. More importantly, in order for capital management to be deemed successful, it is required that all members of an organization are on board. “Capital budgeting is not only important to people in finance or accounting, it is essential to people throughout the business organization”< /span> (Block, Hirt, & Danielsen, 2011). As the duration of the investment period increases, and the size of investment increases, the residual risk also increases. For a firm to effectively manage its resources it begins with the administrative considerations, ranges to the ranking of the capital investments, the strategy of selection processes and various other financial planning details and concerns. Once again, we find in Proverbs 24:3-4, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all...

...8. Moral hazard occurs when individuals tend to be very risky when there are protections if a loss occurs. This is more likely in indirect finance. For example, when an individual purchase a new car, they insure it and their policy dictates that if an individual accidentally hits their vehicle, they are obligated to a new vehicle. So after a few years and that individual gets tired of their vehicle and is desperately in need of a new one, they would intentionally drive a bit reckless to allow someone to hit their vehicle. Lemons problem can be both indirect and direct finance. It occurs when one party to a transaction do not have the same degree of information. The party with less information take a risk hoping that the “lemon” is a good buy. For example, in the used car industry, the seller has all the information about the car and may limit the actual reason as to why they are selling the car, the problems the car has etc. intermediaries in the financial market can reduce lemon problems by reducing the attractiveness of direct finance by offering more incencitives to individuals when acquiring finances, offer provision for information, enforce laws on information given ensuring individuals receives sufficient information. Financial intermediaries have expertise in assessing the risk of the applicant for funds that reduces adverse selection and moral hazard. They have easy access to various databases that provide information on both individuals and businesses, and they...

...Finances Cassandra Peavey HSM/240 UOP Finances The majority of the funding for the National Coalition for the Homeless comes from the support of the public, foundations, and different organizations (national homeless.org). Many funders are churches and faith based organizations who seek out the mission to end homelessness. The NCH is a nonprofit organization and has been ranked a Four-Star Charity by Charity Navigator in 2009. Due to the NCH being a national foundation, there are many different resources and organizations that will continue to fund this program. With all of the churches and local businesses within areas of where homeless exist, there will always be charities that will be put forth to help the homeless find homes and jobs, and in other cases, medical services. In my home town there is a place called “The Mission”, which is a shelter for homeless men to go until they can get on their feet and make it on their own. The local churches support this house and pay for all utilities and provide food for all who live here. The reliability of funding for this organization is pretty good considering the organization has been funded for the past thirty four years. Since this is a nonprofit organization the funding for this organization is all charity based. Individuals who work for this organization do it to help others. All finances go towards ending homelessness which involves food, shelter, and offering counsel to those who are experiencing homelessness...
