11 When Turmoil Occurs Egypt Protestors 2 days ago. What happens when a country is disruptive? What is the influence on the country’s economy? DISRUPTIONS IN COUNTRIES ARE PROBLEMATIC It is not good for tourism, business, economy, foreign affairs, the country itself, global work, and much more.

12 Business Plan Time for you to define your desired company you want to own or work for. You will need to define the following areas of your company. Company Name Mission: What it wants to achieve Vision: How will it keep investors/stakeholders What it will do? (sell services/goods)

13 DEEPER LOOK HERE WE GO! LETS JUMP TO THE OTHER NOTES… Good ethics! Key to accounting, successful job, and a good business GAAP: professional guidelines for accountants (generally accepted accounting principles) Entity: stands as a separate economic unit Ex: David the owner of Yum brands…both separate entities, David is not liable for the company, because it is its own entity, it is held liable for itself.

14 Deeper Look Continued Reliability Principle Keeping records. A receipt shows the actual price. Cost Principle Assets and services should be recorded at their actual historical price If a building is bought for 50,000 Kuai, then that is its historical price Going-concern concept: Assumes that the entity will remain in operation long enough to use existing assets. Building, supplies, items, products, etc.

15 Deeper Look Continued Stable-monetary-unit concept: Accountants assume that the dollar purchasing power is stable…that the Yuan is stable, safe and will not go up or down Inflation: A rise in the general price level Accountants ignore inflation in most cases so each dollar is the same, equal purchasing power

16 Accounting Equation What is the accounting equation? What does it mean? Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
