The Sovereign Debt Crisis is still ongoing having recently extended itself into calendar year 2013. By its very nature, a model of the recurrence of the business cycle affecting the market economy does not allow for a boom without a bust. However, of credit bubbles and financial crises, also cyclical phenomena, a financial crisis need not always follow a credit bubble though a credit bubble has always preceded a financial crisis. Robert Aliber writes, ‘the thesis of the book is that the cycle of manias and panics results from pro-cyclical changes in the supply of credit; the credit supply increases rapidly in good times, and then when economic growth slackens, the rate of growth of credit has often declined sharply” (p.13). Credit bubbles
The firm should change their accounting style and use product cost model so that the firm only capitalizes the revenues and cost when they sell a unit of bottled old turkey. Treating the warehousing and barrel costs as product cost would reflect on the income statement as now the third year projected losses can be transformed into profits allowing the president to make a stronger case in front of the local bank. Using product cost instead of period cost: assuming that we had 50,000 aging barrels in the base year. Cost of production/barrel = material cost + cost of new oak barrel + rental + direct cost = 100 + 75 + 20 + 50 = 245. | year 0| Year 1| Year 2| Year 3| Cost of production incurred during the period| 5,250,000| 5,540,000| 5,970,000| 6,540,000| Add beginning Work in progress inventory| 12,250,000| 12,250,000| 12,740,000| 13,720,000| Total cost of production accounted for| 17,500,000| 17,790,000| 18,710,000| 20,260,000| Less :ending work in progress inventory| 245 * 50000 =12,250,000| 245*52000 =12,740,000| 245*56000=13,720,000| 245*62000=15,190,000| Cost of production| 5,250,000| 5,050,000| 4,990,000| 5,070,000| Revenues| 6,000,000| 6,000,000| 6,000,000| 6,000,000| Net income before taxes| 750,000| 950,000| 1,010,000|
Debt to total assets, also known as simply debt ratio, is calculated by taking the total liabilities for the company divided by the total assets for the company; this information is found on the company’s balance sheet. This ratio determines the portion of debts a company has that are paid and financed through its debt. For Huffman Trucking the calculation would look like this for 2011: ($90,283+$71,365)/$267,265 = $161,648/$267,265 = 0.6048 or 60.48% (Huffman Trucking, 2013). Time interest earned, also known as interest coverage ratio, is calculated by taking the earnings before interest and tax and dividing it by interest expense; this information is found on the company’s income statement. This ratio determines the rate and ability in which the company is able to pay its debts off.

National Debt Crisis of the United States The national debt crisis of the United States is a crucial issue and of great concern to the economy. Each year, the debt amounts to a higher percentage of GDP. As we all know, the debt weighs down the economy, and the interest payments are consuming an ever larger share of the national budget. Something must be done to avert this crisis from coming to a realization. We need to begin today, by making spending cuts ACROSS THE BOARD.
We have exceeded our budget too many times and that has only added to the debt that we owe. All of these issues factor into the total number of the National debt making it climb very high. How can the National Debt really be reduced? There
Going by the contemporary crisis in the Medicare program of America, Bozic (2011) dictates that the solution to the crisis will demand increase in the tax margin on the employees. In addition, doctors and physicians are more likely to face salary cuts to allow proper budgeting of the program. Furthermore, the increase in demand for Medicare will have an automatic upward shift in the cost of insurance. There is a link between the positive effects of Medicare and the Economic effects of the system. The existing economic effects presented by the rise in demand for Medicare occurred because of the rise in the number of aged individuals.
