Download or read book Value and Profit written by Geoffrey Whittington and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement methods used in financial accounting affect our perception of the value and performance of businesses by determining the amount of reported profit or loss and the resources of the business. Thus, measurement affects shareholders and other stakeholders in the business. It has even been suggested that the world financial crisis of 2007–2010 was partly due to the mis-measurement of financial instruments. In this book, Geoffrey Whittington provides a unique survey of the theory and practice of measurement in financial accounts. It seeks to define and illustrate alternative methods, using simple numerical examples, and to analyse their theoretical properties. Also, it summarises extensive empirical evidence and the historical development of ideas and practice. It is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying financial accounting, as well as practitioners and policy-makers concerned with accounting standards.

Download or read book Ecological Diversity and Its Measurement written by Anne E. Magurran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although diversity is one of the central themes of ecology there is considerable disagreement ab out how it should be measured. I first encountered this problem 10 ycars ago whcn I started my research career and spent a long time pouring ovcr the literature in order to find the most useful techniques. The intervening decade has seen a further increasc in the number ofpapers devoted to the topic of ecological diversity but has led to no consensus on how it should be measured. My aim in writing this book is therefore to provide a practical guide to ecological diversity and its measurement. In a quantitative subject such as the measurement of diversity it is inevitable that some mathematics are involved, but at all times these are kept as simple as possible, and the emphasis is constantly on ecological reality and practical application. I hope that others ente ring thc fascinating ficld of ecological diversity will find it hclpful. This book grew out of my work in The School of Biological and Environmental Studies at the New University ofUlster, Coleraine, Northern Ircland. I am indebted to all the ecologists there for pro vi ding a stimulating atmosphere. Foremost among these were Amyan Macfadyen and Palmer Newbould. A number of the figures and tables in the book are based on data collected in Northern Irish woodlands.

Download or read book Value and Its Measurement written by David I. Green and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Value and Its Measurement: A Dissertation Malthus, like Adam Smith, looked upon exchange value as a token of' subjective estimation, and sought for a standard by which the value of commodity (e. G. The monetary unit) at different times and places could be measured and compared. The command over labor, of which the ordinary agricultural labor should 'be the unit, was considered the most exact standard. Ricardo, on the other hand, disregarded the subjective nature of value and directed his efforts to the explanation of the relative values of commodities. On the ground that commodi ties tend to exchange on the basis of the amounts of labor which they embody, Ricardo took the labor necessary for the production of a commodity as the foundation and therefore the measure of its value. Just what Ricardo meant by measure of value is by no means clear; but his position toward the value problem prevailed among English economists, and soon led to the ratio concept as set forth by Mill and his followers, who declared values to be entirely relative to each other, and a general rise or a general fall in values, therefore, to be logically impossible. To speak Simply of the value of an ounce of gold, says Jevons, is as absurd as to speak of the ratio of the number seventeen. Mill seems to have been more acute than the most of his followers when from his definition of value he deduces2 the fact that a measure of exchange value is impossible.
