Cost Accounting For A Shoe Manufacturing Corporation, Raymond J. Mularky

Bachelors’ Theses

In general, there are two broad divisions in which cost accounting systems can be placed, they are: the detailed and correct system, and the estimated system. In the modern shoe manufacturing industry, there seems to be only one system that can be used satisfactorily, and that is the estimated cost. Exceptions to this are where the shoe factory makes but one line or style of shoes. There are several reasons why a detailed cost system cannot be used in a shoe factory.

Bachelors’ Theses

Credit, in all its ramifications, is probably the most important, single factor in the commercial world today. Yet, in spite of its importance, few people stop to think what it means.

To quote Henry Dunning Macleod, the English lecturer and author, "What the steam engine is in mechanism, what the differential calculus is in mathematics, that is credit in commerce".

This latter is the par value. It is the less important. The stockholder can never collect, like the bondholder, the par value of his security from the corporation. Even though paid for in full and representing for a short time the full and actual value, the equality passes with the first business transaction, for …
