#41 Effect of Light intensity on the rate of Photosynthesis
Plants need light energy to make the chemical energy needed to create carbohydrates. Increasing the light intensity will boost the speed of photosynthesis. However, at high light intensities the rate becomes constant. Experiment
Place a pond weed Elodea upside in a test tube containing water. Place the tube in a beaker of fresh water at 25°C. This helps to maintain a constant temperature around the pond weed. Place excess sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in the water to give a constant saturated solution of CO2. Place the lamp (the only light source) at distance from the plant. Count the number of oxygen bubbles given off by the plant in 1 minute period. This is the rate of photosynthesis at that particular light intensity. | https://biology-igcse.weebly.com/effect-of-light-intensity-on-the-rate-of-photosynthesis.html |

Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted to ATP and H+
At very low light levels the plant will be respiring only not photosynthesising. As the light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. However, the rate will not increase beyond a certain level of light intensity. At high light intensities the rate becomes constant, even with further increases in light intensity, there are no increases in the rate. The plant is unable to harvest the light at these high intensities and the chlorophyll system can be damaged by very intense light levels. References: skoool.ie

Content: As light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis will increase, until the plant is photosynthesising as fast as it can. At this point, even if light becomes brighter, the plant cannot photosynthesise any faster. Over the first part of the curve ( between A and B ), light is a limiting factor. The plant is limited in how fast it can photosynthesise because it does not have enough light. Between B and C, light is not a limiting factor. Even if more light is shone on the plant, it still cannot photosynthesise any faster. Carbon dioxide
In photosynthesis CO2 is a key limiting factor. The usual atmospheric level of CO2 is 0.03%. In perfect conditions of water availability, light and temperature this low CO2 level holds back the photosynthetic potential. The more CO2 a plant is given, the faster it can photosynthesise up to a point, but then a maximum is reach. | https://biology-igcse.weebly.com/limiting-factors-in-photosynthesis.html |

Short answer: Many of the evolutionary developments in plants developed in the sporophyte life stage. Because increased fitness of these increasingly sporophyte-"dominant" plants would result in a greater survival and reproductive success, these plants became more dominant than the more-limited gametophyte-dominant early plants. In other words, natural selection of the fittest plants (which happen to have sporophyte traits increasingly adapated for living on land) likely led to the dominance in the sporophyte life stage. Long Answer: I would suspect this is due to the evolutionary advantages that are associated with the sporophyte life stage in land plants. Multiple advantages developed in the sporophyte stage of plants as they evolved from simple gametophyte-dominant bryophyte ancestors to the vast array of much more successful and dominant ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Shift from gametophyte-dominated life cycle (in bryophytes) to sporophyte-dominated life cycle. Source: Cengage Learning (2016)
Evolutionary developments that have occurred across almost 500 million years in land plants include the development of stomata, true leaves, pollen and seeds, and flowers and fruits. | https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/50877/why-is-one-phase-of-a-plant-dominant-alternation-of-generation |

Evolutionary developments that have occurred across almost 500 million years in land plants include the development of stomata, true leaves, pollen and seeds, and flowers and fruits. Each of these developments occurred in the sporophyte life stage. Each of these evolutionary traits had significant effect on the success of the various plant types that possess them, as can be inferred from the increasing success and dominance of increasingly more evolved plant Divisions. Each of these sporophyte-focused evolutionary traits increased the reproductive success of plants (therefore swaying increasing advantage toward plants possessing increasingly sporophyte-dominant life cycles) due to their ability to increase plant size, growth, and success living in arid (i.e., terrestrial) environments. stomata allow for increased gas exchange with more limited water loss (note: these were necessary with the development of cuticles in sporophytes of early bryophytes as well)
vascular tissue 2 allow plants to grow taller/bigger/more complex while still receiving water and nutrients from the soil
true leaves allow for greater energy capture and growth (and therefore increased competitive advantages)
pollen and seeds allow for greater dispersal and removes/limits the constraints of aridity on fertilization
flowers and fruits increase pollination and seed dispersal
Reducing the gametophyte stage to small cells within larger sporophyte plants allows this otherwise water-necessary process to occur in the dry conditions of living on land. | https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/50877/why-is-one-phase-of-a-plant-dominant-alternation-of-generation |

Content: Thus the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity. High light intensities affect the rate of photosynthesis. It increases the temperature of the leaves. Therefore, rate of transpiration increases. The stomata are closed. It stops the . entry of CO 2. Thus photosynthesis is stopped. Light also cause photorespiration. Photorespiration reduces the yield. | https://biologyboom.com/factors-affecting-photosynthesis/ |

Content: While the digestive organs and assessor organs are located within the peritoneum, the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder are located outsider of the peritoneum, and thus, are considered by some scientists to be pelvic organs. Digestive Tract
The organs of the digestive tract consist of the small and large intestines, the stomach, cecum, and the appendix. The stomach is located between the esophagus and the small intestine in the upper left region of the abdomen. The stomach is responsible for the secretion of digestive enzymes and gastric acid required to digest food products. The small intestine is situated between the stomach and large intestine and consists of the three segments (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), each exhibiting distinct functional properties. The duodenum is situated around the top of the pancreas and receives the digested stomach contents known as gastric chyme. The duodenum functions to neutralize the acid contained in the gastric chyme, as well as break down proteins and fat via enzymes and bile. The jejunum is the middle segment of the small intestine and is responsible for the absorption of sugar, amino acids, and fatty acids into the bloodstream. The final segment of the small intestine is the ileum, which connects to the large intestine. The ileum is responsible for the absorption of vitamin B12, as well as any remaining nutrients. | https://biologydictionary.net/abdomen/ |

Content: Kingdoms,” a way of organizing life forms based on their cell structure, traditionally included Animalia, Planitia, Fungi, Protista (for single-celled eukaryotes), and Monera (which was once considered to hold all forms of prokaryotes). However, genetic and biochemical studies of bacteria soon showed that one class of prokaryotes was very different from “modern” bacteria, and indeed from all other modern life forms. Eventually named “archaebacteria” from “archae” for “ancient,” these unique cells are thought to be modern descendants of a very ancient lineage of bacteria that evolved around sulfur-rich deep sea vents. Sophisticated genetic and biochemical analysis has led to a new “phylogenetic tree of life,” which makes use of the concept of “domains” to describe divisions of life that are bigger and more basic than that of “kingdom.” The most modern version of this system shows all eukaryotes – animals, plants, fungi, and protists – constituting the domain of “Eukaryota,” while the more common and modern branching of bacteria constitutes “Prokarya,” and archaebacteria constitute their own domain altogether – the domain of “Archaea.” The discovery of Archaea and its unique differences is exciting for scientists, because it’s believed that archaebacteria’s unique biochemistry might give us insight into the workings of very ancient life. Some scientists propose that the archaebacteria Thermoplasma may in fact be ancestors of the nuclei of our own eukaryotic cells, which are believed to have developed through the process of endosymbiosis. Another remarkable trait of archaebacteria is their ability to survive in extreme environments, including very salty, very acidic, and very hot surroundings. Archaebacteria have been recorded surviving temperatures as high as 190° Fahrenheit, which is only twenty-two degrees shy of the boiling point of water, and acidities as high as 0.9 pH.
Archaebacteria have even challenged scientist’s ideas about how to define a species, since they practice a lot of horizontal gene transfer – where genes are transferred from one individual to another during their lifetimes – making it difficult to determine how closely different cells are related, or even if archaebacteria cells have the sort of stable combinations of traits that scientists typically use to define a species. The domain of Archaea include both aerobic and anaerobic species, and can be found living in common environments such as soil as well as in extreme environments. | https://biologydictionary.net/archaebacteria/ |

Content: It has a highly unique genome, consisting of roughly 26% proteins that are known to be found in other archaebacteria, 29% proteins that are known to be found in bacteria, 32% genes that do not correspond to any known protein, and – 3.3% genes that correspond to those only found in eukaryotes. The eukaryotic genes are particularly exciting for scientists, because they are genes that appear to code for proteins that eukaryotes use to actively control the shape of their cell, including proteins for cytoskeletons, the motor protein actin, and several proteins that in eukaryotes are involved in changing cell membrane shape. Some of these genes are involved in phagocytosis, which is exciting because the process of phagocytosis could have been used by eukaryotic ancestors to “swallow” other cells – which may have gone on to become endosymbiotes, leading to the endosymbiotic relationships between eukaryotic cells and their mitochondria, chloroplasts, and nuclei. Lokiarchaeota’s unique genome makes it possibly our closest relative among prokaryotes, and possibly a transitional form in the extremely important jump from prokaryotic to eukaryotic life, which made the evolution of the animal, plant, fungi, and protist kingdoms possible. Scientists think that Lokiarchaeota and ourselves probably shared a common ancestor around 2 billion years ago. It is unknown whether this means that eukaryotes likely evolved around deep sea vents, or whether Lokiarchaeota’s relatives may once have been common in other environments before they were outcompeted and driven to extinction by their more advanced descendants, the eukaryotes. Methanobrevibacter Smithii
Methanobrevibacter smithii is a methane-producing archaebacteria that lives in the human gut. This member of Euryarchaeota helps us to break down complex plant sugars and extract extra energy from the food we eat. The microorganisms in our guts – including members of Euryarchaeota – also have a complex relationship with our health.

Content: the mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Bryophyte Characteristics
The following characteristics are exhibited by bryophytes: Bryophytes are non-vascular land plants. Although they do exhibit specialized structures for water transportation, they are devoid of vascular tissue. Bryophytes grow primarily in damp environments but can be found growing in diverse habitats ranging from deserts, the artic, and high elevations. Since bryophytes do not depend on root structures for nutrient uptake like vascular plants, they are able to survive in environments that vascular plants cannot (e.g., on the surface of rocks). All bryophytes have a dominant gametophyte stage in their life cycle. During this stage, the plant is haploid and the sex organs that produce the gametes are developed. Bryophytes are unique compared to many other plant species in that they remain in this stage for long periods. The sporophytes (the diploid form of the plant) of bryophytes are unbranched, producing a single spore-producing capsule ( sporangium ). | https://biologydictionary.net/bryophyte/ |

The bryophyte lifecycle consists of alternating generations between the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte. During the gametophyte stage, haploid gametes (male and female) are formed in the specialized sex organs: the antheridia (male) and archegonia (female). The gametes consist of flagellated sperm, which swim via water or are transported by insect species. | https://biologydictionary.net/bryophyte/ |

As described above, the zygote of bryophytes grows inside the archegonia and will eventually become a diploid sporophyte. Mature sporophytes remain attached to the gametophyte and generate haploid spores via meiosis inside the sporangium. These spores are dispersed, and under favorable environmental conditions become new gametophytes. The lifecycle is shown below. | https://biologydictionary.net/bryophyte/ |

Its proteases are secreted in their inactive form and initially activated through a membrane-bound enzyme in the duodenum called enteropeptidase. A few molecules of an activated enzyme can then create a cascade of active proteases. The pancreas also secretes amylases that digest carbohydrates, and lipases, phospholipases and cholesterol esterases that are involved in fat digestion and metabolism.

Content: Since eubacteria are so common, this group comprises one of the three domains of life: Bacteria. Overview
Within the prokaryotic organisms, there are two main divisions: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. The Eubacteria are found in the domain Bacteria, while the archaebacteria are found in the domain Archaebacteria. Eubacteria have the typical characteristics of a prokaryotic organism, but they also have the ability to form spores and can be pathogenic organisms (i.e. cause disease in humans and animals). Eubacteria can reproduce through binary fission or budding, and often form large colonies that can create extracellular structures like “biofilms” that protect the colony in unique ways. Characteristics of Eubacteria
Eubacteria, or microorganisms lacking a defined membrane nucleus, have several general characteristics. As prokaryotes, they do not have any membrane-bound organelles. Most eubacteria are enclosed by a cellular wall, which is made up of peptidoglycans in a cross-linked chain pattern. | https://biologydictionary.net/eubacteria/ |

Content: there are 10 times more bacteria in the gut than there are human cells in the entire human body. Most of the bacteria in the human body are helpful, like gut bacteria, or harmless. However, some bacteria can infect humans and cause diseases such as cholera, syphilis, and tuberculosis. Archaea
Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that look very similar in size and shape to bacteria. The word archaea comes from the ancient Greek word ἀρχαῖα, which means “ancient things”. They were historically classified as bacteria, but have some characteristics that are more closely related to eukaryotes, such as certain genes and forms of metabolic pathways. Also, they were classified as the third domain of life because they have large differences in their ribosomal RNA structure from bacteria. Some archaea live in extreme conditions such as hot springs, but others are found in soil, oceans, and even the human body. There are between 18-23 phyla of archaea. Most archaea have never been isolated in the laboratory, and they are only known from their nucleic acids in environmental samples. | https://biologydictionary.net/prokaryote/ |

Content: While fructose can be structurally absorbed by cells via facilitated diffusion, glucose requires secondary active transport. Parts of the Small Intestine
The small intestine is further divided into three sections: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. The duodenum is the first and shortest section of the small intestine, which measures about fifteen inches long. It receives chyme (or, a mix of partially digested food particles that is mixed with bile) from our stomachs. The duodenum’s intestinal cells also secrete amylase, sucrase, and lipase enzymes that break down fats and sugars. The jejunum follows suit and is located near our belly buttons. The jejunum marks the end of our digestion of fats and carbohydrates. It is covered in villi and microvilli that make it the principal site of digestion. It is also a coiled structure that is thicker and has more blood vessels than the third and final section, the ileum. | https://biologydictionary.net/small-intestine/ |

Life Cycle of Bryophytes
Leave a Comment / Botany / By Supriya N
The life cycle of bryophytes has two alternations of generations, one is haploid gametophyte generation and the other is diploid saprophytic generation. In both the life cycle, the bryophytes possess different morphology and physiological functions. Between these two alternations of generation, the haploid gametophyte phase lasts longer or dominates the diploid saprophytic phase. Gametophytes (male and female gametes) are developed by the heterosporous (two types) bryophytes, where one kind of spore develops a male gametophyte, while the other develops a female gametophyte.

Meaning of Bryophytes
Bryophytes are the terrestrial, non-vascular plants that grow in damp or humid habitats and reproduce via spore generation instead from seed germination. Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts are the three common plants that come under the bryophyte group. There is one thing in common among the non vascular plants (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) that all possess small leaves, but lacks flowers, wood and true root system. In addition, the bryophytes possess dual generations (gametophytic and sporophytic phase) in their life cycle. Unlike vascular plants, bryophytes can survive in variety of habitats (rocks, roof , bare soil etc.) | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

Unlike vascular plants, bryophytes can survive in variety of habitats (rocks, roof , bare soil etc.) as these lack true roots for the water and nutrient absorption. Life Cycle
Bryophytes reproduce through both asexual and sexual life cycles. Asexual Reproduction
Certain bryophytes are only capable of asexual reproduction or cannot achieve fertilization, due to loss of functional sexuality. Asexual reproduction occurs vegetatively via small, reproductive structures gemmae that disperse easily. Gemmae comprise either a single cell or cluster of cells that are having undifferentiated growth. | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

Certain bryophytes are only capable of asexual reproduction or cannot achieve fertilization, due to loss of functional sexuality. Asexual reproduction occurs vegetatively via small, reproductive structures gemmae that disperse easily. Gemmae comprise either a single cell or cluster of cells that are having undifferentiated growth. A gemma can bring about the formation of a new vegetative structure or gametophyte when it dissociates from the parent plant body. Fragmentation is another way of asexual reproduction, by which bryophytes can regenerate via leaf and stem fragments. The mechanism of spore dispersal and fragmentation is aided by water, wind, and animal movement. Sexual Reproduction
Its life cycle exists two phases that are explained below: Gametophyte Stage

Its life cycle exists two phases that are explained below: Gametophyte Stage
This stage begins, when the dormant spores form a germ tube. The spores first develop a green, filiform complex called a protonema. A protonema goes through several maturation phases, after which it starts developing rhizoids and aerial filaments. Red light and kinetin stimulate the cells that promoting the growth of shoots, which later enlarge to modify into mature gametophytes. Then, the gametophytes develop a specialized reproductive structure ( gametangia) at the apex of main shoot that holds the gametes (eggs and sperms). The leafy gametophyte develops separate branches for the male gametangium ( antheridium) and the female gametangium ( archegonium ). | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

There is a unique feature, where both the gametangia of bryophytes are enclosed by a sterile layer of non-reproductive tissue that is absent in algal gametangia. Sporophyte Stage
This stage begins with the fusion of a biflagellate sperm with a single ovum inside the archegonium. After fusion, nuclear and cytoplasmic exchange occurs between anthreaoids and archegonia, resulting in the formation of the diploid zygote (2n), and the process is called fertilization. | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

A diploid zygote in the archegonium develops into a multicellular, diploid embryo by undergoing repeated mitotic divisions. An embryonic sporophyte highly relies on the gametophyte that provides nutrition sources like sugars and minerals etc. An embryonic sporophyte differentiates into three distinct structures, namely foot, stalk, and capsule.

A spore capsule appears as a tight cap ( calyptra) that comprises a layer of sterile protective cells around an embryonic sporophyte, at the opposite end of foot. A spore capsule encloses a sporangium sac that holds the heterospores, which function as sexual dispersal units. The spore-producing cells go through meiotic cell division to form spores (haploid). The spore formation occurs, when the foot cell uptakes the nutrients from the gametophyte, and then conducts it to the spore capsule via long stalk or seta. | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

A spore capsule comprises a layer of sterile cells, second layer of elaters that are hygroscopic or absorbs moisture from the surrounding. The hydrogroscopic movement of the cells within the spore capsule results in flicking of the spores upward and outward. Unfortunately, the spore capsule ruptures, as the spores attain maturity and move freely in the environment as dormant spores. The life cycle of bryophyte continues once the dormant spore starts germinating into protonema. Conclusion
Therefore, we can conclude that the gametophyte phase contains haploid cells that possess an unpaired number of chromosomes. | https://biologyreader.com/life-cycle-of-bryophytes.html |

Archaebacteria belong to a group of primitive prokaryotes that are able to live in an environment that is not suitable for any other living organism. They are found in extreme conditions of acidic, alkaline, salt marshes, and hot sulfur springs. Therefore, they are also called extremophiles, i.e., lover of extreme conditions. They are of different shapes, like spherical, spiral, and rodlike. They are different from bacteria as they have a different cell structure and cell membrane. Unlike bacteria, whose cell walls contain peptidoglycan, the cell walls of archaea do not contain peptidoglycan. Another difference between them is the fact that archaea can survive in conditions where most bacteria cannot. Archaebacteria are divided into three main subgroups, based on the extreme habitats they are found in. | https://biologywise.com/archaebacteria-examples |

Content: The cell wall is made up of glycoproteins and polysaccharides. The cell wall envelopes have a high resistance to antibiotics and lytic agents due to difference in cell wall composition. They have a very different lipid bi-layer making up the cell membranes. The RNA polymerase of archaea is very similar to that of eukaryotes. The ribosomal proteins in eukaryotes and archea are also similar to each other. Archaebacteria are about 1/10th of a µ meter to about 15 µ meter in size. A few are flagellated and the flagella structure is different from the flagella of other bacteria. The archaebacteria are non-pathogenic bacteria that live in and around other organisms. However, they do not cause any infections or diseases. Sub-groups of Archaebacteria

Archaebacteria are able to survive in extreme conditions and therefore also known as extremophiles. They can survive in conditions that are highly acidic, alkaline, saline aquatic environment. Some are even able to survive in temperatures above 100° Celsius or 212° Fahrenheit. Few can even withstand over 200 atmosphere pressure and live really deep within the earth. They employ different chemical reactions to be able to survive in these harsh conditions. | https://biologywise.com/archaebacteria-kingdom |

Characteristics
Content: However, they have been observed to be sensitive towards those chemicals/drugs that obstruct the lipid cycle involved in wall polymer biosynthesis. Archaebacteria reproduce by an asexual process known as binary fission. During this process, the bacterial DNA replicates. The cell wall pinches off in the center, due to which the organism is divided into two new cells. Each cell consists of a copy of circular DNA. Some species can multiply from one cell into two in as less time as 20 minutes. During transformation, DNA fragments released by one archaebacterium are taken up by another. In the process of transduction, a bacteriophage (a virus infecting bacterial cells) transfers genetic material from one organism to another. In the process of conjugation, genetic material is exchanged between two bacteria. These mechanisms lead to genetic recombination, causing the continued evolution of archaebacteria. | https://biologywise.com/characteristics-of-archaebacteria |

The interactions between archaebacteria and other life forms are either symbiotic or commensal as archaea are not known to pose pathogenic hazard to other organisms. A characteristic unique to archaea is the composition of their cell walls. The archaebacteria cell wall is made of pseudomurein, which is made up of a combination of N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. This kind of cell wall makes archaebacteria immune to the effects of Lysozyme, which is an enzyme produced by a host’s immune system to attack and disable cell walls of pathogenic bacteria. The discovery and study of archaebacteria has opened up a whole new possibility of finding life in the most extreme of environments – places where till now, it was thought, life could not exist. | https://biologywise.com/characteristics-of-archaebacteria |

3. Treating Nature Like a Slave
Content: Economist Hazel Henderson said, “The paradigm of sustainability, with its notions of limitations and carrying capacities, confronts dominant paradigms of progress, which do not recognize limits to unchecked growth.” As a result of that kind of thinking, nearly all of the dominant systems in place today are unsustainable: energy, food, agriculture, economy, education, etc. And if they are unsustainable, then by definition, they will fail. Eco-farmer Joel Salatin, who Michael Pollan writes about in Omnivore’s Dilemma, says, “Every paradigm exceeds its point of efficiency… only now has the industrial paradigm in agriculture come to the end of its workability. What happens is all these things we’re seeing — campylobacter, E-coli, mad cow, listeria, salmonella that weren’t even in the lexicon 30 years ago. [ They are proof of] the industrial paradigm exceeding its efficiency.” Social and economic systems mimic natural systems. Things in nature don’t expand forever. As an old system goes into decline the opportunity, space and resources become available for something new to grow. | https://bioneers.org/three-challenges-to-sustainability/ |

Content: That report, Logical Election Policy, remains relevant in spite of the upheaval in elections caused by COVID-19 and forms the foundation of the recommendations included in this report. The Task Force urges policymakers to consider the following recommendations to improve the vote counting process this election season: Remove excessive absentee ballot verification measures, such as requiring witnesses or a notary, to help make absentee voting accessible to all voters. States should instead rely on signature verification—a process already used by thirty-one states. Allow sufficient time for voters to cure deficiencies in vote-by-mail ballots, even if this period extends beyond Election Day. Request additional points of contact, such as a voter’s email address or cell phone number, during the voter registration and absentee ballot application process. This is especially important for jurisdictions which allow signature curing. This information should be exempt from public disclosure. Allow election officials to begin processing ballots at least seven days before Election Day. Note, however, election administrators should also be restricted from producing results until the polls have closed. | https://bipartisanpolicy.org/report/counting-the-vote-during-the-2020-election/ |

Allow election officials to begin processing ballots at least seven days before Election Day. Note, however, election administrators should also be restricted from producing results until the polls have closed. Rely on automated processes for unofficial results reporting to reduce the likelihood of human error when entering preliminary results into the jurisdiction’s centralized reporting system. Communicate any changes to results reporting processes—especially those relating to how potential errors will be addressed—to the public as soon as possible before the election takes place. Follow CDC guidelines for how to conduct safe, in-person voting on Election Day, and encourage voters to take advantage of early and vote-by-mail options. Consider new, socially distanced ways to distribute teams that conduct signature verification and canvassing. When necessary, larger jurisdictions with a bigger influx of mail ballots should consider renting facilities such as arenas in which the verification, account, and canvassing process can take place. | https://bipartisanpolicy.org/report/counting-the-vote-during-the-2020-election/ |

Content: Per his recent tweet, he certainly
“is not a fan of Bitcoin.” The argument for Trump “not” wanting to ban crypto is it will likely lose him votes while digital assets circumvent the banking system would be the reasoning for Trump wanting to ban crypto. This, have different implications in the form that crypto represents a threat to the banking system and we are already seeing the attempt to ban Facebook’s Libra. Crypto is often perceived as a facilitator in illegal activities as said so by Trump as well. Cryptos could also reduce Washington’s ability to impose economic sanctions, a tool to gain competitive advantage. Venezuela and Iran are the prime examples of creating their own crypto to avoid sanctions. 16/ TL;DR
– A Bitcoin ban in the US is feasible
– Ban could come via a Trump executive order
– Ban could be over-turned
– Probability of a ban is extremely low
– Probability increased last week
– Regulatory risk keeps many institutions away
– A ban would see $BTC crash rapidly pic.twitter.com/VEz5y58arL

Content: It should be noted that non-U.S. investors may have concerns over clearing licensing hurdles put up individually by the states. If the U.S. treats cryptocurrencies as currency, it seems more likely that the actions by the federal government and federal regulatory agencies would preempt states’ licensing. However, if treated as “securities” (the SEC has not completely cleared the issue up), cryptocurrencies, especially ICOs, would have to clear “ blue sky laws ” on a state-by-state basis. Canada
The Financial Consumer Agency in Canada does not consider cryptocurrencies to be “legal tender,” excluding all but Canadian bank notes and coins from that definition. The True North, however, is not all harsh on its cryptocurrency regulatory stances. In fact, it appears to be the most transparent country in this list when it comes to understanding laws surrounding the digital currency industry (aside from Switzerland, which wants to be “THE crypto-nation”). After weeks of hearings, which included testimony from experts like Andreas Antonopoulos, the Canadian Parliament approved Bill C-31 on June 19, 2014, the world’s first national law on digital currencies. The Canadian government has been communicative in its regulatory stances on cryptocurrency ever since: the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) sent out a regulatory notice on August 24, 2017, confirming “the potential applicability of Canadian securities laws to cryptocurrencies and related trading and marketplace operations and to provide market participants with guidance on analyzing these requirements.” If you want a clear and concise interpretation of this notice, check out this article. | https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/cryptocurrency-regulation-2018-where-world-stands-right-now/ |

Who knew that the people who worked for me actually liked me? It’s not that I was surprised that they liked me, but I was surprised that it was one of the reasons that they wanted to stay. It turns out, people want to work for a boss that they like. Sometimes in the small business and startup world, we forget that there are bosses out there that are complete A-holes. These managers stomp all over their subordinates just to further their career. But as I found out, being well liked can cover up for a lot of mistakes I made. No, I wasn’t the best boss. I didn’t always get it right. But I always had the well being of my employees at heart. If someone spent a couple of weeks working harder than normal to meet a Friday deadline, I would give them off on Monday. | https://biz30.timedoctor.com/5-reasons-why-people-want-to-work-for-your-company/ |

Market Economy Examples

If you hear someone talking about a pure market system or a purely capitalist system, you should know that the person is talking about an ideal or a principle rather than any real economic system. A market economy is generally synonymous with capitalism, as it is in the market that capitalists (the owners of capital) compete for resources, labor and customers to sell their goods and services. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
A pure market system can be described as the polar opposite to a pure communist or socialist system, otherwise known as a command system. The government and society work toward empowering the market rather than the market being subservient to the government. The Ideal of a Pure Market Economy
A pure market system involves the free exchange of goods and services and private ownership of property. | https://bizfluent.com/13639139/what-is-a-pure-market-system-of-economics |

A pure market system involves the free exchange of goods and services and private ownership of property. Institutions and the government do not obstruct the market, and more importantly, they work to protect and preserve the freedom of the market. The exchange of goods and services is not hindered by factors external to it, such as prices, wages or interest rates. This is the opposite of a pure command economy, in which the government would control the market completely and own all property. Another way to describe a pure market economic system is pure capitalism. Neither a pure market economy nor a pure command economy exist in any country in the real world. | https://bizfluent.com/13639139/what-is-a-pure-market-system-of-economics |

Why a Holistic View of Your Business Is Essential

A holistic approach to business strategy harnesses the power of knowing exactly who is doing what, why they're doing it and how the expected outcome will affect the entire company. This top-level view of a business is essential for developing a comprehensive strategy that plays to the strengths of each department. It also avoids potential workflow problems and poor interdepartmental communication. Do not misunderstand the holistic approach definition: It does not mean that you'll be adopting a spiritual perspective of your business.

You're not overly concerned with how the design department is performing just for the sake of the design department. Instead, you want to know how their work affects the company overall. That's why your major key performance indicators (KPIs) should be applicable to the entire company. Better yet, any KPIs focusing specifically on a particular department should trace back to show the impact on a company-wide KPI. Profitability and return on investment represent two examples of company-wide KPIs. Lead generation and page views represent department-specific KPIs.

Having issues such as political unrest, natural disasters and economic downturns impact your supply chain is one of the disadvantages of supply chain collaboration on a global scale. These issues can cause difficulties sourcing the products, materials and supplies you need when businesses have to close down or are unable to transport goods. This can lead to you not having enough inventory to fulfill customer demand and can hurt both your sales and customer satisfaction. 00:00

You also have to consider your customers who may have their orders delayed due to issues beyond your control. Customs problems can block shipments at a certain port, while natural disasters can make it impossible for local postal services to deliver your customers' orders on time.

Managing a global supply chain requires you to understand laws and standards in multiple countries since customs can vary widely.

Content: At the same time, different countries and factories set their own quality standards, so you could end up with products that have a lower quality level than desired. You also have to consider additional ethical issues such as poor working conditions and forced labor when you consider your business partners. Language and Communication Barriers
Limitations of international logistics management include having to communicate with companies whose staff might not speak English and who might be many hours ahead or behind you. This can make it difficult to set up meetings, contact companies about delayed or damaged shipments or simply ask questions. When you do interact, you might have misunderstandings on both sides that can cause delays or result in your accepting an agreement with terms you misheard. Harder Supply Chain Planning
From facing challenges finding the right global suppliers to accounting for the risks and uncertainties planning your supply chain, managers can expect to need a higher level of expertise to successfully manage a global supply chain. You'll need to perform careful analysis when considering global business partners so that you get the best supply chain response time and pricing. Not only must you consider potential delays due to issues beyond your control but your planning also has to include factors like the time needed to clear customs and variations in the responsiveness of suppliers and transporters to changing demand. Financial Disadvantages of Logistics Management
The disadvantages of logistics management globally also include the financial impact it can have on your company.

Economics is about the production, distribution and consumption of goods. A key decision facing workers, firms and nations is what goods to produce. The economic concept of specialization helps answer this question. Under specialization, economic actors concentrate their skills on tasks at which they are the most skilled. Specialization has both micro- and macroeconomic applications. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Specialization in an economic sense refers to individuals and organizations focusing on the limited range of production tasks they perform best. Specialization increases output because workers do not lose time shifting among different tasks. Specialization in the Workplace

Specialization is related to another economic concept, division of labor, discussed at great length by Adam Smith, the 18th-century Scottish economist and author of “The Wealth of Nations.” Smith illustrated the benefits of specialization and a division of labor when describing a pin factory, in which each worker performs a single specialized task. 00:00

One worker measures wire, another cuts it, one points it, others make the head and so on. Through this process, workers produced thousands more pins than if each worker made whole pins independently. Effect of Specialization on Production
Specialization, as illustrated by Adam Smith’s example of the pin factory, allows workers to develop more skill in their specific tasks. Specialization increases output because workers do not lose time shifting among different tasks. Smith also believed workers with specialties were more likely to innovate, to create tools or machinery to make their tasks even more efficient. Benefits of Specialization
The benefits of specialization extend beyond individual workers. Firms that specialize in their particular products can produce larger quantities to sell. | https://bizfluent.com/about-5348857-meaning-specialization-economics.html |

The benefits of specialization extend beyond individual workers. Firms that specialize in their particular products can produce larger quantities to sell. Those firms and their employees use the proceeds from the sale of those goods to buy needed goods produced by other workers and companies. The Downside of Specialization
While Adam Smith saw the advantages of specialization and division of labor, he saw a downside to them as well. He feared that monotonous assembly lines in which workers performed single tasks throughout the day could sap their creativity and spirit. He saw education as a remedy and believed that education fostered creativity and innovation in workers. Karl Marx seized on Smith’s concerns in his writings on economics. | https://bizfluent.com/about-5348857-meaning-specialization-economics.html |

Applications for Quantitative Techniques in Business Decision Making
Learn More →
Business managers use statistics as an aid to making decisions in the face of uncertainty. Statistics can be used for making sales projections, financial analysis of capital expenditure projects, constructing profit projections for a new product, setting up production quantities, and making a sampling analysis to determine the quality of a product. Using statistics provides real data about complex situations rather than making decisions based on unsubstantiated hunches. Performance Measurement
A common use of statistics is to measure performance. For example, you might gather data about a small number of product units to make an estimate about the quality level of an entire batch of production; this is known as statistical sampling and is used to determine whether to accept or reject a batch. Another use could be the analysis of the production output of an employee to find out if the worker is meeting the desired productivity standards. | https://bizfluent.com/about-6360783-importance-statistics-industry-business.html |

Other Benefits of Effective Communication
Content: Employee relationships can also benefit from good communication, which results not only in the employees being more productive but also in improved morale as they may begin to think of one another as friends rather than just co-workers. Effective communication will also allow management to know what works and does not work when it comes to motivating employees, ensuring the company spends time and resources on motivating techniques that actually work. This is yet another way good communication techniques can improve morale. Companies with good communication practices encourage employees to speak up and employees tend to feel more comfortable in these settings. This can result in greater innovation as the employees do not feel like their ideas will get shut down when they are shared. References

How to Develop Influence & Be a Good Leader
Learn More →
According to ManagementHelp.org, “leadership development is an effort (hopefully, planned in nature) that enhances the learner's capacity to lead oneself, other individuals, groups and organizations.” Leadership development program training provides people in leadership positions with the inspiration, direction and tools to effectively lead themselves and others. The program training should result in highly motivated, able leaders who are proactive and innovative in their leadership ability. Purpose
The purpose of leadership development program training is to clearly define the leader’s roles, abilities and action plan on how to accomplish her goals. The intention is to instruct leaders on how to become better agents of change and effective management principles. It is intended to teach leaders how to lead themselves in personal and professional development. Approach
A leadership development program may choose different approaches when it comes to training leaders. Training programs typically use leadership building activities to use hands-on experiences to illustrate team-building and leadership principles. For example, a training program may have the leaders participate in a sports game to teach principles on teamwork, organizational communication and the need for leadership. | https://bizfluent.com/about-6634847-leadership-development-program-training.html |

Implementation
Leadership development programs should always include an action plan that the leaders can use to implement change when they return from the training program. For example, if the training was on effective interpersonal communication, the leaders may be required to write down their interpersonal communication strengths and weaknesses. Next to each weakness the leaders should write a sentence or two describing how they will strengthen that particular weakness. When the leaders return to work, they can intentionally focus on improving those areas. | https://bizfluent.com/about-6634847-leadership-development-program-training.html |

Effective leadership development programs will result in leaders who have strong people skills, clear direction and the ability to communicate both interpersonally and corporately. These leadership skills will affect the people below the leader providing them with greater purpose, job satisfaction and direction. This will lead a strong internal structure for the organization and a positive corporate culture. It also fosters trustworthiness in the leadership with the followers. Considerations
Leadership development cannot be accomplished in one day, but is a continual process where the leader takes personal responsibility to educate, inspire and be proactive with self-education and training. | https://bizfluent.com/about-6634847-leadership-development-program-training.html |

Content: Outcome
Effective leadership development programs will result in leaders who have strong people skills, clear direction and the ability to communicate both interpersonally and corporately. These leadership skills will affect the people below the leader providing them with greater purpose, job satisfaction and direction. This will lead a strong internal structure for the organization and a positive corporate culture. It also fosters trustworthiness in the leadership with the followers. Considerations
Leadership development cannot be accomplished in one day, but is a continual process where the leader takes personal responsibility to educate, inspire and be proactive with self-education and training. This can be accomplished through attending leadership conferences, reading books on leadership skills and asking for feedback from peers. References

Content: Why Are Trade Agreements Important? | Bizfluent
Why Are Trade Agreements Important? Trade agreements are treaties signed by two or more nations to encourage the free flow of goods and services between the members. These agreements, which can be bilateral or multilateral, reduce or eliminate trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas. As such, they lead to the creation of new markets for businesses, facilitate the production of high-quality goods and enhance economic growth. Trade Volume
Since trade agreements create favorable trading conditions, businesses in the member countries have a greater incentive to trade in new markets. For example, when the United States entered into a free trade agreement with Australia in 2005, businesses in both countries were able to export and import more goods without paying any tariffs. The Office of the United States Trade Representative reports that the U.S. exported $18.9 billion worth of goods to Australia in 2009, which represents a 33 percent increase from 2004. During this period, imports from Australia also increased by 3.5 percent. New Jobs
With the expansion of markets comes increased business performance. | https://bizfluent.com/about-6656701-trade-agreements-important-.html |

With the expansion of markets comes increased business performance. In particular, small businesses can buy raw materials from other countries within the free trade area without incurring any additional costs and sell more goods in the expanded market. This leads to the creation of new jobs, as the businesses need more personnel to support growing operations. According to USTR, 6,000 new U.S. jobs are created for every $1 billion worth of exports. 00:00

Motivation is the psychological process of providing purpose and intention to behavior – it explains why people behave the way they do. By using motivation theories, management can inspire customers to choose the brand and encourage employees to take action and become self-directed. Various theories of motivation in psychology exist that have been studied and implemented in management regarding motivation. Acquired Needs Theory
This theory states that every person has the same needs, but each individual prioritizes them differently. The theory identifies three needs: achievement, power and affiliation. The need for achievement is the desire to do well at a task, the need for power demonstrates itself through influence over other people, and the need for affiliation is the yearning for meaningful relationships. Management needs to identify each person's first priority need and adjust the working situation accordingly to optimize each person's performance. | https://bizfluent.com/about-7239234-motivation-management-theories.html |

Two Factor Theory
The ERG Theory
Content: The needs that Maslow identified include physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualization. According to this theory, management can motivate workers by meeting their most basic human needs and building on them. For example, management should ensure that employees are allotted a fair amount of time for food, social interaction and breaks. In addition, companies can use the theory's pyramid of needs to make their products better appeal to customers' needs from the lower to higher levels. For example, customers whose physiological needs are not satisfied are not yet ready to focus on luxury goods near the top of the pyramid. On the other hand, customers near the top of the pyramid would be interested in products or services related to hobbies and travel. Two Factor Theory
The two factor theory identifies two main sources of motivation for people in the workforce. The first is hygiene factors, such as the working environment, a person's salary, job security and management styles. The second motivator in this theory is satisfaction, which include achievement, status, recognition, responsibility and potential growth. The more these factors are present in a worker's environment, the more an employee will be motivated. | https://bizfluent.com/about-7239234-motivation-management-theories.html |

The Process of Leadership
Content: Each type of motivation can be used to influence employees, even the seemingly negative fear motivation. Occasionally, when no other methods are getting through, fear motivation can be used to make a critical point about an employee’s performance. Most employees may embody two or three different types of motivation, but it’s most likely that one certain type is dominant and can be identified. Theories of Motivation in Management
Coming out of these various definitions are theories of motivation in organizational behavior and management that attempt to explain and thus advise on what drives motivation for employees. Experts acknowledge anywhere from three to five separate theories of motivation. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs breaks human needs down to a five-level hierarchy, with the main point being that basic needs must be met before higher needs like self-actualization come into play. In the workplace, this means understanding the needs level of each employee and encouraging a workplace that may help meet the other levels of needs (for example, offering flexible hours and work-from-home days). It also means that each employee should have some idea of what self-actualization, the highest tier, means for his own career and his own role. Hertzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Hertzberg’s two-factor theory, also called the motivation-hygiene theory, separates employee needs into two categories for consideration. Motivational needs are factors that lead directly to employee satisfaction, such as recognition, career progression and finding pleasure in one’s work. | https://bizfluent.com/facts-6783665-organizational-behavior-theories-motivation.html |

Motivational needs are factors that lead directly to employee satisfaction, such as recognition, career progression and finding pleasure in one’s work. Hygiene needs don’t necessarily lead to satisfaction on their own but do lead to dissatisfaction if they aren’t met, such as competitive salary, good working relationships and fair business policies. Identifying the two types of needs can help the company better meet employee expectations. Equity/Process Theory
Equity or process theories focus on how motivation comes about rather than what specifically causes the motivation. These theories separate content (what specifically may motivate people or what they say is important) and process (the how or why). The focus is then on the perceived reward an individual obtains and her satisfaction with this reward, defined as the output, whereas the work put in is the input. | https://bizfluent.com/facts-6783665-organizational-behavior-theories-motivation.html |

Due to wall deterioration from moisture, inmates removed portions of the South Dakota State Penitentiary stonewalls as a work opportunity. Laundry and cleaning opportunities are available in some prisons to increase the activities available to inmates. Some prisons train inmates to reduce the feeling of hopelessness that can be found in a prison environment. Educational Activities
Prisons offer educational opportunities for inmates to improve themselves and assist in preparing them for the return to normal society. Programs are available to assist with reading, math and language skills. These programs allow inmates the opportunity to gain a high school diploma while incarcerated. Additional programs allow for inmates to receive courses in life skills, including computer literacy, parenting, anger management and victim empathy. The year 2009 saw some changes to the educational programs to inmates, with the addition of postsecondary vocational certifications at the Utah Department of Corrections. Programs include residential construction, automotive and culinary arts. | https://bizfluent.com/facts-6863873-utilization-management-health-care-.html |

Content: Relations Between Lenders and Property Owners
In an ideal situation, lenders and property owners work together to make the foreclosure and eviction process run smoothly. This may even mean that a lender will agree to not foreclose on a property in exchange for the owner giving up his or her rights to the property and moving out voluntarily. Lenders will even sometimes pay cash to owners who agreed to leave voluntarily and leave the home in excellent "broom swept" condition. This means that all personal property has been removed from the home and that it has been cleaned so that it can be shown by real estate agents to possible buyers. 00:00

Unfortunately, these amicable agreements do not always happen. In some cases, owners or tenants refuse to leave a property voluntarily and may not even be prepared for a sheriff's eviction. In other cases, residents will simply abandon the property and move elsewhere. As a result, a foreclosed home may contain personal property that belonged to the previous occupants. Personal Items, Debris and Damage
Personal property usually needs to be removed before a bank or lender is able to put the home back on the market for sale. Other factors that may need to be considered include the possibility that a home has been structurally damaged by an angry owner or tenant, that the home may contain potentially dangerous debris such as drug paraphernalia or that the place has been infested with insects or rodents. | https://bizfluent.com/how-11403292-bid-foreclosure-cleanout.html |

Because standard moving and cleaning companies are usually not equipped or willing to take on jobs involving the removal and disposal of large amounts of personal property cleaning up debris or dealing with structural issues, some junk disposal businesses specialize in foreclosure closeouts. If you operate a junk disposal business, learning how to find and bid on jobs can greatly increase your profits. Foreclosure Cleanout Considerations
Cleaning up a home after a foreclosure isn't just a matter of moving personal possessions from one property to the next, nor is it as straightforward as a typical junk removal project.

Content: Infestations and Hazardous Materials
Foreclosed homes may contain hazardous materials, such as used hypodermic needles, chemicals used in the manufacture of drugs, human or animal waste and vermin infestations. Personal protective equipment, such as heavy boots, gloves, face masks and goggles can provide some protection against these hazards. However, there are some hazardous waste issues that need to be dealt with by professionals. If that is the case, you will need to contract with a company that is experienced in decontamination before you can proceed with the cleanout. Junk Storage or Disposal
You will need to determine what you are going to do with items that you retrieve from the home. In some cases, the lender may want you to place these items in storage so that the previous tenant or homeowner can retrieve them at a later date. In other cases, it will be up to your company to dispose of the personal property that you collect. As a foreclosure closeout company owner, it will be up to you to develop relationships with recycling centers, charitable organizations that collect items for resale or distribution and junkyards. After the cleanout, you'll be responsible for sorting out these items and dropping them off at their respective destinations. Timing
Vacant buildings can lose their value quickly. | https://bizfluent.com/how-11403292-bid-foreclosure-cleanout.html |

Calculating the Quota Rent
Content: What economists mean by a "rent" is the extra profit a company may extract from a customer because of an agreement that favors the company or for some other reason, such as a lack of competition that gives the company an added advantage. A quota rent is a regulatory restriction on the allowed amount of some good or service that may enter or leave an economic sphere. Often it is intended to produce an economic advantage for one of the parties. For example, the difference between the cost of an auto part in the Chinese domestic market and the actual cost may be the result of an import quota that restricts the supply and allows domestic Chinese manufacturers to charge more than they could in a fully competitive economy. Not all quota rents are straightforward. Some are hidden or indirect, and others are inadvertent. 00:00

Detecting Indirect Quota Rent
Determine if the goods are affected by an indirect or inadvertent quota rent. While a strict regulatory environment, for instance, protects consumers, it may end up giving the largest corporations a competitive advantage. For example, if the regulations require companies to invest large amounts of capital to begin a wind farm or nuclear power plant, this restricts the number of companies who can engage in nuclear or alternative energy production, limiting competition. A city may regulate taxis to ensure quality of service, but taxi regulation may limit the number of available taxis on city streets. | https://bizfluent.com/how-12026023-calculate-quota-rent.html |

The Importance of Industry Analysis
Learn More →
Product due diligence is the approach used to evaluate the viability of a given product or service. Common tactics include target market research, industry analysis and competitor analysis. It is also important to assess your internal competencies, along with potential threats, before developing a solution. Perform Market Research
Market research is an evaluation of the potential size and characteristics of consumers or companies that might buy your product. The size of the market is the total number of potential customers under-served or not served at all by existing solutions. Identifying the characteristics and buying habits of target markets helps paint the picture of the potential benefits buyers seek. By combining the size of the market with estimates for your reach and frequency of purchases, you can develop a revenue forecast. Projecting revenue allows you to decide whether you will make enough to cover costs and earn a profit. Analyze the Industry
An industry analysis is a review of the current scope of an industry and the types of goods being offered. | https://bizfluent.com/how-4493168-determine-market-viability-product-service.html |

How to Record Depreciation
Learn More →
Capital improvements are improvements made to real property, such as an office building, that extend the useful life of the object for more than 1 year. The Internal Revenue Service sets forth guidelines for classifying items as capital improvements versus repairs and maintenance. Capital improvements are considered fixed assets, and the cost of the improvement is expensed over the useful life of the improvement, while repairs and maintenance are expensed when paid or incurred. Record the Capital Improvements
Create an account in the Fixed Asset section of the general ledger that designates the type of improvement. For example, improvements to the office building would be “Building Improvements.” Record the entire amount of the capital improvement cost as an increase to the Improvements general ledger account. 00:00

Definition

Financial Implications
Content: But when losses start crippling strategic initiatives and reducing money in corporate vaults, senior executives may think about improving fixed assets. Capital improvement assets, the result of these operational modifications, are integral to a balance sheet. Definition
A capital improvement asset is money a company doled out to repair, improve or increase the operational efficiency of a capital asset, also known as a fixed resource or tangible asset. Examples include commercial establishments, highways, residential dwellings, machinery and heavy-duty equipment. The business must spend a substantial amount and the improvements must be significant before the transaction can qualify as a capital improvement asset. Under accounting guidelines, an improvement is a capital betterment asset if it extends the estimated operational life of the asset, increases its capacity or efficiency, and the improvement increases the quality of outputs or reduces previously assessed operating expenses. Bookkeeping
To record capital improvement expenses, a corporate bookkeeper credits the cash account and debits the corresponding capital improvement asset account, which is a fixed asset account. In accounting terminology, crediting cash means reducing company money. Fixed assets are those a business will use for several years, so it makes sense to include capital improvement expenses in the "fixed assets" category. Capital improvement assets are subject to depreciation, which spreads the resources' costs over the number of years an organization will use them. | https://bizfluent.com/info-10002329-capital-improvement-asset-balance-sheet.html |

As long-term assets, capital improvement assets make their way into the "property, plant and equipment" (PPE) section of a balance sheet. The PPE section is where accountants lump all fixed assets, a move aimed at regulatory compliance and analytical convenience. Accumulated depreciation is a contra-account that reduces the value of the corresponding capital improvement asset over the depreciation term, which may span anywhere from a few months to two or three decades -- as is often the case for highways.

Capital improvement assets often call for significant costs, and a company's leadership ensures these expenses don't break the operating bank. | https://bizfluent.com/info-10002329-capital-improvement-asset-balance-sheet.html |

Repairing business assets usually makes for simple accounting. You spend $50 repairing your copier; you record a $50 repair expense. Repairs and upgrades big enough to qualify as capital improvements are a different story. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), you treat these improvements as added assets and depreciate them over time. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Under GAAP, you record repairs and maintenance as an expense. The cost of significant improvements, such as a new engine in a truck or installing a more efficient HVAC, must be depreciated over time. | https://bizfluent.com/info-12147274-gaap-accounting-capital-improvements.html |

Knowing the difference in GAAP between making repairs to business property and capitalizing building improvements, for example, requires understanding fixed assets and their useful life. Fixed assets include vehicles, computers, furniture, buildings, land and machinery, among other items. To qualify as fixed, an asset has to have a useful life greater than one year and be worth more than the company's capitalization or cap limit. By treating purchases below the cap limit as expenses, businesses can skip the record keeping required for depreciating capital assets. 00:00

Useful life is how long your accounting treats an asset as having value. If an asset's useful life is five years, for example, you depreciate 20% of the asset's cost every year. Useful life is an accounting approach, not a requirement that you junk the asset and replace it when the life span expires. Repair vs. Capital Improvement in GAAP
When do repairs to fixed assets become capital improvements? Under GAAP, they have to accomplish one of three things: Extend the asset's useful life
Enhance the overall value
Adapt the asset so it can be used in a new way
Everything else is an expense. | https://bizfluent.com/info-12147274-gaap-accounting-capital-improvements.html |

Everything else is an expense. Take roofs as an example. Patching holes and cleaning gutters count as routine repairs and maintenance expenses. By contrast, putting on a new roof extends the building's life span. Putting on new, better-quality shingles may enhance the property's value. On a company vehicle, replacing tires or putting in a new battery counts as standard maintenance. | https://bizfluent.com/info-12147274-gaap-accounting-capital-improvements.html |

Replacing the engine is a capital improvement, as it extends the life of the car. Adding a hydraulic lift to a truck qualifies as increasing its overall value. Expense and Improvement Bookkeeping
Under GAAP, when your company repairs a fixed asset, you record it as an expense in your accounting journals. For example, suppose you pay $300 to fix a brake problem in your company truck. You report $300 of spending in cash or accounts payable and enter $300 in the vehicle maintenance account. | https://bizfluent.com/info-12147274-gaap-accounting-capital-improvements.html |

You report $300 of spending in cash or accounts payable and enter $300 in the vehicle maintenance account. Now, suppose that instead of a $300 repair, you spend $4,000 installing a new engine, which is over the $2,500 cap limit. You record the $4,000 bill in cash or accounts payable and add $4,000 to the account for vehicle assets. You make the same sort of journal entries for building improvements or major upgrades to factory equipment. Improvements to Land
The accounting treatment for building improvements works like other capital improvements. If you're making improvements to land, however, it gets more complicated. | https://bizfluent.com/info-12147274-gaap-accounting-capital-improvements.html |
