Recent discussion of making restaurant available for this three groups of people, Tom Laskawy discussed in “ Hondson Choice” they should be able to, because this may be the only meal they receive a day and its admirable. On the other hand Michelle Goudine reports in food stamps should only be used for healthy foods and that the government should spend money on educated people on eating healthy rather than contributing to unhealthy eating. In A Hombson Choice, Tom Laskawy admits that making restaurant foods available for those who are unable, due to age, disability, or homelessness, reduces hunger seems necessary. Michelle Goudine thinks otherwise in “No Funds for Fast Foods”, they should only be able to buy healthy foods and the government should spend more time educating on how to eat nutritionally rather than subsidizing less healthy options, we should spend money educating all Americans in better nutritional choices and work on making healthy foods just as cheap as fast foods. The elderly, disabled and homeless should be able to use their food stamps to buy restaurant because, because healthy or not, this maybe the only way they are able to get anything to eat.…

    The range of costs included within a product costing system varies from one organisation to another. A comprehensive picture of product costs requires the inclusion of upstream and downstream costs. In practice many businesses confine their product costing systems to manufacturing costs. This is particularly true of small to medium-sized manufacturing businesses since more comprehensive costing systems cost more to implement and maintain. The costing systems that only include manufacturing costs produce the inventory valuations for external financial reporting required by…
