I'm sure it's already costing the Big Three Detroit automakers some sales," said Tony Faria, director of the office of automotive research at the University of Windor's Odette School of Business, referring to the uncertainty that's clouding the industry. "Right now, you can buy a car -- or a truck for that matter -- cheaper than you could 10 years ago," said Bruce Giesbrecht, president of the Manitoba Motor Dealers Association. "It's a buyer's market whether you're in automobiles, land or stocks. Do your homework. "What we would advise all consumers to do is to try to do the best research you can before you make a decision to purchase -- especially a big-ticket item or to enter into any contract or lease that involves a lot of money," says [Nancy Anderson], director of the provincial ...

The life cycle costing analysis takes four key cost components into account to determine the lowest total cost of design alternatives. It's a well established economic analysis that takes a component by component ap-. proach to the initial cost, maintenance costs, energy costs and replacement or renewal costs of the equipment over the life of the building. The analysis is rigorous, taking into account the time value of money and inflation to develop a net present value for the total cost of the components over their entire life cycle. This tool is closely related to life cycle costing and they often work together. Unlike life cycle costing, value engineering goes beyond purely financial analysis and assesses the design, including materials, equipment and functional requirements. The int...

[Chuck Fossay] is able to truck his grain to the Agricore United terminal in Starbuck and it will be picked up by CP trains. But the grain backlog at the West Coast ports caused by the CN strike, and bad weather before that, is costing the industry millions of dollars a day. We've had three years of fairly low prices, but the market started to rally late last year," he said. "But with ships lining up waiting to load in the Vancouver harbour and with only so many rail cars to get the grain to port, there are going to be charges and I'm going to feel it in reduced final payments. "If we were starting at a point of good service, the strike would be difficult but it would be manageable," said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association. "But service was a...

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, allowances for wastage and shrinkage, and elements of rudimentary standard costing. Our findings provide evidence of the existen...

The purpose of this article is to review the complexities associated with real property asset management. The process begins with understanding the need and the owner's objectives, planning, moving through the acquisition phase, the operation and maintenance phase, the refurbishment and enhancement phase, and, finally, the disposition of the asset. The article also explores the importance of having strategic professional staff oversee asset management on behalf of the ownership. Asset management can be defined as the process of creating value within the owner's objectives through the acquisition, use and disposal of real property assets. Alternatively, asset management is defined as the practice of maximizing the value of a portfolio of properties, within the objectives of the owner. Th...

While everyone's grocery bill is a little different, research recently commissioned by Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has shown it's costing an average of 3.2 per cent more to put the same food into the grocery cart as it did last year. The annual food survey is based on Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating for two adults, a teenager, and a child. This year, the survey found the total food cost (before taxes) was $194.23, which is up from $188.22 in 2008. There were some striking differences between the farmers' share for the different food groups. Grain products returned a paltry five per cent to the producer, while dairy products returned as much as 53 per cent. About 25 per cent of the cost of fruits and vegetables goes to the farmer, while 22 per cent of meat purchases finds...
