Dear Prof. Stiner,
You make me so happy.
I was glad to read
about your vacation.
If I had a vacation,
I would go to Choushi Japan.
Hiro, I found a
webcam for Choushi. It is at:
http://www.grandhotel-isoya.co.jp/livecam/javaview.htm
Is this the Choushi
you talked about? Does it have a
lighthouse? The
ocean looked so
peaceful!
I'm sorry.
I was sick last week.
But I am better now.
I'm careful so as not
to take a rest hereafter.
I won't miss class
again.
Hiro, I am sorry to
hear you were sick. I hope you are
all well now. If
you are sick, please
rest. Then you will get well fast
and come back to
class with lots of
energy.
In the US, students
often email their professors to say they are sick
and will not be in
class. Do students in Japan do
that?
What do you do to
make yourself feel better when you are sick? When I
am sick, I feel
better when I eat chicken soup.
Campbell Soup
Company makes my favorite chicken
soup. This is a page
from the Campbell
Soup web site.

Third homework to
Sixth send mail.
Now, the answers to
this week's homework are:
1.The balance sheet
is the statement of a business's financial position.
correct
2.In the United
States, the balance sheet is "classified."
This sentence is
correct. But it does not answer
the question, "What is
stockholders'
equity?" Stockholders' equity
is the owners' share of the
assets. Stockholders' equity is what is left of
the assets after the
liabilities are
paid. It is the net worth of the
company.
3.Cash and cash
equivalents.
correct
4.February 2, 2001 is
$4,910.
This says that Dell
has four thousand nine hundred ten dollars in cash.
Dell has more cash
than that. At the top of the Dell
balance sheet
there is a phrase in
parentheses: (in millions, except per share
amounts). That means that six zeros are added to
every number in the
balance sheet. So Dell has $4,910,000,000 (four
billion nine hundred
ten million dollars)
in cash.
5.current portion of
long-term debt.
correct
6.2000 Year is $50.1.
This says that Nike
has fifty dollars and ten cents in current portion
of long-term
debt. Nike has more current
portion of long-term debt than
that. At the top of the Nike balance sheet
there is a phrase in
parentheses: (in
millions). That means that six
zeros are added to
every number in the
balance sheet. So Nike has
$50,100,000 (fifty
million one hundred
thousand dollars) in current portion of long-term
debt.
"Current portion
of long-term debt" means how much of the long term debt
they must pay this
year.

Corolla is so very
beautiful.
Yes, it is! I hope I

beach!
I hope you can see it
someday.
Sincerely,
hiro
The next lesson is
at:
http://www72.homepage.villanova.edu/susan.stiner/cgu/balance201.htm
This is the second
lesson about the balance sheet. We
start a company.
The company makes
four transactions. We make a
balance sheet for the
company.
I read an online
article in CareerJournalAsia. (at
http://www.careerjournal.com/myc/climbingladder/20010613-voigt.html
).
The writer said that
it is much more important today for Japanese
workers to know
English. In Matsushita Electric
employees must know
English to get
promoted. Do you think it is
important to your career to
know English?
