.... of fuel consumption thus nullifying high pump prices and b) raise the level of conservation by lowering the amount consumed. Although the intentions of Corporate Average Fuel Economy in the 1970's was thought to be a cure-all but, over the long run it has turned out to be a flop. The variables on which it was based, turned out to be almost exactly opposite. Lower Gas Prices have a) caused the public to simply use more fuel, b) drive more frequently due to less fuel consumption and c) look beyond fuel economy when in the market for a new vehicle.

.... choose from and, it is very probbable that they will choose the cheaper and brand new products. So, if national producers don´t do anything in order to improve thier products, then they will be in danger of going to bankruptcy. As a result of this, the national products have to seek, as I said before, for cheaper costs and better products. When this occurrs, then national products are ready (or at least have more possibilities) to compete in international markets. Supposedly, now they should have a better quality, they should be cheaper and so, they are ready to be exported. When products are sold at international markets, then .....

.... to assist them to assess the financial performance of the entity over the reporting period' (SAC 2 Paragraph. 29). Further 'the financial position of the reporting entity involved disclosure of information about its control over resources, financial structure, capacity for adaptation and solvency'. Finally the information presented must satisfy the qualitative characteristics. However the conceptual framework does not resolve the issue of whether the information is to be measured on a historical cost basis or a market value cost. Many people have attacked the use of historical cost in conventional accounting. The peopl .....

.... activity, the reason why is it affects their marriage and the care of their only child. An observation of labour force participation rates in Canada show that female rates rose a lot between 1971 and 1981, while the male rate rose unnoticeably. The increase in the female participation rate was found in all age groups except in older women. For women aged 15 to 19 the rate was as almost as high as the men. But the largest increase was in the age group of 25-44 years old, where the rate rose almost 50 percent. This meant that the participation rates of the females had become more alike with the men.

So many merchants with not enough money would borrow money from rich people and then buy cargo space on a ship. In most cases the merchant went on the ship to get the goods to sell. Then on returning, the merchant would sell the goods, and then pay off the lender, with a 22.5 percent interest rate. In many cases, problems occurred, sometimes a merchant returned late, could not pay all of the money back, or something or other. Therefore the idea of a collateral was invented. Also, courts w .....

.... simple math skills:by adding up the prices of its companies shares,dividing that by thirty. But the stock market can sometimes be to hectic for basic math. The most frequent reason for this is a stock split. Suppose a company in the DJIA issues one new share for each share outstanding. After this two- for-one "split," each share of stock is worth half what it was immediately before, other things being equal. But without an adjustment in the divisor, this split would produce a distortion in the industrial average. Here is an example: Imagine three stocks selling at $5, $10 and $15. Their average price is $10. Now assume the $15 stoc .....

.... employment of its citizens. This system also provides equal health care to all, no matter what one’s profession. Marxism recognizes the importance of every life as a part of the work force and provides measures to keep all its citizens healthy. Probably the best component of Marxism is that the economic systems would only do what it saw as best for the society as a whole.

Fearing a prolonged slowdown or even a recession in the economy, and with inflationary expectations waning, Chairman Greenspan and the Federal Reserve cut rates again in December. (Greenspan, 1996, Speech) There are, of course, critics of 1995's monetary policy. Most of the criticism came in the early part of 1995 when the Fed raised rates again. In the article "Are We Losing Altitude Too Fast" from the May 1, 1995 issue of Time magazine written by John Greenwald, he explains that the economy might not be co .....

.... a person with relevant contributions to the world of management. Frederick Taylor is affectionately referred to as the “Father of Scientific Management.” The modern systems of manufacturing and management would not be the examples of efficiency that they are today, without the work of Taylor. Frederick Taylor was instrumental in bringing industry out of the dark ages by beginning to revolutionize the way work was approached. Taylor was able to increase wages, productivity and reduce per piece costs at the same time. Taylor's work was eventually adopted in a wide array of applications. Taylor's ideas had a .....
