that assumes that the cost of your inventory or manufactured goods is rising. if it were falling then the answer would be the opposite.

I like Quicken better.  It is more full featured.  One example I can think of is that Microsoft Money debt elimination feature is not smart enough to shift excess payments to higher interest debt to help you get out of debt faster.  Quicken will show you how to do this and show you the dollar and time-till-debt-free savings you will gain from the changes.

Well the PF that is deducted is paid in 2 tranches, check if you got both your tranches also.\n\nYou should ideally get your share + Company share + interest

Because then the risk free rate goes up, which makes the cost of carrying higher.  The time value of money goes up, so the money that you "save" by buying the option instead of the underlying costs more.

it's best to file on time and be late with the money than to be late with both.

I consider disk drive companies to be in a commodity business. It might be under or overvalued, but it still is closely tied to pc sales for it to have a true shot at market outperformance. 20 years ago was the prime time for Maxtor. You would be better off with a tech based ETF, spread the risk.

Generally money markets give you the best return on your money.  Paypal offers pretty good returns.  When I did a search on bankrate.com for my area Capital One, FSB was the best institution I had heard of at 4.55%.

It's all about risk.  \n\nAn Asset Manager will manage your money by buying and selling assets (usually shares).  They are heavily regulated and are supposed to be experienced financial professionals who can get a higher rate of return on your savings than you would be able to on your own.  \n\nA Hedge Fund is more lighly regulated and employs all sorts of higher risk methods (selling shares short, derivatives, investing borrowed money) to get a higher rate of return.  They are able to go anywhere and do almost anything.  For years that meant they got a much higher rate of return than Asset Managers and were consequentially very highly paid.  These days they field uis much more crowded and the returns have come right down.  In addition regulators are paying more attention and also giving Asset Managers the fredom to do things like invest in derivatives.

depends on your accounting standards.  If the gain is unrealized and you keep your books on a cost basis -- you don't account for it.  The only time that you would account for it would be if you were going to sell your business and you wanted to illustrate a pro-forma Balance Sheet based on market price/value of your assets.  If you were doing that then you would increase the value of your assets and your capital accounts.

There's actually some debate about this.  Traditional wisdom says that high interest rates lower capital outflows and low interest rates increase it.  But if the raising of interest rates comes close to a possible default, the risk premium will make the capital account worse off.

Sales and trading could be slightly higher in most places. But depends on the place really. There are banks that like their traders more than CM guys and vice versa.

There are numerous ways to do cost basis.  The way that you are referrring to is the FIFO method, which is fine.  You might pay a bit more if the stock went up since your cost basis for the original shares is lower, but this would be offset by the long-term treatment.\n\nAs long as you keep track of which shares went where with the dates and the rest of the documentation, you're free to use that method.

Theyre both top companies. Its only a matter of personal preference I'd say if the DLink because of price as you have no brand bias yet.

financial ratios is meaningless if u r not comparing with the peers or the industry.\nsome, lessay current ratio, the higher means the company is vy highly liquid. but if the whole industry is vy low yet company ABC is the only company which its current ratio is high, then u need to find out y.. is it because they liquidate something assets...etc watever reasons. It may also means that ABC hasn't fully utilised its assets.\nIn short, a figure alone doesn't give much answer to u. to judge if a company is efficient or not, u need to look at the whole industry & its peers. There u will get a broader picture of that company.

I agree.  It is impossible to estimate cash flows from unknown products.  You could take historical flows from a very large operation, but even that is merely filling in the blank just for the sake of not having a blank.

Without looking at the financial statements this is a bit tricky, however I think that the answer is D (the first one) they issues bonds.  \n\nThe bonds exchange debt for cash.  The had large cash outflows, due to the dividend, equipment purchase and the repurchase of common stock, it would result in a cash deficit.  The amortization expense does not effect cash flow. If the cash balance went up, it is because the bond issue generated more cash than the cumulative deficit created by the operations (profits and losses adjusted for cash) or because they may have large payables due to the capital purchases (doubtful but possible)  It looks to me, from your description, that the company has determined that long term debt (bonds) is cheaper than equity, so it reduced equity through stock repurchase and dividends and replaced that cash, through a bond issue.
