This document discusses the statement of cash flows, including its basic elements, structure, and how to develop it using both the direct and indirect methods. It covers cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. It also discusses how the statement of cash flows can be used to calculate financial ratios and evaluate a firm's liquidity, ability to pay debts, cover dividends, and make capital expenditures.
This document discusses key concepts related to short-term assets and liquidity, including current assets, the operating cycle, cash, marketable securities, receivables, inventories, and liquidity metrics like days' sales in receivables and inventory turnover.

The document discusses liquidity ratios, which measure a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. It defines two key liquidity ratios: the current ratio, which measures a company's ability to pay off current liabilities with its current assets, and the acid-test ratio, which provides a more stringent measure by excluding less liquid current assets like inventory from the calculation. Both ratios compare current assets to current liabilities, with the current ratio intended to measure basic short-term debt paying ability and the acid-test ratio intended to measure immediate liquidity.
The document discusses key concepts related to the income statement, including its purpose and components. It defines items that appear on the income statement such as net sales, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and other income/expense. It also covers special income statement items, earnings per share, retained earnings, dividends, stock dividends, stock splits, and comprehensive income.
The document discusses various topics related to financial statement analysis using ratios, including:
- Types of ratios that measure liquidity, borrowing capacity, profitability, and cash flow
- How ratios should be interpreted by comparing to prior periods, competitors, industry standards, and analyzing trends
- Considerations for analysis such as accounting principles, business practices, and industry variations
- Tools for comparisons including trend analysis, SIC and NAICS industry classifications, and industry average data sources

This document discusses how banks create money through the fractional reserve banking system. It explains that when the Federal Reserve provides fresh reserves to banks, for example through purchasing a government bond, this increases the banks' excess reserves which they can then lend out. Each new loan creates new deposits, 10% of which must be held as reserves, with the remainder available for new lending. This allows the money supply in the economy to multiply up to 10 times the original injection of reserves through repeated lending. The document provides examples of banks' balance sheets at each step of this money creation process.
This document discusses banking and the money supply. It begins by asking several questions about how banks create money and why banking is important. It then defines different money aggregates (M1 and M2) and describes what types of assets and liabilities are included in each measure. The document also discusses how banks work as financial intermediaries, taking in deposits and issuing loans, and how they aim to balance liquidity and profitability. It provides examples of bank balance sheets and reserve requirements. Overall, the document provides an overview of key concepts regarding how banks operate and influence the money supply.
This document discusses money markets and various money market securities. It begins by defining money market securities as debt securities with maturities of one year or less. It then profiles the key characteristics of popular money market instruments including Treasury bills, commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, federal funds, and banker's acceptances.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
