They earn commissions on their own sales and they also create commissions for the “upliners” who recruited them. In turn, they receive commissions from any “downliners” they recruit to sell.

Chapter 4 Comparison and Contrast

Chapter 4 Comparison and Contrast






in spite of /despite 尽管, 不管 conversely 相反地 differ from 和…不同 … to the contrary 相反 的… even though/if 即使 yet 还,仍旧,依然 in contrast to 和…形成对 比 anyway/anyhow 总之,无 论如何


A Special form of comparison — analogy Analogy is tracing a striking likeness between unlike things. Electricity is transferred from one place to another in much the same manner as water. A water pipe performs the same function as a length of wire. The pipe carries water to its point of use in the same manner as wire carries electricity to its point of use. A blown fuse(熔断的保险丝 )results from the same thing as a burst water pipe. Both give out due to extreme pressure applied to the walls of the carrier. A switch is to electricity what a faucet (水龙头)is to water. Both of them control the flow of the substance. Since electricity and water have some common properties, understanding the job of the plumber will help understanding the work of the electrician.

(p. 124-13) What is considered normal practice in one country may be considered unethical in others.

Therefore, what might be considered a normal business practice in one country may constitute unethical behavior in another country. Managers in a multinational company need to be sensitive to these differences and choose the ethical action in those circumstances where variation across societies creates the potential for ethical problems. In the international business setting, the most common ethical issues involve employment practices, human rights, environmental regulations, corruption and the moral obligation of multinational corporations.4-11。

Axial skeleton
The axial skeleton includes the bones in the head, neck, spine, chest and trunk of the body. These bones form the central axis for the whole body and protect many of the internal organs such as the brain, lungs, and heart. The head or skull is divided into two parts consisting of the cranium and facial bones. These bones protect the brain and special sense organs from injury. The cranium covers the brain and the facial bones surround the mouth, nose, and eyes. Muscles for chewing and head movements are attached to the cranial bones. The cranium consists of the frontal , parietal , temporal, ethmoid , sphenoid , and occipital bones. The facial bones are the mandible , maxilla , zygomatic , vomer, palatine , nasal , and lacrimal bones. The cranial and facial bones are illustrated in Figure 3.1 and described in Table 3.1.

Chapter 04-The Path of least resistance

Chapter 04-The Path of least resistance

(Chapter 4)(The Path of Least Resistance)A Lesson from the GhettoRecently I was traveling from New York’s La Guardia Airport to Manhattan. My cabdriver chose to avoid the congested traffic on the East River Drive. His route brought me through my old neighborhood in East Harlem.I had moved there after getting a master’s degree from the Boston Conservatory of Music. What a contrast that was, cultural Boston and “culturally deprived” East Harlem. For a musician just if for the New York music scene, East 110th Street between Second and Third Avenue was just the right price in those days.Most of us have a talent for selective memory. We remember the past as containing many more good experiences than bad ones. (My grandmother had it just the other way around.) And so, as I studied my old turf, I was flooded with wonderful memories of my ghetto days. Suddenly I was brought back to the present by an extraordinary example of ghetto art, graffiti.This art from developed years ago. Its origin was the wanton vandalizing of property. When I lived in East Harlem, graffiti was not yet an art form. Just kids, spray cans, and walls. Mostly the kids used the walls to express their hostility by painting expletives in large, sloppy letters. Occasionally a kid would express his romantic tendencies with great declarations of love; Jose’ loves Judy.Over the years the letters became more artistic and then developed into complex artistic creations. The young artists became competitive with each other. Originality and craft became the norm. The bravado of youthful energy came to beexpressed in painting rather than in gang warfare. Bold designs gave way to bolder designs. The color was strong, direct, primary.The city became the canvas. These artists would stalk at night and paint on whatever surface they found. They used up the available walls quickly and then found the perfect symbol of their art: subway cars- owned by the society the artists were separate from, vital to the movement of the populace, gray, drab, dilapidated, lifeless and institutional.The graffiti writers would break into the railway yards and spend the night painting subway cars. Then the Transit Authority would spread their works to a mass audience throughout the city. Influenced by each other’s work, the artists’creations got better. The authorities became alarmed and put armed guards around the railway yards. But by that time the highbrow art world had taken notice. Some of the best ghetto artists were sought out by art dealers. The artists switched to real canvasses. A fad rose and fell in short order.Gallery success might have been temporary, but the artists kept on painting, growing, and developing. New artists emerged, pushing the art form further and further still. Later the city of Tokyo would invite one of the best artists to come to Japan and paint long murals on their subway cars.What a story. Too strange to be fiction. If someone had told you twenty-five years ago that somebody in New York City the “culturally deprived,”undereducated children of welfare would rise up, not in violence, but in art and in dance (break dancing) and in poetry (rap), you might have asked to examine that person’s sugar cube for traces of LSD.What caught my eye and captured my imagination that day in East Harlem was a new evolutionary step in graffiti art. It was the choice of colors. Pastels. No longer the bright, bold, shouting colors of a few years ago, but colors that were soft, translucent, subtle, and penetrating.Somewhere in the destructive life of the inner city, a young artist is think about color. Experimenting with quinacri-done violet and cerulean blue. Mixing and blending opposite colors to create illusions of space and dimension. And somehow, because of this, I experience hope for our civilization.There is a profound lesson here. It is partly about the human spirit. We have been led to believe that the circumstances of our life determine our ability to express ourselves. That for us to explore new dimensions of our being, our conditions need to be favorable. If that were true, how could such creativity, originality, and vitality come from such humble and adverse beginnings as the ghetto? How is it that it was from there, and not there sacred institutions of academia, that new thought, born of what is highest in humanity, developed and grew? Perhaps our true is that of creators, who can bring forth new life out of any set of circumstance.Creating Is Not a Product of the CircumstancesCreating is completely different from reacting or responding to the circumstances you are in. The process of creating is not generated by the circumstances in which you find yourself, but the creation itself.It is popular to think of creativity as a product of your environment, culture, or other circumstances that foster the creative process. An example of this notion was the corporate fad, popular just a few years ago, of “engineer environments” that weresupposed to the conducive for creating. But a quick survey of the history of creativity will make it obvious that people have created in a wide range of circumstances, from convenient ones to difficult ones.As you begin to consider what you want to create in your life. It is good for you to know that the circumstances that presently exist are not the determining factor of the results you desire to create. You are not limited by them, eve though it may seem you are entrenched in them.Because creating is so essentially different from the creative-responsive orientation to which you have been exposed, it may seem ridiculous to consider life to be any different from what you have experienced before. You may be reading these words with the suspicion that this is yet another pep talk designed to inspire you to a new way of life. Or you may think that creating is possible only for the artist, that the creative process is limited to painting, music, filmmaking, poetry, or the other arts.Even though the most obvious expression of the creative process is found in the arts, it is in no way limited to the arts. Almost all of your life’s desires can be the subject of the creative process. There need be no separation from the creative process as practiced in the arts and the same creative process as practiced in other human endeavors. In addition, the art is a perfect arena for learning the special ability and skill of creating.It is wise to learn about the creative process from those practitioners who know the most about it and who have used it to bring the highest fruits of the creative process into being. This is a different skill from what you have learned in school, at home, or at work, and yet it is one of the most important skills to develop in your life.Pablo Casals, one of the greatest cellists of our century, did not limit his concept of creating his music.I have always regarded manual labor as creative and looked withrespect- and, yes, wonder- at people who work with their hands. Itseems to me that heir creativity is no less than that of a violinist orpainter.And psychologist Carl Rogers has written:The action of the child inventing a few game with his playmates;Einstein formulating a theory of relativity; the housewife devising anew sauce for the meat; a young author writing his first novel; all ofthese are, in terms of our definition, creative, and there is no attempt toset them in some order of more or less creative.When one does not consciously know the skill of creating, it is common to suppose the creative process a product of the unconscious, or of mysticism. Then the creative process becomes a search for the formula that will tap your hidden powers. Because your “normal” self seems not to be the possessor of such powers, you might assume they must lie somewhere else.In the story of Dumbo the elephant, a mouse convinces Dumbo that he can fly because of a “magic” feather. Dumbo tries out the feature and finds he can fly. But one day he loses his feather and thinks he has lost the ability. The mouse confesses that the story of the magic feather was a hoax and that Dumbo’s ability to fly was his own. Dumbo discovers he can fly without benefit of feather.Many of the theories about the creative process are similar to Dumbo’s magicfeather. In these theories the power to create what you want depends on a magical talisman that will enable you to unlock your hidden powers once and for all.To some jungle tribes who have not had contact with modern civilization,the jet planes they see flying overhead take on a magical meaning. These planes are seen as gods or at least vehicles of gods.It is common to assume that the unknown is unknowable, or at lease unknowable by normal means. It is our inexperience and ignorance that can make the creative process seem as if it is an outcome of magical operations, the same kind of inexperience and ignorance a jungle tribe may have about modern aviation. But, in fact, creating is a skill that can be learned and developed. Like any skill, you learn by practice and hands-on experience. You can learn to create by creating.The StepsThe steps in the creative process are simple to describe, but they do not constitute a formula. Instead, each step represents certain types of actions. Some aspects of the creative process are active, some are more passive. Different aspects call for different skills. You ma have developed some of these skills already and find that other skills are not as easy at first. Each time you create a new result, you are involved in a unique creation. While your ability will develop over time with experience, every new creation has its own individual process.In this chapter I will outline the basic steps of creating. In later chapters I will develop these steps so that you will be able to begin to experiment with them in your own life. Think of the following as an overview of the creative process rather than as a formula to adopt.1.Conceive of the result you want to create.Creators start at the end. First have an idea of what they want to create. Sometimes this idea is general, and sometimes it is specific. Before you can create what you want to create, you must know what you are after, what you want to bring into being. Your original concept may be clear, or it may be simply a rough draft. Either will work well. Some creators like to improvise as they create, so they begin with a general concept. A painter may not know exactly how the final painting may look, but he or she has enough of a concept to make adjustments during the creative process so that the painting in progress will come closer and closer to what the artist wants. Other painters know exactly what the final painting will look like before they pick up a brush. Georgia O’Keeffe said, “I don’t start until I’m almost entirely clear. It is a waste of time and paint if I don’t. I’ve wasted a lot of canvasses, so be pretty clear.”Knowing what you want is itself skill. Our traditional educational system does not encourage you to know what you want. Instead you are encouraged to choose the “correct” response from narrow choices that life seems to offer. Frequently this has little relationship to what you really want. Because of this, many people develop an ambivalence toward what they want. And why not? It is hard to be enthusiastic about the choices most people are left with. But as you develop your own creative process, conceiving of the results you want will become meaningful and interesting.2.Know what currently exists.If you were painting a painting, you would need to know the current state ofthe painting as it developed. This would be important knowledge. If you did not know what you had created so far, it would be impossible for you to add more brushstrokes or change what you had done so as to bring the painting you wanted into being.Knowing what currently exists is another skill. While this may sound deceptively simple, in fact most of us have been encouraged to view reality with particular biases. Some people make reality seem better than it is, some make it seem worse than it is, and some minimize how good or bad it can be. One of the most important abilities creators have is the ability to be objective about their own creation. There is a notion, popular in many university philosophy departments, that you can never really view reality objectively. But in the same university, the art department teachers those students to draw portraits of models. This drawing skill helps students learn first to see, and then represent, what they are looking at. Even though each art student may have his or her own style of portraiture, anyone from the philosophy department could identify the model by looking at any of the drawings of the model.In music conservatories students are taught to identify rhythms, harmonies, and intervals by hearing them. This skill is called ear training. This is another skill in which students are taught to identify and represent reality correctly. When they write down the music that was played, it is not a matter of “interpretation.” If the student correctly identifies what was played, he or she gets an A. Students who do not correctly identify what is played get less than an A. Music students learn how concrete the perception of music can be. This is another example of training designed to enhance the ability to view reality objectively.In a similar way, you need to develop the skill of viewing reality objectively.For many people reality is an acquired taste. At first glance you may have uncomfortable and disturbing experiences. If you were in a problem-solving mode, you would take action to restore feelings of balance and well-being. The most common way people do this is by misrepresenting reality. They may lie, rationalize, or distract themselves from what is going on. But as you learn to master your own creative process, you develop a capacity for truth. Good, bad, or indifferent, you will still want to know accurately what is going on.3.Take actionOnce you know what you want and what you currently have, the next step is to take action. But what kind of action do you take? Creating is a matter of invention rather than of convention. Education emphasizes convention, so you may have had little experience with inventing. Inventing is another skill that can be developed. When you take an action that is designed to bring your creation into being, the action may either work or not work. If the action works, you can continue taking it or discontinue taking it. Sometimes it will be useful to continue, sometimes it will not be useful to continue. You will know what to do by watching the changes in the current state of the result. All the actions, the ones that work and the ones that do not work, help to create the final result. This is because creating itself is a learning process, learning what works and what does not work. The stock-in-trade of a creator are the abilities to experiment and to evaluate one’s experiments.Invention is not all trail and error. As you invent actions to bring your creations into being, you begin to develop an instinct for the actions that work best. Creators are able to develop an economy of means. This generally happens over time, and themore you create, the more chance you have to develop your own instincts.Some of the actions you take will help you move directly to the result you want, but most will not. The art of creating is often found in your ability to adjust or correct what you have done so far. Many people have been encouraged to “get it right the first time”or, even worse, to “be perfect.”This policy can lead to profound inexperience in the adjustment process. Instead of making the most of what you have done so far, in order to bring creation into existence, you may be tempted to give up anytime the circumstances seem against you. Sometimes people encourage others to “stay with it”and develop “determination and fortitude”in reaction to habitual quitting. But this manipulation hardly ever works. Without an ever-increasing ability to adjust the actions you take, trying to “stay with it”can seem like banging your head against a wall. After sincere attempts to “stay with it” fail and fail again, the path of least resistance is to quit. You may have thought your habitual giving up was a serious character flaw. But this is probably not the case. It is not fortitude, willpower, or determination that enables you to continue the creative process, but learning as you go.4. Learn the rhythms of the creative process.There are three distinct phases of the creative process: germination, assimilation, and completion. Each phase has its own energy and class of actions.Germination begins with excitement and newness. Partly this germinational energy comes from the unusualness of the new activity.Assimilation is often the least obvious phase of the process. In this phase the initial “thrill is gone.” This phase moves from a focus on internal action to a focus onexternal action. In this phase you live with your concept of what you want to create and internalize it. It becomes part of you. Because of this, you are able to generate energy to use in your experiments and learning. The drama of the first blush of germination is over, but this new, quiet energy of assimilation helps you form the result.Completion is the third stage of creation. This stage has a similar energy to germination, but new it is applied to a creation that is more tangible. In this phase you use the energy not only to bring to final completion the result you are creating but also to position yourself for your next creation. In other words, this stage leads also to the germination of your next creation.5. Creating momentumMany of the theories describing creativity these days have a tone of “beginners luck.”For professional creators there is a different tone, that of ever-increasing momentum. Not only is the creative process a reliable method for producing the results you want, it also contains seeds of its own development. Who do you think has a greater chance for successfully creating the results they want: those who have done it for years, or those who are novices? It is true that some first-time novelists write masterpieces, but this is the exception, not the rule. Even Mozart, perhaps the most gifted composer in history, developed and grew in his art. The music he wrote in his thirties was far more advanced than what he wrote in his twenties or in his teens. The more music he wrote, the more he was able to write. His increasing experience gave him the momentum typical of the creative process. If you begin to create the results you want today, you are more prepared to create the results you want ten yearsfrom now. Each new creation gives you added experience and knowledge of your own creative process. You will naturally increase your ability to envision what you want and your ability to bring those results into being.。

Then, assuming constant growth, the value of the contract is given by the first payment (0.5 percent of portfolio value) divided by (r – g).

If existing stockholders buy newly issued shares to cover the $3.6 millionfinancing requirement, then the value of Concatco equals the discounted value of the cash flows (as computed in Section 4.5): $18.8 million.Since the existing stockholders own 1 million shares, the value pershare is $18.80.Now suppose instead that the $3.6 million comes from new investors, who buy shares each year at a fair price. Since the new investors buy shares at a fair price, the value of the existing stockholders’ shares must remain at $18.8 million. Since existing stockholders expect to earn 10% on their investment, the expected value of their shares in year 6 is:$18.8 million × (1.10) 6 = $33.39 millionThe total value of the firm in year 6 is:$1.59 million / (0.10 – 0.06) = $39.75 millionCompensation to new stockholders in year 6 is:$39.75 million – $33.39 million = $6.36 millionSince existing stockholders own 1 million shares, then in year 6, newstockholders will own:($6.36 million / $33.39 million) × 1,000,000 = 190,300 sharesShare price in year 6 equals:$39.75 million / 1.1903 million = $33.39。

Explain what is meant by an “efficient financial market” and describe the three levels (or forms) of market efficiency.Questions:1. If investors were not risk averse on average, but rather were either risk indifferent (neutral) or even liked risk, would the risk- return concepts presented in this chapter be valid?2. Define the characteristic line and its beta.3. Why is beta a measure of systematic risk? What is its meaning?4. What is the required rate of return of a stock? How can it be measured?5. Is the security market line constant over time? Why or why not?6. Suppose that you are highly risk averse but that you still invest in common stocks.

The traditional definitions of collection period and inventory turnover are criticized because in both cases balance sheet figures that are a result of approximately the last month of sales are related to annual sales (in the former case) or annual cost of goods sold (in the latter case). Why do these definitions present problems? Suggest a solution.6. Explain why a long-term creditor should be interested in liquidity ratios?7. Which financial ratios would you be most likely to consult if you were the following?a. A banker considering the financial of seasonal inventoryb. A wealthy equity investorc. The manager of a pension fund considering the purchase of a firm’sbondsd. The president of a consumer products firm8. In trying to judge whether a company has too much debt, what financial ratios would you use and for that purpose?9. Why might it be possible for a company to make large operating profits, yet still be unable to meet debt payments when due? What financial ratios might be employed to detect such a condition?10. Does increasing a firm’s inventory turnover ratio increase its profitability? Why should this ratio be computed using cost of goods sold (rather than sales, asis done by some compilers of financial statistics)?Chapter 7 Fund Analysis, Cash-Flow Analysis, and Financial Planning Flow of Funds (Sources and Uses) StatementAccounting Statement of Cash FlowsCash-Flow ForecastingRange of Cash-Flow EstimatesForecasting Financial StatementsKey Learning Points:Forecasting Financial StatementsObjectives:After Studying Chapter 7, you should be able to: Explain the difference between the flow of funds (sources and uses of funds) statement and the statement of cash flows –and understand the benefits of using each.

What is the impact of this decision on the profitability and risk of this firm?7. At times, long-term interest rates are lower than short-term rates, yet the discussion in the chapter suggests that long-term financing is more expensive. If long-term rates are lower, should the firm finance itself entirely with long-term debt?8. How does shortening the maturity composition of outstanding debt increase the firm’s risk?

IntermediateAccountingChapter4中级会计学第四章课后习题答案

Chapter 4The Income Statement and Statement of Cash FlowsQUESTIONS FOR REVIEW OF KEY TOPICSQuestion 4-5The term earnings quality refers to the ability of reported earnings (income) to predict a company’s future earnings. After all, an income statement simply reports on events that already have occurred. The relevance of any historical-based financial statement hinges on its predictive value.Question 4-7The process of intraperiod tax allocation matches tax expense or tax benefit with each major component of income, specifically continuing operations and any item reported below continuing operations. The process is necessary to achieve the desired result of separating the total income effects of continuing operations from the two separately reported items - discontinued operations and extraordinary items, and also to show the after-tax effect of each of those two components.Question 4-9Extraordinary items are material gains and losses that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, taking into account the environment in which the entity operates.Question 4-11GAAP permit alternative treatments for similar transactions. Common examples are the choice among FIFO, LIFO, and average cost for the measurement of inventory and the choice among alternative revenue recognition methods. A change in accounting principle occurs when a company changes from one generally accepted treatment to another.In general, we report voluntary changes in accounting principles retrospectively. This means revising all previous periods’ financial statements as if the new method were used in those periods. In other words, for each year in the comparative statements reported, we revise the balance of each account affected. Specifically, we make those statements appear as if the newly adopted accounting method had been applied all along. Also, if retained earnings is one of the accounts whose balance requires adjustment (and it usually is), we revise the beginning balance of retained earnings for the earliest period reported in the comparative statements of shareholders’ equity (or statements of retained earnings if they’re presented instead).Then we create a journal entry to adjust all account balances affected as of the date of the change. In the first set of financial statements after the change, a disclosure note would describe the change and justify the new method as preferable. It also would describe the effects of the change on all items affected, including the fact that the retained earnings balance was revised in the statement of shareholders’ equity along with the cumulative effect of the change in retained earnings.An exception is a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method. These changes are accounted for as a change in estimate, rather than as a change in accounting principle. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. The remaining book value is depreciated, amortized, or depleted, using the new method, over the remaining useful life.Question 4-15Comprehensive income is the total change in equity for a reporting period other than from transactions with owners. Reporting comprehensive income can be accomplished with a separate statement or by including the information in either the income statement or the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.Question 4-22U.S. GAAP designates cash outflows for interest payments and cash inflows from interest and dividends received as operating cash flows. Dividends paid to shareholders are classified as financing cash flows. IFRS allows more flexibility. Companies can report interest and dividends paid as either operating or financing cash flows and interest and dividends received as either operating or investing cash flows. Interest and dividend payments usually are reported as financing activities. Interest and dividends received normally are classified as investing activitiesBRIEF EXERCISESBrief Exercise 4-6*$850,000 x 40%Note: Restructuring costs, interest revenue, and loss on sale of investments are included in income before income taxes and extraordinary item.Brief Exercise 4-9*$5,800,000 x 30%** Loss from operations of discontinued component:Impairment loss ($8 million book value less$7 million net fair value) $(1,000,000) Operating loss (3,600,000) Total before-tax loss $(4,600,000)EXERCISES Exercise 4-3* 30% x $440,000Pretax income from continuing operations $14,000,000Income tax expense (5,600,000) Income from continuing operations 8,400,000 Less: Net income 7,200,000 Loss from discontinued operations $1,200,000 $1,200,000 60%* = $2,000,000 = before tax loss from discontinued operations.*1-tax rate of 40% = 60%Pretax income of division $4,000,000 Add: Loss from discontinued operations 2,000,000 Impairment loss $6,000,000 Fair value of division’s assets$11,000,000 Add: Impairment loss 6,000,000 Book value of division’s assets$17,000,000Requirement 1This is a change in accounting estimate.Requirement 2$2,400,000 Cost$240,000 Previous annual amortization ($2,400,000 ÷ 10 years) x 21/2 yrs. 600,000 Amortization to date (2009-2011)1,800,000 Book value÷ 5 yrs.

财务会计1-4章习题参考答案

财务会计课后习题参考答案Chapter 1 Accounting Matters!Question 7The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capable of being expressed in terms of money be included in the accounting records. An important part of the monetary unit assumption is the added assumption that the unit of measure remains sufficiently constant over time. The assumption of a stable monetary unit has been challenged because of the significant decline in the purchasing power of the dollar. The profession has recognized this problem and encourages companies to disclose the effects of changing prices.Question 10One of the advantages Teresa Speck would enjoy is that ownership of a corporation is represented by transferable shares of stock. This would allow Teresa to raise money easily by selling a part of her ownership in the company. Another advantage is that because holders of the shares (stockholders) enjoy limited liability, they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate entity. Also, because ownership can be transferred without dissolving the corporation, the corporation enjoys an unlimited life.EXERCISE 1-31. (c) 5. (d)2. (d) 6. (b)3. (a) 7. (e)4. (b) 8.

The revenue recognition principle states that revenue is recognized when it is earned. The fees of $20,000 for summer rentals have not been earned and, therefore, should not be reported in income for the quarter ended March 31. The matching principle dictates that efforts (expenses) be matched with accomplishments (revenues) whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so. This means that the expenses should include amounts incurred in March but not paid until April. The difference in expenses was $8,250 ($48,950 – $40,700). The overstatement of revenues ($20,000) plus the understatement of expenses ($8,250) equals the difference in reported income of $28,250 ($49,300 – $21,050).财务会计习题答案2012春Chapter 4 Completion of the Accounting CycleP 4-1A8(b)UNDERCOVER ROOFING INC.Income StatementFor the Month Ended March 31, 2006RevenuesService revenue...................................................................................................................... $3,170 ExpensesSalaries expense......................................................................................... $1,050Supplies expense (960)Depreciation expense (200)Miscellaneous expense (200)Total expenses......................................................................................................................2,410 Net income ............................................................................................................................ $ 760UNDERCOVER ROOFING INC.Retained Earnings StatementFor the Month Ended March 31, 2006Retained earnings, March 1................................................................................................ $2,000 Add: Net income ..
