Описание: This book has been written to help readers understand the financial statements of "Corporate" entities, which refers to any industrial, manufacturing, non-financial services, retail or goods trading firm of whatever legal structure. Corporate financial analysis focuses on determining the firm's ability to generate sufficient cash flow to cover its operational and non-operational commitments as they fall due: This is generally a function of what is called the "asset conversion cycle", which can be predicted. In addition to cash flow analysis, assessment of a Corporate firm's leverage (level of borrowing), liquidity and profitability are important. However cash generative a company may be, if it is loss-making over the longer term, it will not remain in business unless externally supported. In other words, over the longer term, a firm needs to make more money than it expends, and must satisfy owners' / investors' need for good returns. Prolonged losses also make external financiers (e.g. banks) nervous, leading to a lower level of borrowing potential for the firm. The extensive information in this book can be used by analysts and would-be analysts of all skill-levels to assist in the decision-making process for investments; credit analytical purposes, or other similar reasons.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian recounts the tale of the unwanted president who ran afoul of Congress over Reconstruction and was nearly removed from office
Andrew Johnson never expected to be president. But just six weeks after becoming Abraham Lincoln's vice president, the events at Ford's Theatre thrust him into the nation's highest office.
Johnson faced a nearly impossible task--to succeed America's greatest chief executive, to bind the nation's wounds after the Civil War, and to work with a Congress controlled by the so-called Radical Republicans. Annette Gordon-Reed, one of America's leading historians of slavery, shows how ill-suited Johnson was for this daunting task. His vision of reconciliation abandoned the millions of former slaves (for whom he felt undisguised contempt) and antagonized congressional leaders, who tried to limit his powers and eventually impeached him.
The climax of Johnson's presidency was his trial in the Senate and his acquittal by a single vote, which Gordon-Reed recounts with drama and palpable tension. Despite his victory, Johnson's term in office was a crucial missed opportunity; he failed the country at a pivotal moment, leaving America with problems that we are still trying to solve.
