Price reflects the value sacrificed for the acquisition of an item at the moment of purchase; therefore price paid is a historical fact and does not necessarily reflect the value of the item after the transaction, since this may change. Value changes when supply or demand changes. If the value of an asset that was acquired at a specific cost changes in the course of time, the accounting records will no longer reflect its value.When recording accounting transactions at historical cost it is assumed, by implication, that prices remain stable.

Our doctors and therapists warn that stress is the cause of many illnesses and reduces the quality of sleep, relationships and well being. Yet, how can you reduce stress without shirking your duties and responsibilities? Everyone dreams of running away to a French chateau as they are driving the carpool in heavy traffic. However, usually we do not need to change our lives drastically to make substantial improvements to our health and happiness. Here are six steps for type A personalities and overworked moms to use to reduce stress in their minds and thei
However, before you bite, make sure to look “under the hood” of that company. Sure, the salary might look nice, but make sure to pore over their benefits package before signing on. A lucrative package can be worth thousands more to you in the long run than just your salary. Meanwhile, a healthy pay rate with shoddy benefits could cost you dearly.
Generally speaking
Start by talking about generalities. Do you have to sign up for the entire package or can you pick and choose your benefits? Who’s covered? Is there a monthly fee? When do benefits kick in? Are they taxable? All questions you should ask before signing up for anything.
Medical, Dental & Vision
These are undoubtedly the biggest features of a benefits package, as they can save you thousands in medical care. For medical, weigh your options carefully. Find out what types of plans are offered (indemnity, managed care), who will be covered, what your premiums, deductibles and co-pays will be, and if there are any exclusions. For dental, learn if the plan covers preventative, surgical and orthodontic care and to what extent. When looking at vision care, find out exactly what the plan covers and what the maximums are. Vision care might not be a big deal to you now, but down the road you’ll probably need it.
Life & Disability
Life insurance probably isn’t a top priority for you, and it shouldn’t be. But in case something should happen to you and you have a family to care for, life insurance is an excellent benefit to have. If you can get a good rate—some employers even offer a set amount for free—look hard into signing up. As far as accidental death and business travel insurance, if they offer it free of charge, why not?

Dealing with Office Distractions, Part TwoUnnecessary WorkUnnecessary work is a silent productivity killer in the office environment. By unnecessary I don't mean that the work should never be done, but rather more important work should take precedent. These tasks are the small things, the "zero" time activities that can consume your work day if left unchecked. Some examples that come to mind include dealing with email, attending meetings and battling with common office applications.There are three simple things that you

Vacation, Holidays & Time off
Take a look at what the employer offers first-year employees for vacation time. Many times it’s little to nothing. Find out how you can accrue vacation time, the maximum you can have, and if you can cash in unused days. Look into the company’s paid holiday schedule. There should be at least six, and anything above that is to be considered a bonus. Also find out if they offer “floating” holidays. As far as sick or personal days, look into how many you get per calendar year and if you can use them for vacation time as well.
Retirement
Most employers offer 401(k) retirement plans. Check to see how much of your contribution the company will match a percentage of and when you will be vested in that money. If you’re lucky, the company will also offer a pension plan, though these are becoming endangered. A pension plan is where a company will put money into a retirement account, with no contributions from you. You’ll surely have to work a set amount of time to receive any pension dollars, but it’s an excellent benefit if you can get it.
Stock Options & Profit Sharing
If you’re being wooed by a publicly traded company, chances are they’ll offer you their stock. They’ll sell it to you at a discount of 10 to 15 percent with no broker fees. This is huge. Often times you’ll be able to sell or reinvest your dividends without incurring a commission fee. It’s a fabulous benefit and one you should definitely take advantage of. Often times a company will reward their employees through profit sharing plans. It’s not guaranteed every year, and the amount fluctuates, but hey, it’s free money.
