In any discussions or negotiations about fees, it will be assumed that a student and his/her other funder have made themselves aware of the provisions of this section and of the equivalent fees schedule. While the University attempts to keep fees as low as possible, student fees usually increase annually by approximately 10% per annum. Ignorance of the fees payable does not provide grounds for avoiding liability for any fees due and payable. Alteration of fees The University Council reserves the right to alter all fees payable to the University, or to impose a fees surcharge if circumstances require it. In the case of an alteration of fees or the imposition of a fees surcharge, notice will be sent to all registered students. Nonreceipt of such a notice does not provide grounds for avoiding liability for the contents of the notice. Arrears Any student whose fees are not paid by the due dates or who has...

...The Anonymous Caller: Recognizing It’s a Fraud and Evaluating What to Do The ethic case study was about an anonymous caller who is the controller of a privately-held, small, start-up company. The company was experiencing a severe cash shortage and was required to present the quarterly financial statements to the local bank, in order to begin receiving funds for the line of credit again. She had concerns that the senior executives of the company provided the local bank with misstated financial statements. The caller was later informed that the accounts payable clerk was instructed to record sales transaction generated by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company. As a result, the sales and receivables accounts were overstated in the financial statements. Before returning to work Monday morning, the caller decided to contact her former accounting professor, Dr. Mitchell seeking advice on how she could possibly handle the situation. After listening to the anonymous caller’s situation, if I were Dr. Mitchell, I would first advise the caller to conduct a meeting with the senior executives of the company, in order to explain her concerns in reference to the submission of quarterly financial statements to the bank that overstated the sales and receivables account. Also, I would advise the caller to reiterate the consequences to the senior executives during their meeting, warning them of what could happen if their illegal procedures were noticed; such as pay a large fine or...

...Studying the Great Moderation Randi Pittman MBA6008 – Section 101 Unit 6 – Assignment 1 02/15/2013 There are many things which could affect economic volatility. In fact, I recently read a case study which described this situation. The case study was entitled “The Great Moderation, Dead or Alive?” or “The Great Moderation,” for short. This case study was written by Diego Comin and was published by the Harvard Business School (Comin, 2011). The author begins by giving us a background on the situation that he analyzed. The case in question has often been referred to as the Great Moderation. After thoroughly describing this time period, Comin then provides us with some rationalizations for this occurrence (Comin, 2011). Next, the topics of the variance of stocks and reduced amplification were covered (Comin, 2011). There were also other possible causes of changes in volatility discussed; such as globalization, inventory management, policy, demographics, and technological diffusion (Comin, 2011). Well put together, the case study is an excellent example of how one can analyze an economic situation. To begin, let’s take a look at what happened during the time period known as the great moderation. During this time period, which began in the 80’s, there was a reduction in the volatility of output (Comin, 2011). Exactly what does this mean? In terms of economics, volatility can be defined as “a measure of risk based on the standard deviation of the asset return” (Volatility...

...History indicates that these actions may be caused by a sense of religious justification, economic factors, or aspirations for strengthening of an empire. However there can be more reasons than those of a political or religious nature. In many ways personal bias, environmental and psychological factors play heavily into some of the worst atrocities ever envisioned by mankind. This is the case argued in Christopher R. Browning’s book Ordinary Men. Christopher Browning’s book focuses on a key part of World War II that took place behind the scenes of the war, The Holocaust. The Holocaust led to the systematic death of millions of people. These innocent people were only guilty of being labeled as “undesirable” by a supposedly “superior race.” These people consisted of not only Jewish people, who were the majority, but also gypsies, homosexuals, people with mental retardation and physical ailments, Polish people, Slavic people, communists, and Jehovah witnesses. Though the Holocaust is well known today, he primarily focuses on what could cause a group of seemingly ‘ordinary men’ from the Police Battalion 101 to transform into mass murderers. He uses the evidence of the 1960 war trials, thoroughly...

...Technology, Mauritius La Tour Koenig, Pointe – aux – Sables, Mauritius kpadachi@utm.intnet.mu ABSTRACT The competitive nature of the business environment requires firms to adjust their strategies and adopt good financial policies to survive and sustain growth. Most firms have an important amount of cash invested in current assets, as well as substantial amounts of current liabilities as a source of financing. This paper therefore analyses the working capital structure and financing pattern of small to medium-sized Mauritian manufacturing firms, using primarily secondary data. Structural differences in working capital and the financing pattern of the sample firms are analysed and the results showed significant structural changes over the study period. The research finding revealed disproportionate increase in current asset investment in relation to sales resulting in sharp decline in working capital turnover. The analysis also revealed an increasing trend in the short-term component of working capital financing; in particular trade credit and other payables have financed the major part of working capital. This over-concentration on short-term funds is a reality of the SMEs as they often faced difficulties in raising finance and they are viewed to be informationally opaque. Using multivariate analysis, the determinant of working capital financing is investigated and the results confirmed the dominance of short-term financing, proxy as a proportion of current liabilities over total...

Any businessperson is expected to understand those terms. Second, managers rely on accounting to understand an organization’s economic condition at a point in time and its economic performance over a period of time. As a result, they use accounting information to communicate with others. Managerial Perspective on Financial Accounting will help you understand publicly available financial statements for publicly traded companies and financial statements prepared for internal use. It is also an introduction to financial statement analysis and valuation methods. The basic financial accounting methodology...

Prepare a statement showing the incremental cash flows for this project over an 8-year period. -Initial investment: The initial investment (I) is the sum of the investment in plant and equipment.

...Rachael Burgess ID# 0281953 Eng. 101-F2 Short Essay Obesity in America: Balko vs Zinczenko Obesity is a growing problem in the US. There are many ways to go around trying and fixing it. Whiter they’re right or wrong is the question. How they go about it is another thing entirely. David Zinczenko and Radley Balko are from opposing sides on this issue. Zinczenko takes the sides of those who chose to blame the fast food companies. While Balko states that everyone should have personal responsibility. Which, I agree with. Out of the two of them, Balko is the one I have sided with. In his essay DZ states “Before 1994, only about 5 percent of childhood cases were obesity-related, or Type 2 diabetes. In 2002, "according to the National Institutes of Health, Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 30 percent of all new childhood cases of diabetes in this country"(Zinczenko) This number has grown according to most health studies. Though, Zinczenko states this fact firmly. He does not provide a strong connection to this and obesity in children. Though he is trying to prove a good point there is not enough information to back it up. If he had the proper facts his argument would have been better. DZ had concluded that "Fast-food companies are marketing to children a product with proven health hazards and no warning labels. They would do well to protect themselves, and their customers, by providing the nutrition information people need to make informed choices about their products"...
