Sources Of Finance and Profit and Loss Accounts.
Sources Of Finance Internal Sources– These are sources of finance that come from the business’ assets or activities. Capital Ownership Capital In this context, 'owners' refers to those people/institutions who are shareholders. Sole traders and partnerships do not have shareholders - the individual or the partners are the owners of the business but do not hold shares. Shares are units of investment in a limited company, whether it be a public or private limited company. Shares are generally broken down into two categories: Non-Ownership Capital Whilst the following sources of finance are important, they are not classed as Ownership Capital - Debenture holders are not shareholders, nor are banks who lend money or creditors. Only shareholders are owners of the company. Retaining Profit Profit not distributed to stockholders: the part of after-tax profits of a business that is not distributed to stockholders. Selling Assets The business can finance new activities or pay-off debts by selling its assets such as property, fixtures, and fittings, machinery, vehicles etc. Deprecation This is a form of long term loan that can be taken out by a public limited company for a large sum and it will be paid back overall several years. It is usually borrowed from specialist financial institutions. Shares An important source of finance for limited companies. A share issue
Introduction to Tesco.
Case Study: Introduction to Tesco The name of the company that I am going to be studying is called Tesco. It has its headquarters in Chesunt, but has many stores around the country. These stores are in many cities including Manchester, Birmingham, and London. It has many types of stores and includes Tesco Extra (24 hour), Tesco Metro (located in town centres) and Tesco Express (attached to garages). It sells many things including food and non-food items. These items include: toys, food, drinks, toiletry, CDs, videos, DVDs, books, cosmetics, medicine, tobacco, alcohol, fruits, vegetables, electrical goods, clothes, organic food. In Newport there are stores based at Spytty and Maesglas. The type of ownership that my company has is public limited company. This means it is a large company with many employees. It has shares on the stock exchange and anyone over 18 can invest in a share. This will make anyone who has bought the share a part owner of the joint stock company. As Tesco is a joint stock company the shareholders want a good return on their capital and to receive a dividend each year. If the company went bankrupt then the owners would have to pay off all of their debts, this would even mean selling their houses and cars. The main objective of a business is to make a profit. If a business did not make a profit, it could not survive for long as it would be spending
Oak Brook Medical Systems.
Oak Brook Medical Systems Oak Brook Medical Systems is facing an issue concerning the role of a valuable and experienced employee who is having trouble moving up in the company. Jaqueline Harris has been working for Oak Brook for 12 years. A year and a half ago, she became director of strategic planning for the Hospital Supply Division. During this time, Jackie's strategic planning was widely credited for the development of a $40 million business. She has been highly successful in all her endeavors with the company and has a very impressive educational history, yet Jackie keeps getting overlooked for promotion. Jackie has been receiving some bad publicity from her coworkers and managers, yet she hardly knows anything about it being a problem. Jackie believes her managers can see value in having her in a management position, but she is becoming very unhappy the longer she continues to get ignored. The main problem here is a lack of communication throughout the organization. Management thinks Jackie lacks the communication skills to be promoted, but has never voiced these concerns to Jackie herself. In her mind, Jackie sees that she is well qualified for the job, but is being passed over based on racial or gender discrimination. While her assumptions are based mainly on the lack of communication, there seems to be a degree of discrimination involved in this case as well. From
ICT - information
Lauren Middleton Chapter 2 Questions . A) It is very important to have the date that the report was produced on it because having this information on the report would tell anyone using it when it was produced. Knowing when it was produced is very important because then you are able to see whether or not the information, which is on the report which you want to use is up to date or not. B i) Up to date information will be essential to the manager because, he has had the report done, to see how the business is going. If the information given to him about the business is not up to date, then it is likely he is reading information, which is now actually untrue because things have changed since that information had been collected. - An example of this would be, if the manager of a company wanted an annual report of how his company was doing, and he was given last years report, this would be no help to him because it was a year old, and he would think that no profits were made between this year and last. ii) The age of the data used in the report, to produce graphs is very important as well because if the data was from different dates and all mixed together to produce a graph. Then it is very likely that the graph is giving you false ideas or false information. All is needed is the information stating the dates at which each piece of information used was collected and
What does the Voices of Morebath tell us about the impact of religious change in the 16th Century?
What does the "Voices of Morebath" tell us about the impact of religious change in the 16th Century? In the Voices of Morebath Duffy explores the period 1530-1580 through the churchwardens accounts, minute books, journals and legacy of the remote Devon village of Morebath. The account is a rare source making it invaluable when studying the impact of religious reform as it is a first hand account. The book gives the reader a glimpse into the probable reaction of ordinary Devon citizens' attempts to confiscate church property. Duffy shows how the church property belonged to everyone in the parish having been purchased through generous contributions to the numerous well-supported parish guilds. The Voices of Morebath illustrates the extent of communal involvement in the small and precious rituals of the church year, drawing out enormous significance from the minutiae of tiny bequests and careful purchases. In 1529 one female parishioner leaves her silver wedding ring which is melted down to make a little silver shoe for the figure of St. Sidwell, the local saint. Five years later, a thief breaks in and takes the silver shoe, along with a chalice, and the sense of outrage is immediate. And when the young people of the parish club together and voluntarily produce the money for a new chalice, Duffy is in no doubt that the priest's entry in the accounts concerning their effort must
Sociology - Cultural Factors in Educational Attainment
Outline and asses cultural explanation of Social class difference in educational achievement. Class differences in educational attainment have often been seen as a result of differences in class cultures. For example, a number of studies have argued that the values, attitudes and aspirations of parents have an important effect on their young people’s education. If these values and attitudes vary between social classes then this may account, at least in part, for class differences in educational attainment. Many sociologists support for what has become known as the Cultural deprivation theory. Cultural deprivation theory assumes that the culture of low income groups are inferior and this accounts for the low educational attainment of members of these groups and low groups have ‘substandard’ attitudes and values toward education. Hyman (1967), a functional sociologist, argues that the values of the working classes prevent them from performing well in education and being upwardly socially mobile. He indentified a number of differences between the cultures of the middle classes and the working classes. Firstly, he indentifies that the working class place a lower value on education, secondly, he indentifies that the working class place a lower value on achieving high occupational status and lastly he indentifies that the working classes believe there is little
Analytical Exposition - Strictly Ballroom
English Analytical Exposition - Strictly Ballroom By Caitlin Donohue In the film Strictly Ballroom, Baz Luhrmann has re-worked a play from his drama college days into a romantic musical comedy with a satirical twist and a fairytale ending. The tale, a classic love story, parodies the Australian ballroom dancing scene to develop the message "A life lived in fear is a life half lived". Luhrmann uses the "red curtain" cinematic form to elicit a response from his audience. The film is set in the highly theatrical, almost fantasy world of competition dancing and portrays an individual (Scott) overcoming the conformity of a large hierarchical organisation (Australian Dance Federation) by allowing creativity to triumph over convention. It follows the structure of a fairytale where the ugly-duckling outsider (Fran) wins through with courage and grace. The audience is left in no doubt that they are participating in a film through Luhrmann's use of the production elements of sound, light, costume, choreography and camera work. This essay will demonstrate how the film supports the value of individualism through character construction and camera work. Strictly Ballroom focuses on characters, beginning by satirizing dancers whose lives are dominated by the strict regulations of the Federation. Luhrmann uses mock interviews cut into the dancing scenes to introduce the main characters,
Find out the amount how deflection is affected by the force applied to a cantilever.
Aim: - The aim of this experiment is to find out the amount of deflection is affected by the force applied to a cantilever Apparatus: - To carry out this experiment we will need the following apparatus - Masses (In different proportions) A measuring apparatus (Ruler) 1 metre stick (wooden) G-Clamp Method: - We shall place the wooden 1m stick across the table. We shall then leave most of it sticking out, and then attach it to the table using the g-clamp. Measure the current height the meter stick is at in its resting position (0mm). To measure the deflection of the ruler I will add a 100g weight then record the height of the stick by using the ruler on the side, I will continue this until I have used 600g on the meter stick. Research: - I researched the internet and books to help me: a) Improve the experiments reliability and accuracy. b) Help determine a prediction. I used the books: ? Encarta Encyclopaedia ? Physics for you These two books helped me understand Hooke's law of compression and expansion. While the preliminary work help me to determine a prediction. Preliminary Work Results: - Force Applied (N) & Results (mm) 2 3 38 37 40 2 70 72 69 Safety: - We will have to be safe that the meter stick does not snap especially the in case shards fly out so will be taking minor precautions and shall not be adding ludicrous amounts of weight onto the

These students are from different regions which might show a differentiation in height and weight. Height is affected by mostly 3 factors which are genes, nutrition and age. Since this data is collected from students of 15, 16 and 17, it might not be a perfect analysis. However weight is mostly affected by nutrition and exercise. OBSERVATION Here we observe that most people who are tall weigh more than people who are not tall because as people get taller (grow), their body expands causing more weight to be put and so even their stomach grows so they need to eat more causing the person to weigh more. However if a person exercises, they lose weight. CONCLUSION Tall people usually weigh more than shorter people if not influenced by
Key discoveries about the atomJoseph J. Thomson - kd 1897 to 1899
Key discoveries about the atom Joseph J. Thomson - kd 1897 to 1899 Joseph J. Thomson was an English physicist who discovered the electron. Under normal conditions a gas is a poor conductor of electricity. However, if the gas in a glass container is at a reduced pressure, and a voltage is applied across two electrodes inside the container, a discharge occurs and the gas becomes conducting. Streams of bright lines are observed to come from the cathode, the negative electrode; they are known as cathode rays. From the time of their discovery by the German physicist Plücker in 1858 there was much controversy over the nature of the cathode rays. Most of the German physicists thought they were some form of radiation, whereas the majority of British physicists thought they were streams of negatively charged particles. In 1897 Thomson carried out a series of experiments which demonstrated conclusively that the second view is correct. A key observation made by Thomson was that the cathode rays are deflected by an electric field. Hertz had previously tried and failed to observe such a deflection, which gave support to the view that the cathode rays are not electric particles. Thomson realised that the reason for Hertz's failure was that the gas in his container was not at a sufficiently low pressure. Consequently, positive and negative ions in the gas neutralised the electric field
