The Perceived Effects Of Increased Fuel Prices, Sean O'Roark

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

This project, “Perceptions About the Causes and Effects of Increasing Fuel Prices,” seeks to understand the attitudes of major newspaper editorials concerning the increase of fuel prices. A content analysis of various newspaper editorials from the New York Times, Washington Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post was conducted to gain an understanding of the attitudes and predictions these writers put forth concerning the increase in the price of fuel. Some of the areas this study focused on included what the writer’s attitude was, what were the attributions of and consequences of increased prices, and what was the main …

Capital Gains, Dividends, And Taxes: Market Reactions To Tax Changes, Mark Foster, Larry White, Michael T. Young Jan 2007

Capital Gains, Dividends, And Taxes: Market Reactions To Tax Changes, Mark Foster, Larry White, Michael T. Young

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a capital gains tax reduction on the stock price of firms that have not historically paid a dividend. If markets are semi-strong-form efficient, one would expect that the market price would have already adjusted prior to the day the announcement was made, assuming no new information was included in the announcement. If markets have not already incorporated the information, there would be a possibility for abnormal returns from investing in the stocks on the date of the announcement. This paper studies the returns from companies prior to, and subsequent …

End Of Betterment Accounting: A Study Of The Economic, Professional, And Regulatory Factors That Fostered Standards Convergence In The U.S. Railroad Industry, 1955-1983, Jan Richard Heier, A. Lee Gurley Jan 2007

End Of Betterment Accounting: A Study Of The Economic, Professional, And Regulatory Factors That Fostered Standards Convergence In The U.S. Railroad Industry, 1955-1983, Jan Richard Heier, A. Lee Gurley

Accounting Historians Journal

On January 26, 1983, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) announced that it would require all railroads under its regulatory jurisdiction to change from Retirement-Replacement-Betterment (RRB) accounting, to a more theoretically sound depreciation accounting for matching revenues and expenses. The change was needed because RRB did not allow for the recapture of track investment, leaving the railroads with limited capital to replace aging track lines. Over the previous three decades, it had become painfully obvious to everyone that the industry's economic woes were the result of archaic accounting procedures that lacked harmony with the rest of American accounting standards, but the …


Early Cost Accounting Practices And Private Ownership: The Silk Factory Company Of Portugal, 1745-1747, Jose Matos Carvalho, Lucia Lima Rodrigues, Russell Craig Jan 2007

Early Cost Accounting Practices And Private Ownership: The Silk Factory Company Of Portugal, 1745-1747, Jose Matos Carvalho, Lucia Lima Rodrigues, Russell Craig

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper contributes to an understanding of the historical development of management accounting by presenting an example of cost accounting practice in Portugal in the first half of the 18th century. It explores the integration of cost and financial accounting systems within a double- entry accounting framework by the Silk Factory Company (SFC) between 1745 and 1747. The SFC's methods of product costing, pricing, inventory accounting, expense recognition, and production control are reviewed within the political, economic, and social context of Portugal at the time. The SFC is revealed to have used job-order product costing, with allocations of overhead costs, …


Printing Of Pacioli's Summa In 1494: How Many Copies Were Printed?, Alan Sangster Jan 2007

Printing Of Pacioli's Summa In 1494: How Many Copies Were Printed?, Alan Sangster

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper considers the printing of Pacioli's Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Summa) in 1494. In particular, it attempts to answer the question, how many copies of Summa were printed in 1494? It does so through consideration of the printing process, the printer of Summa, the size of the book, survival rates of other serious books of the period, and the dates it contains revealing when parts of it were completed. It finds that more copies were published than was previously suggested, and that the survival rate of copies has probably as much to do with the manner …

Accountants In The British Census, John Richard Edwards, Stephen P. Walker Jan 2007

Accountants In The British Census, John Richard Edwards, Stephen P. Walker

Accounting Historians Journal

Published reports on censuses of population and the surviving enumeration books on which they were based are key sources for accounting historians. The increasing availability of electronic versions of census enumeration books (CEBs) for Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. offers opportunities for better understanding the history of occupations concerned with the performance of accounting functions. However, census reports and original census documents must be interpreted critically. The paper reports on a study of accountants appearing in the transcribed version of the British CEBs for 1881. It is shown how the published census underreported the number of accountants in Britain …

Lyman Mills And Its Encounter With Public Accountants' Inventory Cost Circa 1920, Daijiro Fujimura Jan 2007

Lyman Mills And Its Encounter With Public Accountants' Inventory Cost Circa 1920, Daijiro Fujimura

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper addresses the schedule of cost of goods manufactured and the income statement of Lyman Mills (LM) for the year 1917. They were prepared by CPAs at the request of LM, based on the books of account and its accounting system dating from the 1850s. This system was described, but not perfectly enough, in Johnson and Kaplan's Relevance Lost [1987]. This paper compares the schedule of cost of goods manufactured and income statement prepared by CPAs with the accounts in LM's ledger summarizing its costs and performance. It leads to the conclusion that the traditional accounting system of LM …

Straw Men And Old Saws -- An Evidence-Based Response To Sy And Tinker's Critique, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd Jan 2007

Straw Men And Old Saws -- An Evidence-Based Response To Sy And Tinker's Critique, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd

Accounting Historians Journal

In a recent Accounting History article, Sy and Tinker (S&T) [2005] critique accounting history for its support of archivalism and empiricism in light of irrefutable arguments against these antiquarian epistemes. While tempted to lambaste S&T's article as unfettered social activism rather than evidence-based historical inquiry, we focus instead on the more substantive questions S&T raise. We initially summarize their essential arguments, although some of the statements they make are contradictory in nature. We then discuss fundamental issues and genuine challenges to accounting history posed by the post-Kuhnian critique that S&T and others represent, as well as the nature and purpose …
