Given the bank notes are printed by the government and given evenly among the banks at no interest. The amount of money would stay constant.

What do you think about this model? Would this work? If you think it wouldn’t, give reasons.

How do asset impairments effect the cash flow statement?

Posted by bank on December 11th, 2009
If land or houses built and in inventory are impaired and “written down” to mkt value which reduces profit on the P&L as an expense or charge, why does this figure end up as an increase on the cash flow statement?

Its a non-cash event is it not? Example: if you write down the value of land and a house (you’re a builder) for $50,000 due to fallen prices, why does this $50,000 charge end up as an increase to the cash account and improve the cash flow statement?

Obviously, I’m not an accountant and this seems very counter intuitive. If what I described is correct, you do not have an additional $50,000 in your bank account to spend.

Why do the bank drive up ATM’s have instruction in braille on them?

Posted by bank on December 6th, 2009
Seems odd to have instructions in braille on an ATM, because if the person is blind, they cannot obtain a license or drive a vehicle. What is the purpose behind this?

How to provide a check in Sterling drawn on a British bank short of opening my own account?

anza_1 asked:


I may have a need to provide payment to a British company. Their requirement is that I pay them in Pounds with a check drawn from a British bank. This will be a one time event, so I’d prefer to not go through the onnerous task of opening a bank account as a US resident with a British bank to just make this one transaction.
