What is the best way to handle family who make political statements on Facebook?

May 6, 2010 - 10:36 am 5 Comments

My cousin recently commented on Facebook that Sarah Palin is an idiot. I find this statement rude, as well as factually inaccurate. Whether you agree or not, I am just asking for advice about what to do when your family makes political statements on Facebook that you strongly disagree with? Do you ignore them or try to respond in a nice way? I usually ignore them, but sometimes I feel like it is wrong not to address them–especially when they are slanderous, mean, or untrue.

In and of itself, there’s nothing wrong with making political statements on Facebook.

Why don’t YOUR use YOUR Facebook page and post YOUR political opinions?

I would simply de-friend such a person.

Can voluntary statements be admissible is court after miranda rights are read?

March 31, 2010 - 1:02 pm 2 Comments

After your miranda rights are read and the officer proceeds to question and you answer, can those statements be admissible in court or must the officer stop asking questions once a lawyer is requested?
I meant *in court, not is court!

"You have the right to remain silent, if you give up this right everything you say can and will be held against you………" That means if you continue talking, you can be held for anything you say. If you have your rights read to you, you should say : " I have nothing to say until I talk to a lawyer.

What is the problem with the following statements?

March 25, 2010 - 8:08 am 10 Comments

It is said that the following statements are wrong. Why these statements are wrong? What is the problem with the following statements?

People/things can be divided because they have divisibility.
People/things can be compared because they have comparability.
People/things can be connected because they have connectivity.
People/things can be disturbed because they have disturbability.
People/things can be reordered because they have reorderability.
People/things can be substituted because they have substitutability.
People/things can be satisfied because they have satisfiability.

i think the word "because" may be the problem. if people/things can be divided then they have divisibility by definition. so the word divisibility states that one can be divided but does not explain why it can be divided. it is like trying to define a word by using the same word.

Edit: the answer above me beat me to it and used more sophisticated language lol.

How can stop being intimidated by my financial statements?

March 19, 2010 - 11:18 am 1 Comment

I am always afraid to open my financial statements because I don’t understand them. I get overwhelmed trying to make sense out of them. I am also fearful that I will find I lost money.
How can I become educated and knowledgeable in reading my financial statements?

The same way everyone else does it: by educating yourself. It doesn’t take a PhD in Economics or Finance. Start with some basic books like "Personal Finance For Dummies" and "Investing For Dummies."

When bookkeeping expenses, is it acceptable to use bank statements in place of missing receipts?

January 23, 2010 - 9:49 am 1 Comment

I’m doing my company accounts for 2009 and seem to have a few missing receipts for certain expenses, so I was wondering if I could use bank statements instead?

The bank statement will tell you how much the amount was, but it won’t tell you what it was for. If you have the cancelled check, it will tell you who was paid and you could probably surmise what the expense was for, but an actual receipt or invoice is preferable.

How do the 3 accounting financial statements tie together and connect?

January 12, 2010 - 4:25 am 1 Comment

How do the 3 accounting financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cashflow statement) tie together and connect?

(1) Income statement: shows the "retained earnings" of the company for a particular period.
(2) Balance sheet: shows the cumulative "retained earnings" of the company since inception.
(3) Cash flow: shows the net cash of the company for a particular period.

Think of (2) as the cumulative of all of the (1)s put together.

Think of (3) as follows: At any point in time, the company owes some people cash and other people owe the company cash. When all of the cash obligations are eventually settled, that means the cash flow should equal (1).

How do uncollectible accounts affect income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows?

December 9, 2009 - 4:26 pm 1 Comment

When you write off doubtful accounts, how does it affect your income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows?
This is just a general question. The assignment gave numbers and such, but the information was so limited. I really like your answer. I’m still confused on why it is that way though.

Answer:

When using the allowance method:
No effect on income statement
No effect on balance sheet
No effect on statement of cash flows

When using the direct - write off method:
Income statement: Expenses will increase (net income will decrease)
Balance sheet: Total assets will decrease
No effect on statement of cash flows

How far to exceed the word limit on the personal statements in UC (california) applications?

December 4, 2009 - 3:50 pm 3 Comments

I am applying to the UC system right now, doing my personal statements. They say that both personal statements should be 1,000 words together (cumulatively), they say also however that a little over, 1012 words for example (this is their literal example), is fine. I just finished and I have 1038 words, will that be ok? Or should i try to restructure the essays and lower it?

You can probably get a way with 1,025 words or less. Use contractions to shorten your personal statement.

Good luck!
