Activity-Based vs Throughput Accounting
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper comparing activity-based and volume accounting. The throughput approach can provide a ballpark assessment of the costs of producing a specific product, but ABC can provide accurate cost figures of each of the steps of production. Volume accounting can be misleading in terms of identifying which products or activities are more profitable. ABC provides fuller, more accurate assessment of the true cost of activities, enabling the organization to focus on activities that truly are more profitable. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

ADA’s Effect on Small Business
[ send me this essay ]
A 23 page paper discussing the effect that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has had on small business in costs of compliance. The law originated with good intentions and originally exempted very small businesses from needing to comply in any but the very broadest terms. Since then, however, other “disabilities” such as obesity have gained official recognition as disabilities, and activist groups have sued small business owners to force them into compliance despite the costs and despite lack of complaints by disabled customers or workers. The paper argues that the ADA as it applies to small business is oppressive and imposes undue burden on small businesses. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
