...BAO3309 Individual Research Assignment 2015 1. The measurement concepts in relation to historical cost and fair value accounting. IASB framework defines that measurement is the process to determine the monetary amount of the financial statements’ elements are to be recognized and carried on the balance sheet and income statements ( IASB Framework 2010). 1.1 Historical cost Historical cost is an accounting method about the original nominal monetary value of an economic item at the time of transaction (IFRS). Under this method, assets and liabilities listed on the balance sheet with the value at their purchase or acquisition, rather than the current market value. According to the historical cost principle, most assets or liabilities are recorded at historical cost on the balance sheet even if there is a significantly change in the value over a period. Hence the balance sheet value of the items may differ from the real value and this value is never adjusted by the changing of market and economy. For example, 10units of one item were purchased for $10 each. The price of this item today is $11 per unit. Therefore the inventory should appear on the balance sheet at $100 and not at $110. 1.2 Fair Value According to IFRS13, fair value is regarded as a scientifically true measurement concept. To be more specific, fair value is a market-based measurement; it is not an entity specific measurement. In other words, fair value is the price that the company will be received...

PPE will offer exceptional services to children from ages 2-16. The mission of the Party Planner is to provide customers with the highest level of party planning. We exist to attract and maintain customers. When we adhere to this maxim, everything else will fall into place. Our services will exceed the expectations of our customers. The corporate market for event planning is steady and profitable, but in the Houston area there just aren’t many that provide quality services. For some large companies, economic downturns means cuts. This is only the case for shortsighted companies however. The benchmark companies may trim down the work force during a downturn, but they do not cut funds. They recognize that investments in human resources are always a good investment. PPE intends to profit nicely from this intelligent business strategy. In short, the need for party planning/ hosting...

...companies listed above with the firms listed in the exhibit. 1. Commonwealth Edison as stated generates and sells electricity of businesses and households. I would link this company with the second balance sheet and I have several clues that support this: first the level of inventories is very low, 2.0 % of total assets, which is usual for a company with this type of operations. Second, the level of PPE is very high, 74, 3 % of total assets, which includes all the heavily equipment used to generate and distribute electricity. The long term debt is high, 47, 7 % of total assets, which can be explained with the huge long term investments that need to be done in this industry. 2. Hewlett-Packard or HP can be linked with the fifth balance sheet and I base this conclusion on several clues. First it has a level of inventory, 23, and 6 % of total assets, which can be linked with this type of company. This number could be even higher because manufacturing companies have material inventory, work in process inventory and finish goods inventory but as stated HP outsources many of its components. A second clue is the PPE, a relatively high number which represents...

Abstract The subject of electrical hazards analysis has been recognized by a small segment of the electrical industry for many years. The petrochemical industry and many government institutions have performed research on this subject for over twenty years. For the most part however, the electrical industry, at least at the user level, has largely ignored the subject, essentially reacting to catastrophic accidents, rather than proactively trying to predict and prevent them. Recent changes in consensus standards, along with a better general understanding of the seriousness of electrical hazards have resulted in a renewal of interest in the subject. As the awareness of electrical hazards increase many are puzzled by phrases like; “Limited”, “Restricted”, and “Prohibited Approach...

...Fire fighter personnel protective equipment has evolved greatly over a short period of time. The advancement of personnel protective equipment has greatly improved the effectiveness of firefighting. It has helped ensure the safety of firefighters and made interior attacks possible. The evolution of PPE has also caused problems for firefighters. With this advance equipment firefighters feel safer and in turn go deeper and deeper into fires, taking unnecessary risks. The invention of SCBA has greatly changed the fire service. Before the SCBA was invented interior operations at a fire were virtually impossible. SCBA has become a necessary tool in firefighting. It enables firefighters to breath clean air in an otherwise contaminated environment. The SCBA has been improved since its invention. The SCBA harness has been fitted with a PASS device that detects movement and will signal other firefighters if no movement is detected. The SCBA is an essential tool that helps enable firefighters to find other fallen firefighters and allows successful interior attacks. Another improvement on the SCBA is the bottle. The first SCBA units used a steel bottle that was heavy and normally held enough air for thirty minutes. The common bottle now is constructed of carbon fiber which is a lot lighter than the steel bottle. Now bottles are being used that hold more air; this enables firefighters to work longer without having to leave the fire to get another bottle. These improvements on the already...
