Accounting Talk » Accounting Audit » Ebay – How to figure out component cost ?
Why concern youself? You have $100 invested in that entity. However much you get for EVERYTHING from that puter is your profit (or loss).
Not quite. Everything you get is your revenue. Everything you get minus the $100 is your profit or loss. The reason for concern is because the same problem arises in any situation when you buy a group of things with different values. If you buy 50 widgets for $10 and they’re all going to sell for the same price, then they each cost you 20
Accounting Talk » Financial Accounting » A question to the accountants of the world
Strategetic center A question to the accountants of the world Is this a sound logic? The double entry system depends on matching expenses to revenues in extracting results . The details of that principle depend on aggregates of sums based on intangible or tangible units multiplied by their prices then result value. Any project has a certain objective which is to measure its ability to make profits by matching spent expenses to realized revenues. These expenses and revenues are aggregated together after aggregating their sums of money . For example if the project realized revenues from selling orange they would be listed in the revenue side but in case of purchasing apples cost would be listed in the expenses side and then matching realized revenues by the amount of increase in the income realized from selling orange than the amount of cost of purchasing apples. In the double entry system matching is based on sums which their specifications has disappeared but if we transferred these sums to units you will find units that realized revenues are not mentioned in expenses and you will see the accounting mess that accountants consider as gross profit in the trading account from which they extract the gross profit to post it to the profits and losses account . In addition to that in the double entry system purchases of all kinds whether made profits or not if transferred to their units they would be listed in the purchases side while commodities sold are listed in the sales side and matching both sides results in the gross profit. While theory of units gives real gross profit , and the gross profit is extracted from each commodity and the total of the gross profits of these commodities represents the gross profit of the organization as a whole. Gross profit resulted from the theory of units is real and reflects the practical reality besides, the way to get it is detailed. Gross profit extracted from the theory of units is different from the one extracted from the double entry system. In addition to that in the double entry system it is not possible to get the details of the gross profit contents extracted from the trading account . Profit extracted from the double entry system is delusive and does not depend on logical or arithmetical bases . It is inable to prove the validity of its contents although we depend on it to distribute the organization profits and to measure the income of the society . The real profit is only made from each unit by itself i.e. the unit movement whether it is incoming or outgoing from the organization. If its selling value increased more than its purchasing value profit will be made and the gross profit of the organization is the gross profit of all these profitable units but if we matched revenues to expenses we will get unreliable profit that is not consistent with all the authentic arithmetical logical and accounting rules .In the double entry system if we find that cost is not related to revenues during the accounting period even if it is a delusive relation we consider cost connected with the financial year in which cost is achieved. A question may arise : Is this consistent with the practical reality? I leave the answer to readers and researchers …

You can only use the labels that stamps.com sells.
This is not true. You can print directly to several sizes of envelope (depending on your printer), or for packages you can print to several sizes of Avery envelopes that are available at Staples, Office Depot, etc. If you want to print to labels to stick onto envelopes, then you need to purchase labels with the flourescent pink strip on them. Those, currently, are available only from stamps.com. Even after extensive use of my stamps.com account, I have yet to need them. As far as using one label from a sheet and being able to use the others later…not a problem. The stamps.com software enables you to specify which label on the sheet you wish to print to. Hope this helps…. dm
Wrong, you may use any avery labels that are supported by the software. However, postal regulations say that if you do use a stick on label on an envelope you must use the flourecent labels (according to stamps.com) however, for anything else, there is a huge list of avery labels supported. Also Robert, by changing the address, and by removing the bar code, you are slowing down your mailings.

Let me clarify. You aren’t allowed to print a stamp to Clarence in Ohio, and then put it on an envelope addressed to Joe in Texas. They say the destination is somehow encoded in the indicum… I don’t know if this is true but maybe. Using a different looking label is fine, as long as the address is the same. Get it?

One other point about all of these alleged rules for printing postage. If you ever had a postage meter, there are no restrictions whatsoever on how you address your mailing. They just like it dated for the day it is mailed. But I never had a problem if I got to the post office late. They just put a postmark over it. One of the nice things about the postage meter, which you can’t do with stamps.com, was to send a sase, you just had to adjust the dater not to print. A standard function. But if you forgot, I never had a return envelope refused or held because the postage meter stamp date was a week or two old. — Robert The mark of genius is not perfection but originality.

You are right. I was thinking of the labels provided for the label printers. They come in 2 part, address and stamp, or 3 part, address and stamp and return address. Each part has to be separately removed from the backing and applied to the envelope. I told stamps.com what I intended to do and invited them to pull the license if they choose. Haven’t heard a peep from them since. — Robert The mark of genius is not perfection but originality.

Well Joe, I just read it. I read it three times. Nowhere in the three associated documents, (1) "Dear: USPS POSTAGE METER USER" (I guess my computer is a virtual postage meter); (2) "Postage Meter License"; (3)"CMLS License #xxxxxxxxxxx Update"; is the phrase "postal fraud" used. It also shows that my mailing and physical addresses are in different cities. The one that they chose to assign the license number is not the one that I deposit mail in. I can see the charges adding up here. Probably get a good vacation in one of those federal spas. Try not to read too much into the "official notices". Like most government junk mail, they are designed for a mass audience and so generally inapplicable to a lot of situations. Let’s see, I think I steamed an unused stamp from an envelope and cemented it onto another envelope once. That should be good for a couple more weeks vacation. BTW, I visited one of those federal places in Lexington, KY once to interview a woman in jail for prostitution and scheduled for release within the following 60 days. I was quite impressed with the co-ed facilities. — Robert The mark of genius is not perfection but originality.

Sorry for the confusion here. What I have and am looking to do are the following: I have an HP LJ6. I ship cards in bubble mailers. This would require me to print the postage on labels. If there are mutliple labels per sheet (and I would assume there are), do I have a situation where when I print the postage, I am in a use it or lose it situation with the actual labels? Once again, if there are 20 labels per sheet and I only need to print 12, are the other 8 labels basically wasted due to the fact that sheets of labels don’t work well after the first pass thru a laser jet? And…. do I need to use the pink flourescent labels with bubble mailers? Sorry for the rambling… I’m not a very concise and to the point person

hmm ure usin’ a label printer. u may be right about labels then. I use an hp laserjet 5l… (used to use a 4L) to print labels, and they come out great. Also envelopes work beautifully.

In other words, I might have 12 packages to ship and would only need 12 labels, but I don’t want to waste the other 8 that are on the sheet. The majority of my mailings are always the same postage price and mailed within the US, so weight and destination are not an issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Mike Tedeschi

You can specify where to start printing the labels. The majority of my mailings are always the same postage price and mailed within the US, so weight and destination are not an issue.
Are you going to mail these to the same address? Also these must be mailed on the day they are printed. But, you can postdate these. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Mike Tedeschi
By doing this you are committing *Postal Fraud* When using stamps.com you must use the address and postage part at the same time. You can use most any label to print postage but you must use the special fluorescent ones for envelopes i.e. #10. RADi —

Does anyone have any experience with getting lie angles adjusted on woods? I play 2 degrees upright on my irons, but couldn’t get my Warbirds adjusted as they have no hosel.

If your driver had zero degrees of loft, changing the lie angle (by raising or lowering your hands) would have no effect on the angle of the clubs face. In contrast, a 60 degree lob wedge, when slightly too upright or too flat will produce substantiallly unfortunate results. Lower lofted clubs are less of a problem with lie than are higher lofted clubs. Are they not a problem at all? No, but every one of your swings will vary from the previous one, accounting for a far greater dispersion problem than a lie problem on a 10 to 20 degree club. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Does anyone have any experience with getting lie angles adjusted on woods?

Can anyone tell me how easy it would be for a UK accountant with experience in practice and industry with a double doctorate have in securing a decent appointment in the US in the private sector commerce. Cheers Dr. N.J. Wilson
30 May, 1999 Dear All, I hope you can find time to visit http://business.fortunecity.com/discount/29/index.htm and have a good look round I know it’s a bit of an advert; but there’s two free handouts for you if you’re interested in an intro to gearing (leverage) and the beginnings of a cracking handout on depreciation (seriously, it’s a good one for Europe and the USA). I’ll happily send anyone the full depreciation handout once they’ve visited the site and let me know what they think. If you know someone looking for a college in the Uk for their A levels … let them know we’re upa dn running. Thanks for your time. Duncan williamson
Can anyone tell me how easy it would be for a UK accountant with experience in practice and industry with a double doctorate have in securing a decent appointment in the US in the private sector commerce.
A lot would depend on the source of ones doctorates. Here in the US (where I have been writing books on degrees, and consulting with the FBI as a diploma mill expert for many years), there is growing concern about fraudulent schools, especially, of late, those run from Great Britain, where a charlatan named "Dr." Bruce Copen has flooded the US market with worthless degrees from his three fake "universities" — Brantridge, Sussex College of Technology, and the University of the Science of Man. As an example of how serious this can be, a British citizen who was actually a high-ranking state official in the U.S. state of Colorado, not only lost his job, but had his visa canceled and was deported, because of his use of a Copen doctorate. Now, with regard to legitimate doctorates (the sort I hope and trust Dr. Wilson has), the big problem now is that of "green cards," or permission to work in the US. Basically, as I understand it, the rule is that one must possess a skill not common or not readily available among American citizens. Fortunately, in a time of very low unemployment (which is what we have in the US), this is easier to do, but a strong case must still be made. Typically, this is done by an employer, on behalf of an employee he or she wishes to bring to the US. Absent a current employer, the best bet, by far, is to make use of your alma mater’s "old boy" network. This is still the way the best jobs are secured. One needs to be active in the alumni association. (I got a wonderful job, once, through some inside information provided by a dean at my own doctoral school, Michigan State University). I am happy to answer questions about schools and degrees, either publicly or privately, and there is more information on such matters (and me) at http://www.degree.net John Bear, Ph.D. (Michigan State U, 1966) The Share what you know.

Accounting Talk » Accounting Software » More Competant Accounting Software Needed
In my opinion, you should avoid MAS90 and State of the Art… I use the DOS version and it isn’t very flexible for inventory use, especially if you need to use one part number internally and one for the customer on invoices. I’ve heard the Window version is a little more flexible, but we can’t afford to upgrade to it… State of the Art price gouges and wants 60-75% of our DOS purchase price to upgrade each module… It would be just as cheap to switch to a different software program than it would be to upgrade. They are also dropping the DOS version so we’ll be left hanging with no future upgrades and no direct support. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have a client who generates 1200+ invoices a month and has 3000 to 4000 inventory items.

Macola will do what your client needs, but it’s not cheap. It will handle the volume load and has great flexibility in inventory handling. For instance, you can buy bulk and sell individually. I’m biased since I’m a reseller. Dana

Accounting Talk » Tax Accounting » PEACH-LINK…PT 6.0
After many years of recommending, supporting and using Peachtree Accounting, from Dos to Windows versions, I find myself betrayed by the PT support department. Everything was fine for all of these years due to the fact that I managed and understood the program, including DDE, without any support from PT. After recommending to my employer to upgrade to 6.0, only for the reason of obtaining the PeachLink module, the PT support told me to "return the software if I don’t like it since I have the 60 day free trial". All because I wanted to use the module without Harbinger Internet account or set-up. There is no advertising or any prior notification from Peachtree stating that you can not use the module unless you subscribe to Harbinger.
Yes, I too fell into this a couple of years ago. This is, by far, the worse thing PT has ever done. They have a deal Harbinger. Harbinger is not even a good ISP. I check with a couple of programmer friends of mine and w/a couple of local ISP’s. Found that to convert their program would cost $$$$. Which is not that good of a program. What it is, that software is looking for their ISP. On any other ISP, it would collapse. However, the good news is, I and others like me are working on a database format to do the same thing and the user would be allowed to use the ISP of their choice. You may want to search the net, their maybe applications already designed. That’s why I am not in a hurry to get one developed. Please don’t hold that against PT6. I am also told that Harbinger is planning to release a version that didn’t require their ISP. Please help with this issue. I need to know the "scheme" of the file PeachLink is reading from the Internet, file which is placed in the "Order InBox" subdirectory.

Accounting Talk » Business Accounting » Fightback begins vs California Prop. 209
Fuck the fighting back, it’s about time California put those multiculturalists in their place. I hope the other 49 states learn a lesson and implement it also. America is one society, where all acheievement should be based on personal merit, not race or gender. That is defined as racism. It should not be allowed, ever.
**Fightback begins vs California Prop. 209** (Reprinted from the November 16, 1996 issue of the People’s Weekly World. May be reprinted or reposted with PWW credit. For subscription information see below) By Marilyn Bechtel OAKLAND, CA – Following passage of anti-affirmative action Prop. 209 in last week’s election, civil rights, labor and community organizations are challenging the measure in court. At the same time, cities where 209 was defeated are vowing to keep their affirmative action programs. The day after the election, a statewide coalition of civil rights, labor, education and business organizations and individuals mounted a powerful legal challenge in U.S. District Court to block implementation of the measure. ACLU chapters in Southern and Northern California, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and the Employment Law Center were joined by the California Labor Federation, California NAACP, the NOW Legal Defense & Education Fund, the Asian Pacific-American Legal Center and other organizations and individuals. The suit charges that 209 violates the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause because minorities and women are barred from seeking protective race- or gender-conscious legislation while other groups are free to seek preferential treatment, Eva Paterson, executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, told the World. She said the suit also states that 209 violates federal civil rights laws. Paterson said formation of "a wonderful broad coalition" – multiracial, multinational, men and women, young and old, to fight the measure before and after Election Day shows that "the racial wedge did not work." In Los Angeles County, 209 was defeated by a 55 to 45 percent margin. The Los Angeles City Council strongly opposed the initiative from the beginning. In the after math of the election, council members said they would not change any of the city’s affirmative action programs and that the city would have to be sued to mandate enforcement. "Clearly the vote in Los Angeles County, and in the city itself which was 60 percent against 209, shows the tremendous amount of organizing here has paid off," said Joselito Laudencia, Southern California Director, Californians for Justice. Laudencia said the Metropolitan Alliance, which spearheaded area grassroots anti-209 work, united different communities that had not previously worked together in a struggle that "sparked a new civil rights movement in California." San Francisco County voters rejected Prop. 209 by a whopping 71 to 29 percent. Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Marin Counties also rejected the measure by substantial margins, while in Santa Clara County the vote was still too close to call. In San Jose, where voters turned down Prop. 209 by a 51 to 49 percent margin, City Attorney Joan Gallo told the City Council last week that the city’s affirmative action plan "does not provide preferences but has been designed to encourage outreach and to demonstrate that there has been no discrimination." Based on the Third District Court of Appeals’ statement last summer that Prop. 209 does not bar outreach programs, Gallo proposed modifying the present program. The new proposal would involve setting a percentage of women and minority subcontractors likely to be part of a bid package in the absence of discrimination or preference, based on the number of such firms in the area. Contractors failing to hire the specified percentage would have to show they had neither discriminated nor given impermissable preferences. Gallo told the World she believes minority and women contractors will be hired because they give good service and are competitive. Banning preferences "cuts into the tendency to contract with people you know," she said. "We believe we should be opening doors." The council, which strongly opposes 209, was expected to consider Gallo’s proposal later this month. Meanwhile, hundreds of University of California students marched and demonstrated to protest 209’s passage and the UC president’s statement that campus chancellors should implement the measure immediately. The University of California Student Association said demonstrations would continue, leading to statewide walkouts the week of Dec. 6. In Washington, following calls for action by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and women’s movement leader Eleanor Smeal, the Clinton administration said at the end of last week it was considering either filing its own lawsuit or joining the suit already filed. Jackson called 209 "a classic state’s rights act challenging federal authority." He praised President Clinton for opposing the measure during his campaign, but emphasized that more than talk is needed now. Prop. 209’s backers paid millions of dollars for its passage. Another example of huge spending by the ultra-right was the campaign which overwhelmingly defeated labor- and community-backed Prop. 211 to protect retirement savings from fraud. Corporations headed by accounting, insurance and Silicon Valley firms and the New York Stock Exchange gave nearly $40 million to sink it. ##30## **** 235 W. 23rd St. NYC 10011 *** * ** **** * $20/yr – $1-2 mos trial sub * **** * Tired of the same old system: Join the Communist Party, USA http://www.hartford-hwp.com/cp-usa
