Revenue
How a firm plans to earn a profit is one of the most important considerations in the business plan. Profit is defined as total revenue less total expenses (Investopedia, 2013) and there are basically three levels of profit. The first level is the gross profit, which subtracts only the cost of sales; the second is the operating profit which subtracts fixed costs as well. The final profit is the net profit, which subtracts all costs of doing business, including taxes and financing costs like interest.

There are going to be two forms of payment for the customers. They can either pay cash or with a credit card, but cash will be encouraged because the credit card company is going to charge to use a card, cutting into our margins. Checks and other forms of payment will not be allowed. The reason for this is that we want to reduce the…

Revenue ix
Tax revenue is a fundamental component to governmental budgets and subsequent spending. Particularly, in economic downturns, government tends to spend large sums of money in an effort to stimulate the economy and drive economic growth. To properly prepare and mitigate the cyclical nature of tax revenues, diversification is required. Through proper diversification, governments are better positioned to provide adequate service irrespective of the prevailing macroeconomic circumstances. Although aspects such as interest rates, political grid-lock, and unemployment impact all governments; through a diversified revenue stream, the impact of such occurrences will be significantly diminished. As such, a thorough tax revenue analysis is needed to prepare the city of Swobodaville for the cyclical nature of the business cycle, and the subsequent volatility in tax revenue (Williams, 2008).
When analyzing the cities overall tax composition, a larger share of tax revenue comes from personal income as oppose to corporate income. The date indicates…

Appalachian Trail Conservancy exist not to make money but to fulfill one of the purposes recognized by federal law; charitable, educational and scientific requirements. Under state and federal tax laws, however, as long as the corporation is organized and operated for a recognized nonprofit purpose and has secured the proper tax exemptions, it can take in more money than it spends to conduct its activities. Based on this, revenue is the society's way of paying for the services provided by Appalachian Trail Conservancy. A revenue structure describes the many sources of income a local government receives. The major sources of revenue include taxes, other revenue sources and inter-governmental transfers, which are defined below.

evenue Sharing
Tax revenue sharing: A solution to the inequities in school funding?
Tax revenue sharing is one of the most popular yet controversial potential solutions to the problem of inequitable funding of school districts. In the debate over fairness in education, the fact that property taxes are usually the primary method of school funding frequently leaves poorer districts with substantially less revenue than their wealthier counterparts. evenue sharing is based upon the idea in which "each community in a region designates some percentage of a new tax stream or new tax base to a regional pool, where it is divided among all the towns in the pool based on some formula that may involve population or other variables" (egion agenda, 2009, The Hartford Courant). evenue sharing is designed to equalize revenue between local governments that have differing capabilities of raising revenue, and thus create better opportunities for residents.
This method of financing…

How to Protect Revenue Streams
The purpose of this research analysis was to discover tools healthcare organizations and practitioners can use to increase revenue streams while facing the rising costs of healthcare and an increasingly aged population relying on Medicare and Medicaid for healthcare coverage. Traditionally Medicare and Medicaid offer very little in the way of comprehensive medical services. This has inspired with healthcare community however to come to the realization that hierarchical care within healthcare facilities is no longer a viable means of providing care to patients in need. Cutbacks can be made but often they will result in substandard care for those that need care the most.
The researcher conducting this review proposes healthcare facilities adopt a horizontal approach to healthcare. Such an approach would as inferred by the literature, enable hospitals to work with communities, volunteers and junior level providers to provide comprehensive preventive and minimally invasive care for…

M&a activity can be conducted in order to lower a firm's cost of capital. This can be done either by lowering the firm's total risk through diversification, by absorbing a company in a lower-risk business than the new parent company, or by using the M&a activity as an opportunity for arbitrage, taking advantage of disequilibrium between currencies and interest rates in two different nations.
Corporate organization and ownership issues can stimulate merger & acquisition activity as well. In some cases, the activity is a reorganization within the company, conducted for strategic reasons and often tied to tax consequences. In other cases, firms may combine assets in a manner that allows for one or both of the firms to improve its strategic position in specific products or markets.

This holds true even when the price variance is calculated; the reduction in volume of the number of flu patients seeking treatment actually means that the reduction in revenue from these services impacted the medical group slightly less than it would have at the expected volume, and the slight increase in revenue-per-flu shot was compounded by the three-fold increase in expectations in the number of flu shots administered. For flu shots, this price variance was six thousand, and for the treatment of flu patients this variance comes in at fourteen thousand (technically, negative fourteen thousand, as the group would have made this much more had they been able to collect the full eighty dollars expected from every flu patient treated). These figures show that the price changes alone, had they not been accompanied by significant volume changes, would have led to a situation of reduced profitability when compared to expectations,…

limiting factor in determining the size of a budget in the public sector is the capacity to tax or generate revenue. To compute fiscal capacity, a representative tax system should assess the level of personal income, the value of retail sales, and the value of property. However, there are other areas that governments should focus on when striving to ensure and maintain revenue generation. Diversifying a revenue portfolio is paramount, especially when the economy takes a downturn.

American Tax Payer Act
The present taxation system for the United States is a progressive tax on income of individuals, businesses, trusts and estates. While the first Federal income tax was opposed during the Civil War and then again in the 1980s to pay off war debt and reconstruction, it was not until the 16 the Amendement in 1913 that placed a Federal tax as Constituional law. The basic outline of the Federal tax is quite simple -- gross income less exclusions and exemptions and standard deductions equals taxable amount. The taxable amount is based on family size, and varies based on filing status. The complexity arises, however, in the manner in which deductions are interpreted, tax law changes to allow certain items to be deducted, and then changes that law (e.g. credit card interest), or ways in which complex tax structures are legally able to "hide" or "defer" income from…

evenue Estimates: Underestimation of evenues
Although the United States has an excellent budget policy, she is yet to reach maximum efficiency with regard to revenue estimation. When it comes to public budgeting, ours is a picture that is far from the ideal. There has been a consistent pattern of underestimation of revenues in federal, state, local, as well as agency budgets. This trend may not be desirable for a recovering economy since government decisions on new policy initiatives and sustainable policy settings depend significantly on these annual revenue forecasts. This text hypothesizes that the current methodology, resourcing, and governance of forecasting activity has, year after year, played a role in the inaccurate estimation of revenues. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and several security agencies in Florida will be utilized in an attempt to demonstrate just how prevalent an issue this is proving to be in public budgeting.

The Case of Luxury Vibes Bed & Breakfast1. What are your two to three pricing objectives for the new product?Pricing objectives are the goals that guide a producer in determining the selling price of their product or service (Dransfield, 2005). According to Dransfield (2005), pricing objectives often reflect the companys strategic, financial, and marketing goals, as well as customer expectations. Each pricing objective attracts a specific pricing strategy. With the background information provided about Luxury Vibes Bed and Breakfast, the managers could focus on realizing three objectives. The two objectives to be realized in the short run, the first year of operation, are: a) to build or gain market share, and b) to survive by at least breaking even. In the long-run, when the establishment has built a sizeable market share, the pricing objective will be to maximize profits.To realize the objective of gaining market share, Luxury Vibes will use…

General sales tax makes up 9.8% of Maryland’s income, which ranks it 3rd among the six states looked at but nearly 2 percentage points below the U.S. national average. At roughly 10 percent of the state’s revenue, the general sales tax is an important revenue source for the state.
Among the six states examined, New Jersey takes in the most from general sales tax, with 13.5% of its revenues coming from this stream.
Pennsylvania is second with 10.6%. And Maryland just behind it.
West Virginia is fourth with 7.9% and Virginia is fifth with 6.6%
Delaware has no sales tax so it brings in now revenue from this source.

Economics
Total revenue represents all the company income. Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the price of products with the quantity sold. Typically, total revenue is calculated as follows:
Total revenue = price x quantity
Where price (P) and quantity (Q).
Total revenue=PxQ
As being revealed in Table 1, total revenue is calculated by multiplying price with quantity, when firm produces 2 quantities of goods, firm's total revenue is $10, however, when a firm produces 3 quantities of goods, its total revenue is $15.
Marginal revenue is an additional revenue that a firm generates when a firm sells additional unit of output. The marginal revenue plays an important role in the perfectly competitive firm where a perfectly competitive firm maximizes its profit when marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The formula used to calculate marginal revenue is:
Marginal revenue= Change in total revenue/Change quantity.
The average revenue is calculated by dividing the total revenue by the quantity…

Expensing of Stock Options
Expensing of stock options is a far more complicated issue. The Federal Accounting Standards oard (FAS) strongly recommends expensing of options and is trying to make it a legal requirement (Rash, 2004).
The pros of expensing options include providing a level playing field so that companies that use cash bonuses and companies that use stock options each have an expense on the income statement (McPeak). and, some believe it will improve corporate governance by reducing the incentives to inflate income and earnings per share.
However, there are many significant challenges for a company that expenses options (McPeak). Many companies have issued options to multiple levels of employees to attract high quality employees and to motivate them. If companies expense options at the time they are granted, it will be difficult to continue to grant options to as many employees. Some feel that there is already a level field between…

The trends that seem to be occurring are that Tech Mall is seeing slower levels of growth. This is taking place with less merchants signing up for the service (which is resulting in lower revenues for this segment). Evidence of this can be seen by looking at the below table which is showing the total number of merchants in comparison with revenues from the setup fee. (Swain, 2012)

2. The partner's share of gain that would be taken into account if the securities held by the partnership immediately after the transaction were sold.

pricing strategies that Universal Studio can adopt in order to maximize its revenues. First of all, its pricing strategies need to be judged in comparison with its main competitors on the market, Disney. One can argue that the two big studios compete for virtually the same potential consumers and on a market that is, more or less, an oligopoly. As a consequence, the first strategy that can be mentioned is that of the price leadership. Universal has been in a competition with Disney about which entity would have the highest entry fee. Both started at $82, moved to $85 and, subsequently, Disney increased to $88 and Universal to $89. Disney immediately adjusted the price to $89 as well.
The idea of price leadership is that this maximizes your revenue without taking away from your customers. If the two prices (Universal vs. Disney) are similar, the price sensitivity is low, and,…

Alternatives for the Public Administrator
Therefore, all public administrators need to understand how to adjust to these different challenges in the future. This means that they must know how to do more with less. One possible way that this could be accomplished is by outsourcing certain city services to private corporations. If they could offer to do the same job for less money, this could help public managers to adjust to changes that are taking place from these sharp cuts. At the same time, the government could also form strategic alliances with nonprofit organizations and charities. In this case, they could see if some of the funds for delivering different services would help to support these organizations. At which point, the two could…

An oft repeated maxim in American history states sardonically that "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except for death and taxes" (Franklin, 1840), and under the modern statutes of federal tax code that observation has never been more prescient. With taxes imposed by local, state and federal governments throughout the entirety of our natural lives, Americans living in 2012 may be facing the most extensive excises ever levied by one nation on its citizenry. Considering the dreaded annual income tax, the sales taxes added to the cost of consumer goods, and property taxes attached to home valuations, the average person is compelled to contribute thousands of dollars annually to support the revenue shortages of a mismanaged federal government. Even the choice to gift a sum of money to your child, spouse or lifelong friend, perhaps…

Q1. Describe the reasons why earned income is so important for the survival of today\'s nonprofits. Give examples of opportunities that exist for developing these new revenue streams.
Nonprofits today are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer resources in the form of time and money. Many are also finding that donations are less profitable than in the past, as potential donors are inundated with new requests, thanks to the ubiquity of social media. Earned income is one potential way to bridge the gap. Perhaps the classic example of a nonprofit which makes use of earned income revenue is that of the Girl Scouts, whose famous cookies have functioned as both a positive marketing campaign as well as an important support for the organization’s activities (Lapowsky 2017). Many people become aware of the good that the Scouts do precisely because of the Scouts’ unique product.

Companies can inflate their state of financial health by acquiring subsidiary companies, but this does not point to a pattern of future long-standing steady profit-making. For example, during the 2010 quarter, Wipro Technologies and the major banking operation Citibank signed an agreement for Wipro to take over the ownership and management of Citibank's data center in Meerbusch Germany (Press release, 2010, Wipro, p.2-3).
Questions remain if Wipro can afford to grow at such a pace while still providing a quality product. Wipro has "signed a multi-year transformation deal with Magyar Telekom (MT)," and a "multi-year deal with one of the largest oil and gas companies to provide managed services across the global functions application landscape" (Press release, 2010, Wipro, p.3). Wipro even has plans to expand to Korea, and there is a question as to whether such rapid international expansion at such an early juncture of the company's history is…

bonds or General Obligation Bonds are when an issuer, city, or state issues a bond that is guaranteeing repayment of said bonds by any means necessary, meaning the issuer will use any level of taxation power at its disposal to assure the money is paid back (O'Hara & Wesalo Temel, 2012, p. 42). Along with this idea, the full taxing power, faith, and credit of the issuer are used to back the bonds. So the revenues from each kind of tax like sales taxes, gas, property, and corporate taxes will be used to guarantee bonds. Hence the name general obligation bond because the issuer is generally obliged.
When an issuer has a problem with paying someone back, they must "through any means necessary" gain the funds to pay back the money. This means as mentioned before, raising taxes or other avenues or raising capital. Those that issue GO bonds are…

Today airlines use the Fleet Assignment Model which assigns aircraft types to an airline timetable in order to generate maximum profits. This is similar to what Continental Airlines practiced and is based on the principles of maximizing profits by calculating marginal revenue and marginal cost. The Fleet Assignment Models have increased profit margins which are constraint to factors such as that each flight in the schedule has to be assigned a particular type of aircraft. The assignment is such that the number of aircrafts cannot exceed the number available in the fleet.
Profit Maximization through the comparison of cost and revenue is now being widely practiced due to its effectiveness in fulfilling the desired goal. Firms and businesses tend to keep records of the cost and revenues in order to study the comparison of the two. The Inland Press Association has been keeping data regarding cost and…

Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California wants to implement a new revenue management system, maximizing revenue per customer, per visit and improving overall revenue. There are several tactics that can be utilized to extract the maximum revenue from customers. Some of these will be discussed in this paper. The nature of the business is important here, because amusement parks deal in a perishable good (park capacity). There are many different revenue streams within the park as well, so revenue management policies affect an entire suite of products and services, rather than a single good (No author, 2013).
One revenue management strategy is to foster repeat visits. While some customers travel to visit the park, there is a market of local consumers who might visit the park. Converting occasional visitors from this group into regular visitors can increase revenue substantially. Heo and Lee (2009) note that consumers find revenue management at…

Ebooks by Amazon
Amazon is the leading e-book (electronic books) seller across the globe given its market dominance over the years. Publishers have increasingly preferred electronic books because of their tendency to be more profitable for them. The increased preference of e-books by publishers is attributable to the fact that they are less to create and distribute. In addition, electronic books are preferred by publishers because they are not subject to returns from bookstores. Amazon has continued to influence the e-books market because of its dominance that has generated significant profits over the years. However, there is need for the company to increase revenues generated by e-books because of various factors. First, publishers are looking for measures to halt Amazon's influence on this market. Secondly, the company should look for ways to enhance its profit because of the decrease in e-book sales by 11% in the last financial year (Pressman, 2016).

In a general market decline for the third quarter, Apple just announced a major competitive product to help fight with its competitors that have cheaper tablets on the market. It announced the mini iPad to compete with Amazon's Kindle and other products, whose companies are showing higher stock percentage increases. However, as the article stated, "investors were underwhelmed, with most of the new products previously reported or rumored." This management decision may have been made too early, as the company will ultimately be competing with itself based on the recent launch of the iPad 2. As such, stocks fell about 3.3% after the announcement went public. The article has several vivid imaged that showcase the new iPad Mini alongside Apple sponsored videos unveiling the product. They help showcase the product in question, but really don't provide any insight into the negative impact the announcement had in terms of stock value.
Safety Concerns at Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and Implications for Ridership
The Metro network operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) provides mass transportation for the nation's capital region for visitors, residents and especially members of the federal government workforce. Besides 118 miles of rail tracks and 91 stations (making it the nation's second-largest heavy rail transit system), the Metro also operates the fifth largest paratransit service and sixth largest bus network in the country today (Metro facts, 2016). Taken together, the Metro clearly represents a valuable transportation resource, but the WMATA has been plagued by several safety-related issues that have adversely affected ridership levels in recent years as discussed further below.
Problem Statement:
Metrorail ridership in the second half of 2015 dropped to levels not seen since 2004, overall weekday ridership was down six percent compared to FY2015 and weekend ridership was down twelve percent. The ridership declines…
GAAP is a set of specific common guidelines, provided by the institutions such as the Financial Accounting Standards oard, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission, about "acceptable accounting practices"
These acceptable practices should not necessarily be regarded as a set of ground rules.

Marginal Analysis
Define marginal revenue.
Explain its relationship with total revenue.
Marginal Revenue (MR) is the revenue that is linked to one more additional unit of production. The demand for the product will determine whether it will be higher or lower or even the same as the previous unit of production revenue. MR can be defined therefore as the addition realized revenue to the Total Revenue (TR) by a unit increment in the sales volume of a firm in the market (Economics Concepts, 2011).
For instance if a lime factory sells 100 liters of lime at $4 per liter, the total revenue of the factory would be $400. Incase the factory increases the sales volume from 100 liters to 101 liters, then the total revenue of the factory increases to $404. The increase by $4 in the total revenue by one unit increase in rate of sales per period of time is the…

Marginal revenue = marginal cost
This paper will examine the MR=MC principle, which is one of the guiding economic principles for business. This reflects the relationship between marginal revenue and marginal cost. Marginal revenue is the additional revenue from producing a unit of a good, and marginal cost is the additional cost of producing that unit. In general, businesses prefer to produce only when they can make more selling a unit than it cost to produce, but there are exceptions, and that is where the MR=MC principle relationship becomes interesting.
MR=MC is also known as the profit maximization rule (IE, 2018). The slope of this curve reflects the margin, and how it changes as the company achieves economies of scale. For example, if a company has a slow, manual process for producing widgets that results in a marginal cost of $1.00 per widget, and but because widgets are not differentiated even when…
Saic
The two proposed changes for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) include diversifying its revenue stream to include a growing customer base in the private sector, and streamlining its operations by attempting to reduce costs while still maintaining its profits. The problem addressed by these two solutions is that approximately 90% of SAIC's business is attributed to the Department of Defense (DoD), and that in the wake of governmental budgetary cuts SAIC would likely endure a commensurate reduction in its business. In assessing the impact of both of these options it is important to realize that, according to Clemmer (2001), change is inevitable and "We can choose to anticipate and embrace changes or resist them." In fact, this basic distinction provides one of the most eminent ways of stratifying the impact of the aforementioned two options. The former creates a scenario in which SAIC has the potential to expand its…

The company's stock history tells a somewhat similar story to this brief ratio analysis. After peaking at over forty dollars a share in 2006, the stock price fell dramatically and fairly consistently until bottoming out at just under two dollar per share in 2009 (Yahoo Finance, 2012). Since then, the rice has struggled back to a certain gain, though has largely remained stagnant hovering around eight dollar per share, and it is currently trading at just under seven dollars per share (Yahoo Finance, 2012). This performance does not point to an especially strong company, but again it does not indicate a weak one, and instead shows a company that appears to be succeeding in efforts to stabilize.

Although he attempts to invoke the dynamism of his organization in its ability to provide succinct resolutions to vexing problems, his mere language strikes us as pre-scripted, lacking the subtle virtues of personalization. His ideas seems unsubstantial, as is indicated by his insistence on hiring people who smile. French philosopher Jean Baudrillard said of American culture, "Smile if you have nothing to say...Americans may have no identity, but they do have wonderful teeth." The tastes of such men seem to reflect this lack of identity; they are reflected in anonymously elegant chain hotels such as Radisson and Hyatt, which seem to the casual observer to be all but identical from Prague to Singapore.

Accounting Questions & Answers
The first accounting question is why revenue recognition is a significant issue. ecognizing when revenue comes in, what specific revenue stems from and the exact amount of all of the above is a very vital part of the accounting process because it has a direct correlation and effect on the profit/loss of a company, the income statement, the cash flow statement and, to a lesser extent, the balance sheet. evenues are used to defray the costs of the goods/services that were disseminated and they need to be properly measured and accounted for, and in the time period to which they apply, so as to ensure that all of the affected and relevant financial statements reflect what is truly going on and when precisely it happens (McQuaig & Bille, 2008).

revenue and decreasing costs and expenses for a business are two totally separate but interactive components. All entities that are in business; both for profit and non-profit, should be concerned with increasing the revenues as well as decreasing the expenses; it makes smart business sense and those entities that do not do so often find themselves becoming irrelevant or even worse, no longer viable. As an example, even the public hospitals in China show concern as evidenced in a recent paper. The research found that "ith market-oriented economic and health-care reform, public hospitals in China have received unprecedented pressures from governmental regulations, public opinions, and financial demands. To adapt the changing environment and keep pace of modernizing healthcare delivery system, public hospitals in China are expanding clinical services and improving delivery efficiency, while controlling costs" (Zhao, Yu, Liu, Ma, ang, Kong, Li, Ma, Cui, Xu, Yu, Bao, Guo, ang,…

Accounting Information System
Improving Transactional Processing in Accounting Information System (AIS)
Propose two (2) innovative technology changes that would be appropriate for a firm's:
evenue (sales to cash collection) cycle
evenue cycle represents the description of the financial progression of a business entity in relation to the accounts receivable from the point of acquisition of products to the stage when the company or business organization receives full payment for the products (omney, 2012). One of the innovative technological changes that can transform the revenue cycle is leverage technology. This technology would allow the company or business entity to adopt appropriate way of providing crucial information to essential parties in relation to consumers or market audience.

Transhare
Trans-Share Case Study: An Analysis of Accounting Practices Before the Company Goes Public
It is an exciting day for Trans-Share. The opportunity to finally go public has come, but with it are a number of very important decisions the organization must make about its operational procedures. It is important for companies to work out the kinks of its financial reporting before the organization goes public, which makes the accounting situation much more complicated. As such, it is recommended that Trans-Share review its current financial reporting methods in order to determine if they are the most efficient.
After reviewing the case study, it can be assumed that it is best that the fractional interest program be accounted for immediately as a sale, and not a lease. The processes for accounting leases simply do not fit the needs of the organization best. Some adjustments are needed, but an entire overhaul of the accounting policy…

Federal Government Tax
The main source of government income is taxes. The government taxes various organizations in the economy differently to ensure that adequate revenue is collected. Corporate use loopholes in the tax system to reduce the tax paid to the federal government. The government should eliminate these loopholes to improve tax collection. Some taxes such as gift and estate tax as they are counter productive. Changes made to the federal tax collection systems will increase the tax collected by increasing compliance.
esearch the most common tax loopholes used by corporations and partnership to avoid paying federal income tax. Discuss two (2) loopholes identified and what strategies you would recommend to the federal government for closing these loopholes.
The federal government gets most of its revenue from collection of tax used to fund most of the expenditure. The government should ensure that the tax collection avenues are free from loopholes to facilitate efficient…

Purchasing a CT Scanner
Benefits and Costs of Purchasing A CT Scanner: A Comprehensive Evaluation
"Each year, buyers of CT scanners faced much-improved choice sets; the question is how valuable those improvements were," and thus this is a review to explore whether or not the acquisition of CT scanners are actually worth a hospital committing to such an expensive effort (Ellickson et al. 2001 p 544). Overall, the health benefits of CT scans are often extremely positive to patient care. Still, the machines and organizational costs tied to their maintenance are often costly to both the organization and the patients. Yet, the purchase of such technology does provide greater quality and efficiency within patient care strategies, from a health and organizational perspective. In such, it is clear that the positives of purchasing such technology would then outweigh any potential negatives.
CT scanners are an impressive testament to the evolution of modern medical…
