Evaluation of the appropriateness of the treatments in Carter’s 2015 financial statements

When an intangible asset is acquired, its reasonable useful life should be estimated to determine the amortization expense. However, an intangible asset whose useful life is indefinite shall not be subjected to amortization. Instead, it shall be tested for impairment and any losses recognised ...

Discrimination is the disadvantageous treatment of an individual based on race, sex, color, age, religion, disability, etc. Although discrimination is publicly looked down upon in most countries, discriminatory policies and practices remain in every part of the world.

Human behaviour is intrinsic to say the least and certain unintentional actions by a person can reveal the state of that person. Human behaviour is influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport and so on. A person can become aggressive when he or she is faced with an unsettling situation, and their aggressiveness need not necessarily be in the form of physical or vocal outbursts. It can be in the form of non-cooperation, or by showing signs of anxiety and restlessness. Elizabeth Hutchinson (2011), in Dimensions of Human Behavior, looks at certain theories that can be applied to ...

On a broad scale, this paper finds that artificial intelligence is a relatively new field, but its outcomes are promising. Creators of artificially intelligent systems aim to make machines capable of making independent decisions, and artificially intelligent objects heavily rely on agents to be able to make the independent decisions. Artificial intelligence is widely applied in various fields such as medicine, banking and the video gaming industry among others. Future forecasts prove that artificial intelligence ...
