The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

16. Income Tax Example
Lisa Miller of Basket Wonders
(BW) is calculating the income tax
liability, marginal tax rate, and
liability rate
average tax rate for the fiscal year
ending December 31.
BW’s corporate taxable income for
this fiscal year was $250,000.
16
17. Income Tax Example
Income tax liability
= $22,250 + .39 x ($250,000 - $100,000)
$100,000
= $22,250 + $58,500
= $80,750
Marginal tax rate = 39%
Average tax rate = $80,750 / $250,000
= 32.3%
17
18. Depreciation
Depreciation represents the
systematic allocation of the cost of
a capital asset over a period of time
for financial reporting purposes, tax
purposes, or both.
Generally, profitable firms prefer to use
an accelerated method for tax
reporting purposes.
18
19. Common Types of
Depreciation
Straight-line (SL)
Accelerated Types
Double Declining Balance
(DDB)
Modified Accelerated Cost
Recovery System (MACRS)
19
20. Depreciation Example
Lisa Miller of Basket Wonders (BW) is
calculating the depreciation on a machine
with a depreciable basis of $100,000, a 6-
year useful life, and a 5-year property
life
class life.
She calculates the annual depreciation
charges using MACRS. [Note – ignore
“bonus” depreciation discussed in 2-25]
20
21. MACRS Example
Assets are depreciated based on one
of eight different property classes.
Generally, the half-year convention is
used.
Depreciation in any particular year is
the maximum of DDB or straight-line.
A switch in depreciation methods is
made from DDB to SL during the life
21
of the asset.
22. MACRS Example
Depreciation Depreciation Net Book

24. Jobs and Growth Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2003
Increase & Extension of Bonus Depreciation
• Increases a limited and additional
temporary depreciation deduction of 50%
in the first year -- subject to stipulations.
• Designed to enhance capital investment
by businesses.
24
25. Jobs and Growth Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2003
Increase & Extension of Bonus Depreciation
• Example:
Example
• $200,000 machine under 5-year MACRS property
class. Bonus = 50% of $200K = $100K.
• Remaining $100K ($200K - $100K bonus) at 20%
rate based on MACRS is $20K.
• Result is $120K ($100K + $20K) depreciation
charge in the first year.
• Set to expire soon, so will ignore in subsequent
25
problems (note – ignored in slide 2-20)
26. Other Tax Issues
Alternative Minimum Tax is a special tax
which equals 20% of alternative minimum
taxable income (generally not equal to
taxable income). Corporations pay the
maximum of AMT or regular tax liability.
Quarterly Tax Payments require
corporations to pay 25% of their
estimated annual tax liability on the 15th
of April, June, September, and December.
26
27. Interest Deductibility
Interest Expense is the interest paid on
outstanding debt and is tax deductible.
deductible
Cash Dividend is the cash distribution of
earnings to shareholders and is not a tax
deductible expense.
The after-tax cost of debt is:
(Interest Expense) X ( 1 - Tax Rate)
Thus, debt financing has a tax advantage!

27
28. Handling Corporate
Losses and Gains
Corporations that sustain a net
operating loss can carry that loss
back (Carryback) 2 years and forward
(Carryforward) 20 years to offset
Carryforward
operating gains in those years.
Losses are generally carried back
first and then forward starting with
the earliest year with operating gains.
28
29. Corporate Losses
and Gains Example
Lisa Miller is examining the impact of
an operating loss at Basket Wonders
(BW) in 2003. The following time line
shows operating income and losses.
What impact does the 2007 loss have
on BW?
2004 2005 2006 2007
$150,000 $150,000 $100,000 -$500,000
29
30. Corporate Losses
and Gains Example
The loss can offset the gain in each of the
years 2005 and 2006. The remaining $250,000
can be carried forward to 2008 or beyond.
Impact: Tax refund for federal taxes
paid in 2005 and 2006.
2004 2005 2006 2007
$150,000 $150,000 $100,000 -$500,000
-$150,000 -$100,000 $250,000
$150,000 0 0 -$250,000
30
31. Corporate Capital
Gains / Losses
Generally, the sale of a “capital asset”
(as defined by the IRS) generates a
capital gain (asset sells for more than
original cost) or capital loss (asset
sells for less than original cost).
Often historically, capital gains income
has received more favorable U.S. tax
treatment than operating income.
31
32. Corporate Capital
Gains / Losses
Currently, capital gains are taxed
at ordinary income tax rates for
corporations, or a maximum 35%.
Capital losses are deductible only
against capital gains.
gains
32
33. Personal Income Taxes
The U.S. has a progressive tax
structure with four tax brackets of 10%,
15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%.
15% 28% 33% 35%
Personal income taxes are determined
by taxable income, filing status, and
various credits.
Result is that low income individuals
pay no federal tax and others may
33 fluctuate between the marginal rates.
34. Financial Environment
Businesses interact continually with
the financial markets.
Financial Markets are composed of all
institutions and procedures for
bringing buyers and sellers of financial
instruments together.
The purpose of financial markets is to
efficiently allocate savings to ultimate
34 users.

41. Allocation of Funds
Funds will flow to economic units that are
willing to provide the greatest expected
return (holding risk constant).
In a rational world, the highest expected
returns will be offered only by those
economic units with the most promising
investment opportunities.
Result: Savings tend to be allocated to the
most efficient uses.

Inflation is a rise in the average
level of prices of goods and
services. The greater inflation
expectations, then the greater the
expected return.
