    I cannot say enough about how good this lady is. I have watched to over 100 such videos. Many of them drag it out to fill 20 minutes. Turns out, if the videos are longer, they make more money. This lady stays to the point makes it clear. Maybe I am biased, because I have an accent too.

  • @prateshramjohn
    @prateshramjohn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Accountant here, excellent video for beginners.
    Just to add some context to apple's excellent Cash conversion cycle; when companies outsource manufacturing, raw materials/component parts are not reflected on the statements and therefore only finished products are reflected as 'Inventory'. Meaning the inventory days becomes much smaller.
    Additionally, we're all aware that Apple stocks are high valued. They have a market capitalization of about 2trillion.
    Market capital cap refers to the total value of all shares at market price.
    The value of stocks reflected on the balance sheet is par. That means its the price the stock was issued at by Apple to the public. The price of Apple stocks on the secondary market(stock market) is higher than par because investors value the stock to be worth more than it was issued at.

    Leila, another well delivered tutorial, thank you. May I suggest content for another tutorial? I'd like to know if and how I can apply standard formatting (font, font size, paragraph alignment, and line spacing, etc) to all MS Word docs on my hard drive without having to open each file individually and apply the desired formatting. It would also be good to add in a command that converted older file formats, such as Word 97-2003, to the latest format without having to open and save each file in the new version. Thank you.
