You're on a gaming site talking about accounting when in all honesty noone gives a fuck.
I work for a fortune 500 company actually, I'm majoring as a mechanical engineer. And my pension plan is pretty good with them. I work 12 hour shifts all week and work on people's cars on the side, but I don't know what work is. Goodluck with college although you'll probably drop out like everyoneeelse. Let me guess, community?

Supra wrote:Goodrich aerospace industries, look them up. I invite you to come out to Spokane washington and watch my drift my fully built Sr20det 240sx, hell ill even send you admission tickets free of charge. As for my pension plan, if your smart enough to google Goodrich you might find the details about it. Applied to how much I'm making with said amount being put in, and considering my age, over time it will be a great retirement fund. Granted it takes many years to build that up. Plus the stocks I own with Goodrich, about (150) I bought them for roughly $55 a share. So I spent close to 10,000 which was most of my college fund, which was fine since I have a scholarship through Goodrich. My shares are right around 127.00 if your smart enough to search that on the stocks. So this company is also in the middle of a merger, and when that happens they are also buying everyone's stocks for about 10% extra, that number isn't exact keep in mind. So if we take my 150 shares, and multiply them by 127.00 you get about $19000. Now take that and add 10% and you should get a number pretty close to $21000, but keep in mind I already spent 8250, so 21000-8250, Sao I made almost 13000 playing in the stocks. Please tell me how I'm not smart. What are my taxes oh so amazing accountant.

Supra wrote:I sold them already? How did you find that out before me? I still own them all and I've also kept my eye on another company for quite sometime that ill be taking this money and investing it in. Please don't tell me how to operate the stock market. Hopefully if it works out as planned I.should almost triple my money. Buy who knows, its an investment. If it works out though then ill start moving up and expanding. There is a lot of good companies I've kept my eye on to invest in. Your tax calculation sounds about right so thanks. But that's pretty easy math lol. It wasn't more of me showing off my "achievements" but more of me showing that your assumptions based on people is completely retarded. And you get pissed off really easy lol. Accountants are a dime a dozen. It's a good job but you'll end up hating it. If you don't decide to change your major, or dropout. Hopefully you won't end up taking anti depression pills, and talking to your shrink wishing you would've been something else.
PrincessFluttershy wrote:Assets and liabilities are used for the core concepts of accounting for the double-book keeping method in order for accountants to keep track of mostly everything to do with financial records. The equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stock holder's equity.
Assets would generally be something that has some form of value to your company simply put. This includes but not is not limited to Inventory, prepaid expenses, intangible assets and more. Liabilities on the other hand are debts that your companies owe, simply put. In example if you were looking at the balance sheet of a bank, some liabilities might be past due rent, wages as well as customer's deposits (To a bank, any money that belongs in a person's checking account is a liability, since at any given moment they may need to give the customer that money back).
If you meant assets or liabilities in a more specific way I'll be glad to explain it in another light as well.
I lol'd. I said IF you sold the shares you could be viewed as a blithering idiot. I bolded the part that still makes you sound like a blithering idiot. There's no way for someone to "calculate" a way to "triple" your money on the stock market. All that mumbo jumbo i told you about stock splits and supply and demand are logically sound, however, they are not actually true. If the stock market could be predicted that easily, everyone would play it and turn a profit. The problem with markets is the volatility. The best strategy anyone has ever had with stock markets is a "buy and hold" strategy, which does not ever turn you a 300% profit. The high-risk high-return strategies are what gambling morons do, and at the end of the day you will end up back where you were or sink into poverty when your market and world comes crashing down. To truly believe you can triple your money without giving a reasonable estimate of time. Laughed as you reaffirmed to everyone around, you ARE an idiot.
Supra wrote:U
Sure.
Although, I.never once stated how long it would take to reach that amount now have I? Lol. It's very possible. But like any investment its not guranteed. I've spent a very good amount of my time watching this company grow, and the customers they have gained. I feel pretty confident about my decision. You jump to conclusions way to fast lol. You have no idea how long I will hold onto my shares. Lol, and I'm not going to share nor explain my strategy to you. If it works it works, if it doesn't well then I lose money. But at the end of the day. It's just money lol. As long as I'm happy it doesn't really matter.
Supra wrote:Lol, you're funny. I didn't use that "achievement" I.used that to show you that your assumptions are completely wrong. I've never seen it as an achievement. anyone can make money. You acting like your god because your another deadbeat accountant is fucking awesome. All you do crunch numbers and calculate taxes. Don't get ahead of yourself. But like I said you'll end up hating your job. Just give it time. Maybe h and r block will hire you some day (;

Though, for what H & R block is, which is a very efficient and cheap tax service to customers with lower amounts of income, nobody in their right economic mind would bash it. It's like saying "Walmart is a piece of shit' because it is a low-cost provider. News flash, walmart has a market segment of over 60 billion in capital. H&R block picked up a low-cost provider niche market and successfully picked itself as one of the market leaders in this segment. Of course, ignorant morons wouldn't know that because you have nothing but grease in your brain. Going to stop responding now as I realize you must have a negative IQ.
To my knowledge you are not exempt from any tax payments no matter what age. This one I'm a little shaky about but to my recollection, if you're being paid via check taxes are already deducted. Tax payments are not based on age to my knowledge, but rather level of income. However, there is technically no level of income where the bracket of taxes is 0%. The lowest tax paid is a 10% bracket. with that being said, you are already supposed to be paying taxes, and if you receive checks from your employers, the tax is already deducted from your check (or should be). If however, you are making under the table moankly it is not reported and with low doses of income you SHOULD (though completely illegal) be fine not reporting any taxes at all. I do believe there are several tax refunds you will be eligible for though however, which should more or less get you any money you pay, back in the form of tax refunds. While I have a decent knowledge of tax, I don't specifically know every tax refund that you can get, but I'm sure there's atleast one, and to my knowledge, most workers not yet 18 years are older can more or less get back all the money t've paid in taxes.

Farmers, and ma and pop businesses.
rk at some other job. If they work hard enough, they can make a business succeed still. Some things like groceries obviously can't compete with a super store, but at the same time, people who are buying from walmart save money. Those ma and pa businesses are no longer charging 2 dollars extra over walmart, and so those consumers, over time can now save more money than if they bought from other businesses.
rk at Wal-Mart because then you're just retarded as fuck.Supra wrote:Go and do your research and you'll see for yourself what Wal-Mart actually is you big ignorant fucking moron. If you keep digging you'll go.d out that Wal-Mart buys out farmers and makes them sell their produce at lower prices, if people say no to Wal-Mart they will literally buy everything else around them and take them out of business. So you're also saying that those business closing down because of Wal-Mart is good for the economy? Find out how many businesses Wal-Mart has put out of business and you'll see how many jobs that's taken away. Bringing up the unemployment rate. And don't say they can all grk at Wal-Mart because then you're just retarded as fuck.

The large unemployment rate was due to the market crashing. It has very little to do with walmart. However many jobs walmart takes away, it also employs a large amount of people too. Does it employ as many people as jobs it takes? Probably not, but in the long-run that simply means that people working these jobs are better suited tFind out how many businesses Wal-Mart has put out of business and you'll see how many jobs that's taken away.

Sinza_ wrote:Besides, while I have nothing against free enterprise and the growth of business, I don't agree with breaking the law with unethical treatment of workers and unfair pay (*cough* Walmart *cough*). Nor can I agree with tactics that only benefit their bottom line, but ruin communities in the process. Furthermore, by using illegal methods of coercion, Walmart continues to drive down manufacturers profit margins, and in many cases, putting the supplier out of business.
Sinza_ wrote:While I agree with what you say about the press, I still believe that Walmart, in particular, has ergrarious business practices, such as a special division in their HQ devoted to breaking up unions, and training managers how to delete overtime from the computers.
Supra wrote:Go fuck yourself accountant. I might not know as much about economics as you, but I know damn well enough. And its funny that you keep mentioning ill be a dirtball grease monkey. Seemming as how I work for an aerospace company and I'm majoring in mechanical/aerosace engineering. That has nothing to do with that, ill be making new ideas for making pure carbon, if you can even fathom how to turn acrylic nitrate into 100% pure carbon with the use of natural gases. You're an accountant you study something completly different than I do. It's funny how you call it a slaughter. My point is you're an idiot ass hole, and I would just have this thread locked lol. It's all flaming. And ill even take the infraction I probably deserve. But you're a douchebag.. If you guys really need accounting questions google them. Or call your local accountant. It's better than talking to this asshole account. Have fun with your slaughter. I'm out.
Supra wrote:Go do some research to see what Walmart really is
PrincessFluttershy wrote:Why did you even come back? Yes, I can fathom turning acrylic nitrate into pure carbon. Do I understand it? Fuck no. But funny you didn't mention anything about aerospace before. Could it be that you're trying to make up more stories so that people think that you aren't fucking stupid? Tough luck it's not going to happen. As a reminder:
You're the one who challenged MY knowledge of accounting. This was a normal and serious thread until your very first post which showed you the conceptual IQ of a neanderthal and the economic IQ of fox new's reporters (FYI, that is below 0, in case your natural neanderthal IQ didn't understand the reference). It's a slaughter precisely BECAUSE you don't understand economics or accounting, so it's just a one-sided argument about you telling me to look up things because the man is evil, and I'm telling you that the man, is doing what any other man or woman would do. I'm not really that much of an asshole, your stupidity just annoys everyone on this forum. Quit trying to get my thread locked because you're sucking on your thumb crying and wishing you'd never gotten into an argument. You know nothing about accounting or economics, so shut the fuck up. I know nothing about your department, but I never actually claime
Cry more about people being assholes. Maybe your little hippy family will give you some LSD and it'll make you feel better. Worst case scenario, you commit suicide and life goes on with no one really caring.
P.S. Some people aren't smart enough to google answers on their own, namely you.
Why don't you? I already did.
