Jujurlah

Hati ini lelah
Tegar dan selalu tabah
Menerima dan menjalani semua yang ada
Taukah kini
kau menghindariku
Mungkin kau merasa
Bahwa kau lain padaku
Maafku tak bisa
bahagiakanmu
dengan caramu
dan mungkin ku selalu menyusahkanmu
mungkin sudah lama kau pendam
Dan tertahan dibibirmu
Meski kau tak menyakiti
meski begitu indah
namun mungkin kau jenuh padaku
Apa sebab dari semuanya ini
Biarlah waktu yang akan menjawab
semua akan terungkap
Aku hanya bisa dia dan berserah diri kepada malaikatku

Menjelang pagi

Sendiri..
sepi....
Saat bulan tak dapat bersinar
Jangan terpisah lagi
Waktu kan menguji cinta kita berdua
Coba dengarkanlah sumpahku
Dari hati...
Dari jiwa...
Tuk mewujudkan semuanya bersamamu
Jangan biarkan aku sendiri dan sepi
Aku cinta kamu
Jangan dengar kata mereka yang ingin kita satu
Dari Hati...
Dari jiwa...
Aku cinta kamu

Malaikat dari surga
Akan melihat betapa
Sungguh-sungguh hati ini
Tuk hidup bersamamu
Tapi akankah semuanya akan berjalan
kita dan kita hanya sanggup
Berdoa dan memohon yang terbaik

Kekuatan cinta

Karena keagungan cinta
Hati ini tetap sabar
Hati ini tetap tabah
Tuk menerima semua perlakuan darimu
sampai akhir hayat ku pun
Aku masih mampu menerimanya
karna betapa besarnya cinta ini




Ku berharap kau mengerti akan cinta ini
Ku berharap kau lah jawaban dari segala risau
Ku berharap kau yang menemaniku sampai akhir ku
karna kaulah yang membuat hidup ini menjadi indah





Biarkanlah aku mencintaimu
Biarkanlah aku memilikimu
Biarkanlah hati ku
Biarkanlah hidup ku
Bersandar dipeluh pundakmu

Drama Cinta

Kini
Bertahun-tahun Penantian itu datang
kau membawa secercah cahaya
Pengharapan dan impianku

Memiliki dan mencintaiku
Dengan tidak memandangku
Dengan keterbatasan yang ku miliki
Dan aku bahagia akan hal itu




Bahagia dengan tangis
Tangis atas berbagai tudinganmu
Yang tidak membenarkan bahwa
Aku telah mendustai cinta kita
Bahagia akan kehadiran dan senyummu
Yang tertoleh indah diatas bibirmu

Dan Seakan.....
Kini bahagia,canda,tawa,tangis
telah melekat dihatiku
Sesuai perjalanan cinta kita
Dan semua telah kita lewati bersama
dengan rasa dihati yang bahagia
walau kadang kali rasa pahit yang kukecap
walaupun cinta ini baru seumur jagung
Tapi aku sudah menganggap mu
Lebih dari seorang kekasih pujaan hati

Semoga...
Kenangan,angan,cinta dan impian
Tetap terpatri dihati kita berdua
sampai suatu saat waktu yang memisahkan kita

ACQUISITION OF CAPITAL


A corporation needs capital in order to start up, operate and expand its business. The process of acquiring this capital is known as financing. A corporation uses two basic types of financing : equity financing and debt financing. Equity financing refers to funds that are invested by owners of the corporation. Debt financing, on the other hand, refers to funds that are borrowed from sources outside the corporation.
Equity financing (obtaining owner funds) can be exemplified by the sale of corporate stock. In this type of transaction, the corporation sells units of ownership known as shares of stock. Each share entitles the purchaser to a certain amount of ownership. For example, if someone buys 100 shares worth of Ford’s resources, materials, plants, production, and profits. The person who purchases shares of stock is known as a stockholder or shareholder.
All corporations, regardless of their size, receive their starting capital from issuing and selling shares of stock. The initial sales involve some risk on the part of the buyers because the corporation has no record of performance. If the corporation is successful, the stockholder may profit through increases valuation of the shares of stock, as well as by receiving dividends. Dividens are proportional amounts of profit usually paid quarterly to stockholder. However, if the corporation is not successful, the stockholder may take a severe loss on the initial stock investment.
Often equity financing does not provide the corporation with enough capital and it must turn to debt financing, or borrowing funds. One example of debt financing is the sale of corporate bonds. In this type of agreement, the corporation borrows money from an investor in return for a bond. The bond has a maturity date, a deadline when the corporation must repay all of the money it has borrowed. The corporation must also make periodic interest payments to the bondholder during the time the money is borrowed. If these obligations are not met, the corporation can be forced to sell its assets in order to make payments to the bondholders.
All businesses need financial support. Equity financing (as in the sale of stock) and debt financing (as in the sale of bonds) provide important means by which a corporation may obtain its capital.

PENGUASAAN MODAL

Sebuah perusahaan membutuhkan modal untuk memulai, beroperasi dan memperluas bisnis. Proses penguasaan modal kita ketahui sebagai perolehan dana. Sebuah perusahaan menggunakan 2 tipe dasar dari perolehan dana; perolehan dari dana sendiri dan perolehan dana dari berhutang. Perolehan dari dana sendiri mengacu ke dana yang telah di investasikan pemilik perusahaan. Perolehan dana dari berhutang, sebaliknya, mengacu ke dana yang dipinjam dari sumber luar perusahaan.
Perolehan dari dana sendiri (perolehan dana dari pemilik) bisa di contohkan dari penjualan saham perusahaan. Di transaksi tipe ini, perusahaan menjual beberapa unit yang diketahui sebagai saham. Setiap saham memberi hak kepada pembeli dengan jumlah kepemilikan tertentu. Sebagai contoh, jika seseorang membeli 100 bagian nilai saham dari perusahaan ford motor, orang tersebut telah memberi seratus bagian nilai kekayaan ford, material, pabrik, produksi dan keuntungan. Orang yang membeli saham itu disebut pemegang saham.
Semua perusahaan tidak pandang besar atau kecilnya, menerima modal awal dari pengeluaran dan penjualan saham. Penjualan permukaan mempunyai banyak resiko di pihak pembeli karena perusahaan tidak mempunyai catatan kinerja. Jika perusahaan berhasil, pemegang saham memperoleh keuntungan melalui kenaikkan harga dari saham, juga menerima pajak. Pajak adalah sejumlah keuntungan yang proporsional yang selalu dibayar setiap tiga bulan ke pemegang saham, bagaimana pun jika perusahaan tidak berhasil atau sukses, pemegang saham dapat mengalami kerugian besar pada penjualan saham.
Biasanya perolehan dana sendiri tidak cukup modal dan perusahaan harus beralih ke perolehan dana dari berhutang, atau meminjam dana. Satu contoh dari perolahan dana berhutang adalah penjualan surat tanda berhutang perusahaan. Di dalam persetujuan, perusahaan meminjam uang dari penanam modal dalam mengembalikkan surat tanda berhutang. Surat tanda berhutang mempunyai tanggal jatuh tempo, batas waktu saat perusahaan harus membayar kembali semua uang yang telah dipinjam. Perusahaan harus juga melakukan pembayaran bunga berkala ke pemegang surat tanda berhutang selama uang dipinjam. Jika kewajiban ini tidak terpenuhi, perusahaan dapat dipaksa untuk menjual aset perusahaan untuk membayar ke pemegang surat tanda berhutang.
Semua bisnis membutuhkan dukungan dana. Perolehan dari dana sendiri (didalam penjualan saham) dan perolehan dana dari berhutang (didalam penjualan surat tanda berhutang) memberikan jalan yang penting dimana beberapa perusahaan mungkin kekurangan modal.

THE BALANCE SHEET

Financial statements are the final product of the accounting process. They provide information on the financial condition of a company. The balance sheet, one type of financial statement, provides a summary of what a company owns and what it owes on one particular day.
Assets represent everything of value that is owned by a business, such as property, equipment, and accounts receivable. On the other hand, liabilities are the debts that a company owes--for example, to suppliers and banks. If liabilities are subtracted from assets (assets-liabilities) the amount remaining is the owners share of a business. This is known as owners’ or stockholders equity.

One key to understanding the accounting transactions of a business is to understand the relationship of its assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity. This is often represented by the fundamental accounting equation: assets equal liabilities plus owners’ equity.

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS’ EQUITY

These three factors are expressed in monetary terms and therefore are limited to items that can be given a monetary value. The accounting equation always remains in balance; in other words, one side must equal the other.
The balance sheet expands the accounting equation by providing more information about the assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity of a company at a specific time (for example, on December 31, 1993). It is made up of two parts. The first part lists the company assets, and the second part details liabilities and owners’ equity. Assets are divided into current and fixed assets. Cash, accounts receivable and inventories are all current assets. Property, buildings, and equipment make up the fixed assets of a company. The liabilities section of the balance sheet is often divided into current liabilities (such as bonds and long-term notes).
The balance sheet provides a financial picture of a company on a particular date, and for this reason it is useful in two important areas. Internally, the balance sheet provides managers with financial information for company decision making. Externally, it gives potential investors data for evaluating the company’s financial position.

AN ACCOUNTING OVERVIEW

Accounting is frequently called the “language of business” because of its ability to communicate financial information abaout an organization. Various interested parties, such as managers, potential investors, creditors, and the government, depend on a company’s accounting system to help them make informed financial decisions. An affective accounting system, therefore, must include accurate collecting, recording, classifying, summarizing, interpreting, and reporting of information on the financial status of an irganization.

In order to achieve a standardized system, the accounting process follows accounting principles and rules. Regardless of the type of business or the amount of money involved, common procedures for handling and presenting financial information are used. Incoming money (revenues) and outgoing money (expenditures) are carefully monitored, and transaction are summarized in financial statements, which reflect the major financial activities of an organization.

Two common financial statements are the balance sheet and the income statement. The balance sheet shows the financial position of a company at one point in time, while the income statement shows financial performance of a company over a period of time. Financial statement allow interested parties to compare one organization to another and/or to compare accounting periods within one organization. For example, an investor may compare the most recent income statements of two corporations in order to find out which one would be a better investement.

People who specialize in the field of accounting are known as accountants. In the United States, accountants are usually classified as public, private, or governmental. Public accountants work independently and provide accounting services such as auditing and tax computation to companies and individuals. Public accountants may earn the title of CPA(Certified Public Accountant) by fulfilling rigorous requirements. Private accountants work solely for private companies or corporations that hire them to maintain financial records, and governmental accountants work for governmental agencies or bureaus. Both private and governmental accountants are paid on a salary basis, whereas public accountants receive fees for their services.

Through effective application of commonly accepted accounting systems private, public, and govermmental accountants provide accurate and timely financial information that is necessary for organization decision making.

MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS

A company often becomes involved in international trade by exchanging goods or services with another country-importing raw materials it may need for production or exporting finished products to a foreign market. Establishing these trade relationships is the first step in the development of a multinational business. At this stage, however the corporation’s emphasis is still on the domestic market. As trade expands, the corporation’s dealing with companies or people outside the “home country” of that corporation increase.

The corporation then begins to view the whole world as a base for production and marketing operations. The next step in the development of a multinational business is focusing on the world market. The company may establish a foreign assembly plant, engage in contract manufacturing, or build a foreign manufacturing company or subsidiary. Therefore, a multinational corporation is a company that is primarily based in one country and has production and marketing activities in foreign countries.

Since World War II, multinational corporations have grown rapidly. The names and products of many of the multinational have become well-known in the world marketplace: International Business Machines (IBM), Royal Dutch Shell, Panasonic, Coca-Cola, and Volkwagen. Coca-Cola, for example, now has operations in more then 180 countries.

A multinational corporation operates in a complex business environment. Cultural, social, economic, political, and technological system vary from country to country. In order to operate successfully, a multinational company needs a basic understanding and appreciation of the foreign business environment.
