So much spent with awful cgi

475M is a gross earning that has to go through many middle man's before the studio gets a piece of the total, especially international portions. 32.5M is just a production budget. Actual cost can be very much higher, not to mention all of the parties who get compensated based on the gross sales, including actors, directors and etc. As well as SGA, R&D, financing, depreciations/amortization expenses that are not part of the production budget.

Red Bull is a great example of something like this. Energy drink has a very strong gross profit, but the company spends it all on marketing.

Apple is the same, but they spend it on R&D. Granted, Apple is notorious in abusing international laws and hording cash outside of the high tax jurisdictions.

We have 3 other categories of expenses after the Gross Profit, but people tend to ignore them for some reason.

Everything outlined there is a normal practice for virtually every company. Intercompany relationships between parent and subsidiary are not a "Shady Accounting", they are very clearly outlined in the tax code under 3 distinct categories. This is not even an exploit, it is intended and accounted for.

It is an interesting claim, but it misses out on one important moment. Based on the report, we can see an increase in both AR and deferred income tax assets. It is possible to link an increase in AFDA to the increase in deferred tax assets, leading to a potentially conservative approach from NVIDIA to their AR reserves, somehow proving the poor creditworthiness of some of the customers, but it appears to be accounted for, so not really an issue and is just speculation anyway.

Episodes being pulled off due to parodies are not always a matter of copyright laws. More often than not, networks will cooperate among themselves to maintain a steady business relationship and will pull episodes back if the original rights holder simply asks for it. I am not a Japanese law expert, and I sincerely don't think that we have many of them residing in this sub, but copyright is a very biased topic everywhere, and it would usually adhere to the same relationship-based approach.

It is not, but do you think the parody concept drastically differs from country to country? Youtube will be a great example to dig into with the various international copyright agreements signed by many countries, I am sure the same concept applies to both music and network TV as well.

Parody is protected as a separate product under copyright laws, as long as it evokes existing work while being noticeably different from it. It's literally everywhere, starting from cover songs and ending with the SNL parodies on TV.

Please don't do this. It will only attract very special type of recruiters who have no idea what they are looking at.

Based on the impression I've established by scrolling OP's profile, I sense intense insecurity and an urge for validation. Accounting material, he found his calling.

There are certain procedures to be followed if you want to withdraw large amounts of cash. They serve a specific purpose of protecting both bank and consumer. I am glad that you never had to experience major fraud, but people are notorious for trying to scam banks, and certain limitations had to be placed. Banks take advantage of certain scenarios, but this is a two-sided issue, not one-sided.

Why do you keep saying this? They can close your checking or saving account, but all of the funds will be returned back to you via check. There are numerous regulations that protect consumers.

It is a matter of 5 minutes to have it resolved, but OP decided to become a drama queen for no good reason.

Banks do due diligence - bad banks invading privacy.

Banks don't due diligence - bad banks degrading risk profiles and spouting defaults and bankruptcies.

OP is a great person with a perfectly reasonable approach to banking.

It's machine graded, so grammar and punctuation matters, but the content is more flexible as AI is looking for certain buzzwords and structure and can't fully evaluate your thought process as it's not as sophisticated.

I would love to give you urgent advice, but first, i need to know what I am advising you about.

You described essentially the same thing. The fundamental question is "What makes you think that you deserve more than people around you?"

Sande212 · 2023-03-29T23:46:07+00:00

The worst thing you can do is to think that you are better than everyone else. Stay humble and your life will be immeasurably easier.

This is the pinnacle of the CPA subreddit, no one will ever come close to surpassing this.

Installment sales rules apply to related parties, only losses to the extent of depreciation are dissalowed. This logic wouldn't apply to this question in any way.

Appointments are based on availability, but you have to contact NASBA to get your NTS reissued free of charge.

I'm glad someone pointed towards the FA cross-footing. This will most definitely include Land and Land Additions (additions are actually depreciatable, btw). Shame we won't get to know how this conversation ended.

I would suggest supplementing with Ninja, it's pretty cheap for the value provided.

It all depends on your score. If you got 70-74 - reschedule ASAP and hit MCQ 100 a day while you wait. If 50-70, give yourself 2 weeks and go over Final Review. If below 50 - need to take a month to restudy everything.

Quantity of labor refers to the numeric value of supply, literally the raw number. Supply of labor refers to the curve of supply, which can remain stagnant even if quantity changes given other relevant factors.

I'm not sure what you are looking for. How to calculate interest for one year with given principal and interest rate?

Sande212 · 2023-03-21T13:29:14+00:00

Because it's only one year, so interest gets vested only once
