calendar year

Examples of calendar year in the following topics:

• Financial Statements Across Periods

  • The income statement (also called the "profit and loss statement"): This gives an account of what the company sold and spent in the year.
  • The income statement summarizes all this type of activity for the year.
  • A company may report its financials in a fiscal year that is different from the calendar year.
  • While some firms do follow the calendar year, others--such as retail companies--prefer not to follow the calendar year due to seasonality of sales or expenses, et cetera.
  • According to SEC regulations, companies have to file an extensive report (called the 10K) on what happened during the year.

• Defining the Balance Sheet

  • Assets, liabilities, and ownership equity are listed as of a specific date, such as the end of the company's financial year.
  • Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time of a business' calendar year.

• Identifying Your Heavy Hitters in Technology

  • First, here's part of an Associated Press article I read a few years ago:
  • Police evacuated the complex, contacted the 43-year old man by telephone and got him to come out.
  • A variation of this proposal would be to create a computer calendar which includes technological tips as part of its monthly graphics.
  • A daily calendar could also fit the bill.
  • Every year, run a competition.

• Introduction

  • You have lots on your mind and your calendar.
  • I've administered some large organizations, supervised several hundred people, and founded a business of my own in the last 20 years.

• Productivity Gains from Software

  • Users can link their calendars, and work on documents, spreadsheets, or presentations simultaneously and in real time.

• Planning and Decisions

• Trends in Franchises: Growth

  • Franchising grew greatly in 2001 to 2005, before stagnating and following the growth trend of the rest of the economy in the years that followed.
  • The International Franchise Association reported that 2012 would be the year that franchising rebounds.
  • In its Franchise Business Economic Outlook for 2012, the IFA stated, "after three years of restrained growth, due to the recession and its lingering effects, franchise businesses show signs of recovery in the year ahead. " The IFA went on to state that "franchise business growth has been restrained over the past three years due to underlying factors, such as the weak rebound in consumer spending, that have been a drag on the economy as a whole.
  • And if that is the case, then the growth rate that was experienced in the years leading up to the Great Recession cannot be the benchmark for growth in the next decade.
  • But as stated above, the one constant with the economic outlooks produced by the IFA over the last four years is that each year the reports change many of the figures stated in the report of the previous year.

• Fix an existing building first

  • For example, the American National Audubon Society upgraded a 100-year-old 9,104 m2 building in 1992 at a cost roughly 27% below that of building from scratch (all costs were recouped within five years).

• Introduction to Macro Advantages of Micro-power

  • In 2009, the world consumed 86 million barrels of oil a day (up from 78 million barrels in 2002) and every year consumption increases.
  • Between 1995 and 2004, for example, demand grew by 3.9 million barrels per year in the USA alone (currently, America consumes 25% of the world's oil production).
  • ‘An oil crisis is coming in the next 10 years,' he says, ‘it's not a matter of supply.
  • The 4,924 m2 elementary school in Spirit Lake, Iowa, for example, installed a 250 kilowatt wind turbine that provides an average of 350,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
  • Excess electricity, which can be fed into the local utility system, earned the school $25,000 in its first five years of operation.

• Introduction to Motors and Pumps

  • (Hawken, Paul, Lovins, Amory, and Lovins, Hunter, Natural Capitalism) A new electric motor purchased for $1,500, for example, can cost as much as $13,000 a year to run and a typical 100 horsepower AC induction motor purchased for $5,000 will use as much as $35,000 worth of electricity in a year.
  • Compare these figures to an older model 100 horsepower motor running continuously at full load (as many motors are designed to do), which can cost $70,000 a year to operate – or an older 20 horsepower motor, which can consume up to $14,000 worth of electricity annually.
  • Even if diesel prices were to fall to $0.85 for 3.78 litres, a 75 horsepower motor would still cost $6,400 a year to operate.
