Federal Publications

Owing to the lack of specific information in regard to accounting in farmers' creameries, it has been necessary in the past for each secretary, using whatever knowledge of commercial accounting he possessed, to devise a system which in his opinion would best suit the specific requirements of the business, the essential forms being selected from the many which have been placed upon the market by publishing houses catering to the creamery trade. No uniform system was available which could be applied to the needs of practically all country creameries; hence, systems of accounting are practically as numerous as creameries. A …

Cost Accounting For Oil Producers, Clarence Grover Smith, United States. Bureau Of Mines

Federal Publications

Prior to the actual development of an oil property it is difficult to determine the quantity of oil under the property and the rate at which this oil can be brought to the surface factors that determine the ultimate value of the property.

Uniform Contracts And Cost Accounting Definitions And Methods: Recommendations By Interdepartmental Conference Consisting Of Delegates From The Departments Of War, Navy, And Commerce, The Federal Trade Commission, And The Council Of National Defense. July, 1917., United States. Department Of Commerce.

Federal Publications

These recommendations are intended to suggest to contracting officers some of the broad legal and equitable points involved in war contracts, and to express the preference of the conference for a straight purchase-and-sale contract at a fixed price, since it is simpler in terms, easier to work under, and generally speaking, productive of better and quicker results. The British Government, after several years' experience, has discarded the cost-plus contract plan and adopted the straight purchase-and-sale contract in every instance possible. It is not proposed to go into the large question of policy involved in attempting to prevent demoralization of markets …

Uniform Accounting: A Tentative Proposal Submitted By The Federal Reserve Board, United States. Federal Reserve Board
