Document Summary

Roman period: 30 bc 395 ad. Chronological framework: relative dating methods *possible test question* In a hill, that found closest to the top is that which is closest to us temporally, while that found deeper is further away from us in history. Introduced by petrie; dates artefacts by looking at changes in style and dating them like that. Seriation: taking artefacts from multiple sites and creating a bigger framework. Aegyptiaca compile by manetho, early 3rd century bc. Demotic chronicle, 300 bc: absolute chronologies. There are only two dates that we have been able to absolutely set in stone and be absolutely sure of. Particular types of artefacts or organic remains can be assigned dates in terms of the measurement of radioactive decay or accumulation. Co-regencies: a modern term applied to the periods during which two kings were simultaneously ruling. Dark-ages: intermediate periods when the political and social stability of the pharaonic period appeared to have been temporarily damaged.

GAAP Application-Conceptual Framework of Accounting the ConceptualFramework allows for the systematic adaptation of accountingstandards to a changing business environment. The FASB uses theconceptual framework to aid in an organized and consistentdevelopment of new accounting standards. The conceptual frameworkoutlines the objectives of financial reporting and the qualities ofgood accounting information, precisely defines commonly used termssuch as asset and revenue, and provides guidance about appropriaterecognition, measurement, and reporting. Understanding theterminology associated with the framework is imperative. Match thenumbered statements below with the lettered terms. An answer(letter) may used more than once, and some terms require more thanone answer (letter). 1. Key ingredients in quality of relevance. 2.Traditional assumptions that influence the FASB's conceptualframework. 3. The idea that information should represent what itpurports to represent. 4. An important constraint relating to costsand benefits. 5. An example of conservatism 6. The availability ofinformation when it is needed. 7. Recording an item in theaccounting records. 8. Determines the threshold for recognition. 9.Implies consensus. 10. Transactions between independent parties. a)Cost-effectiveness b) Representational faithfulness c) Recognitiond) Verifiability e) Time periods f) Unrealized g) Completeness h)Timeliness i) Materiality j) Predictive value k) Economic entity l)Lower-of-cost-or-market rule m) Phrenology n) Arm's-lengthtransactions Now that you have reviewed the terminology, for eachsituation listed below, indicate by letter the appropriatequalitative characteristic(s) or accounting concept(s) applied. Aletter may be used more than once, and more than one characteristicor concept may apply to a particular situation. Explain why youchose your answer.
