    Economists and world political leaders utilize a method of keeping track of their final goods, products and services done within a year called the Gross Domestic Product. It also defines the economic heartbeat of a country by the ebb and flow of how the country as a whole is producing goods products and services including imports and exports. The Real and Nominal Gross Domestic product values are the a more inflated and direct answer for knowing approximately what the value of the countries dollar value are based upon from a period of time and values without inflation being accounted for. The Unemployment rate is the amount of individuals to a country who are currently unemployed or without work who are engaged in searching for employment or values of work. The Definition of Inflation is the rate at which the general level of the prices for goods and services rising, and, subsequently, buying power is drops. This is seen most commonly with examples of buying a loaf of bread 10 years ago versus the present value for a loaf of bread. Interest rates are a value of an item in a percentage where principal is loaned from a lender to a borrower for the use of an asset usually measured in an annual percentage rate (APR) For an example, an individual borrows $100 Dollars from a financial institution at a rate of 10% APR, for every year borrowed $10 dollars would be added to the amount owed back.…

Product “X” is undeveloped and the status is undetermined, therefore, payments are not guaranteed through the future revenues of this particular product (ASC 470-10-25-1). Further, based on ASC 470-10-25-2, these factors do not apply in this case to qualify as a debt.…

    A positive international challenge that Nixon was involved in was seeking better relations with China. Early in his first term, Nixon and his adviser, Henry Kissinger, began sending subtle proposals hinting at warmer relations to the People’s Republic of China’s government. When both countries hinted at this, Kissinger flew on secret diplomatic missions to Beijing and in July 1971, the President announced that he would visit the PRC the following year. This confused most American’s at the time because they believed that all communists countries were evil. When Nixon flew to China in February and he met with Mao Zedong. Nixon’s visit included a vast shift in the Cold War balance, putting the U.S. and China against the Soviet Union. Several months later, Nixon traveled to the U.S.S.R. and met with Leonid Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders. The result this trip was the signing of the Antiballistic Missile Treaty of 1972. The treaty restricted the number of ICBMs each nation could manufacture…

    1. Net cash will be different from a company's net income because of the changes in working capital (inventories, receivables, etc.) which is derived in the operating flows on a cash flow statement. By taking net income and making adjustments to reflect the changes, net cash flow from operating section will show how cash was generated. Another main reason is the translation process from accrual accounting to cash accounting because for example revenue reported on a accrual basis may not have been collected but on the cash flow statement and changes in cash is accounted for.…

    It is always easier to criticize the past and not the present. To take a stance in the present would require courage and sacrifice. To state an opinion about the past simply requires vocal chords. What is the point of studying the past, then? It's simple: the past is one of the keys to a door with numerous locks. Studying the past is one of the things we can use to guide us in the future. Hence, one is undoubtedly entitled to their own opinion about the timing of America's entrance into WWII. The figurative "key" would then be channeling these ideas into beneficial guidance for decisions of the future. In my opinion, the United States waited much too long to declare war upon the Axis. It is feasible to also hypothesize that the scale of war could have been smaller, less lives might have been lost, and less damage might have been inflicted had the U.S. acted sooner. What was the greatest lesson, then? Simple – one (society, a nation, an individual) must always be aware of their surroundings.…

    The 1970s were perhaps the worst decade of most industrialized countries' economic performance since the Great Depression ,Although there was no severe economic depression as witnessed in the 1930s, economic growth rates were considerably lower than previous decades. As a result, the 1970s adversely distinguished itself from the prosperous postwar period between 1945 and 1973. The oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 added to the existing ailments and conjured high inflation throughout much of the world for the rest of the decade. U.S. manufacturing industries began to decline as a result, with the United States running its last trade surplus (as of 2009) in 1975. In contrast, Japan's economy continued to expand and prosper during the decade, boosted by growing exports.…
