    ...Financial instrument is defined by IAS 32 ‘any contract that gives rise to financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.’ (IAS 32: 11) Financial instruments consist of financial assets, financial liability and equity instruments. Example of equity instruments are ordinary shares. Examples of a financial liability are debentures, loan from another entity and trade payables. One way of distinguishing equity from liability is with preference shares. Irredeemable preference shares are equity because they are never repaid and redeemable preference shares are a financial liability because they are paid back like a loan. To distinguish correctly between equity and liability, firstly if there is a contractual obligation on an entity to deliver cash or a financial asset, this will result in a financial liability. If this is not the case it will result in an equity instrument of another entity. An example of distinguishing equity and liability is for example an entity issues fixed number of shares to another entity, it will be classified as an equity instrument. However if the number of shares will vary depending on share price, in other words not fixed this will be classified as financial liability. Depending on which entity takes the risk will depend if it’s an equity or liability instrument. If another entity takes the risk it will be classified as equity instrument,...

  • Essay about Gas Prices

    ...Fluctuating Gas Prices Kyle Bonzelaar Davenport University Gas prices have been on a rapid rise the last few years and not many people are happy with it. It limits those on a budget for how much they can do and how much they are willing to drive. Lately, gas prices have been fluctuating in price and going up but are more recently going back down, which gives people a little more flexibility at times in their schedule. It lets people do things such as travel and more, that they were not able to do last summer when gas prices were right around as well as over $4.00 a gallon, which made people cut back on those unimportant things. Supply and demand plays two major factors that have an impact on what we might see gas prices at. Ash says, “Gas prices are expected to continue to drop leading to Election Day and continue to fall through the end of the year (Richardson, 2012).” According to Clifford Krauss, oil experts have been talking about how since Israel and Gaza are not oil-producing areas, that we should not see oil prices spike up and cause us to pay more for a gallon of gas (Krauss, 2012). As gas prices have been steadily increasing, it has had a negative effect on the consumers that use it daily.

    ...Substantive Procedures for Asset Irregularities Student Name ACC 556 September 17, 2012 Instructor Name Introduction The following will outline the procedures and steps necessary to detect irregularities that can occur in the accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets of Apollo Shoes. The flowcharts will show how the use of internal controls is integral to the overall success of the organization. In the accounts receivable, the sales and billing processes are an area that would require attention. With the inventory representing a large portion of the assets at Apollo Shoes, special attention should be spent on the internal controls in that area. However, there also has to be emphasis on the fixed assets, such as vehicles, land, buildings, and the machinery required in the overall business operation. The sections that follow will provide a summary of the processes that are required to detect irregularities in those areas. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable fraud typically begins with errors within the billing process and can be examined by taking a sample of customer accounts receivable records and reviewing the original sales information to the customer balances.

Given theirits importance, pricing havehas not attracted much academic research interest compared with other tools of marketing (Stottinger, 2001). Nevertheless, this should not be and cannot be a barrier for the quality of this essay. Albaum and Duerr (2008) no havehave not given a clear message regarding the level of difficulty about practice of establishing an international price. However, for a large influx of authors export price differs from domestic price, and due to thatthis the environment is sui generis in each country (Jain, 1989).It is the writer´s opinion that an overview of the challenge gives the impression that it is somewhat more difficult than in...
