What is the definition of universal bank?
Thrift Bank A bank whose main purpose is to take deposits from consumers and make home mortgages. Above retrieved from Answers.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A thrift bank does just that - take deposits and lend to consumers; however, a Universal Bank does more than that. A Universal Bank combines commercial banking with investment banking. The Glass-Steagal Act (1920-something) prohibited the two from operating simultaneously under the same company - they had to be separate. The Modernization Act (1999) allowed different banks to merge and have a number of different banking activities under the same name. This is where holding companies came about (Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, etc). They offer retail banking (deposits), lending, brokerage services, M&A advisory, and underwriting (among others). Hope this helps.
Who are the famous Accountants in History?
1. John Grisham. While this red-hot novelist is well known for being a lawyer prior to his writing career, what is less well known is the fact that his first degree was in Accounting from Mississippi State University. It wasn't until later that he went to law school and watched a 12-year-old rape victim testify and inspire his first novel. 2. Kenny G. The famous soprano saxophone player graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Washington with a degree in accounting. Although he'd already been playing semi-professionally since high school, he wasn't sure he'd make in the music world so accounting seemed like a much safer bet. 3. Bob Newhart. This funny man got his first job out of the army working as an accountant in downtown Chicago. He claims to have invented his own system for balancing the petty cash-when the drawer was short, he replaced any missing money from his own pocket. When his boss accused him of not using sound accounting practices, he decided to try something else. Ironically, it was while he was working as an accountant that he began doing his famous telephone routines. 4. Gibby Haynes. It might be hard to believe, but this outrageous lead singer of the hot punk band The Butthole Surfers went to Trinity University and earned his degree in accounting. In fact, he was captain of the basketball team, president of his fraternity, and was voted Accounting Student of the Year. After graduating, he worked for over a year at an accounting firm before starting the band. 5. Tim DuBois. You might not know this name right off the bat, but he's known as The Singing Accountant. He's written many a hit country song, including "Love In The First Degree", "She Got the Goldmine, I Got The Shaft" and the Vince Gill hit "When I Call Your Name." While currently the head of Arista Records, he taught accounting at Owen University for many years. 6. Walter Diemer. Another name you might not recognize, he worked as an accountant for the Fleer Corporation in the 1920's. But in his spare time he tinkered with recipes until he invented a little something we know today as Bubble Gum. 7. J. P. Morgan. This famous financier and banker began his early career as an accountant on Wall Street. But after his father died and left him the family business, J.P. Morgan went on to become a banking and corporate pioneer. He began buying distressed businesses, in particular railroads, and merging them-a common business practice still today. 8. Walter L. Morgan. A name well known in the business world, Walter L. Morgan was a CPA-and is considered the father of the mutual fund industry. His fund-The Wellington Fund-became the flagship fund of the Vanguard Group, the second largest mutual fund company in the world. When he died in 2000 at the age of 102, he was the oldest living accountant and CPA. 9. Arthur Blank. Today best known for owning the Atlanta Falcons football team, he started his early career as an accountant. But he worked part-time in a hardware store and along with another employee went on to found Home Depot, the famous chain of hardware stores. This little company made him a billionaire-and his accounting know-how taught him how to spend it. 10. Josiah Wedgewood. Yes, that Wedgewood, the famous potter-he invented what we now call Cost Accounting. Thanks to a lucky combination of an embezzling clerk and a depression, Josiah was forced to come up with a system of tracking bottom line costs and profit. He used this system to determine the costs of his product, and was only one of hundreds of potters to survive the depression.
What is purchasing power parity?
The purchasing power parity (PPP) theory uses the long-term equilibrium exchange rate of two currencies to equalize their purchasing power. Developed by Gustav Cassel in 1920, it is based on the law of one price: the theory states that, in ideally efficient markets, identical goods should have only one price. This purchasing power SEM rate equalizes the purchasing power of different currencies in their home countries for a given basket of goods. Using a PPP basis is arguably more useful when comparing differences in living standards on the whole between nations because PPP takes into account the relative cost of livingand the inflation rates of different countries, rather than just a nominal gross domestic product (GDP) comparison. The best-known and most-used purchasing power parity exchange rate is the Geary-Khamis dollar (the "international dollar"). PPP exchange rates (the "real exchange rate") fluctuations are mostly due to market exchange rates movements. Aside from this volatility, consistent deviations of the market and PPP exchange rates are observed, for example (market exchange rate) prices of non-traded goods and services are usually lower where incomes are lower. (A U.S. dollar exchanged and spent in India will buy more haircuts than a dollar spent in the United States). PPP takes into account this lower cost of living and adjusts for it as though all income was spent locally. In other words, PPP is the amount of a certain basket of basic goods which can be bought in the given country with the money it produces. There can be marked differences between PPP and market exchange rates. [1] For example, the World Bank's World Development Indicators 2005 estimated that in 2003, one United States dollar was equivalent to about 1.8 Chinese yuan by purchasing power parity [2] - considerably different from the nominal exchange rate that put one dollar equal to 7.6 yuan. This discrepancy has large implications; for instance, GDP per capita in the People's Republic of China is about US$1,800 while on a PPP basis it is about US$7,204. This is frequently used to assert that China is the world's second-largest economy, but such a calculation would only be valid under the PPP theory. At the other extreme, Japan's nominal GDP per capita is around US$37,600, but its PPP figure is only US$30,615.
