From the computer client, you can Open, Play, Play Audio, or Delete recorded meetings. If you only see the option to Open, then the file is a cloud recording. If a video file is showing as an audio file, click and wait for it to convert to a video format. 2. Accessing Cloud Recordings 2-1. Go to https://zoom.us/profile and sign in. You can use any web browser to log into your account and access your cloud recordings. 2-2. Click Recordings (if you're a "User").

How to Access Siri Handsfree on iPhone
1. Activating Hands-Free Mode For Siri 1-1. Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 8 or later. Hands-free mode is not available on earlier iOS versions. To check your version of iOS, tap on the Gear (Settings) icon, tap “About,” then scroll down to “Version.” If the version listed is 8.0 or above, your operating system can support hands-free mode. 1-2. Tap on the Gear (Settings) icon to open your iPhone’s Settings menu. If you don’t see the Settings icon on the initial Home screen, the number of apps on your initial Home screen may exceed the amount of space available. If that is the case, your iPhone may contain multiple Home screens. The Settings icon may be grouped with other apps within an app folder. An app folder has the same outline as an app, but it is translucent and contains smaller app icons. Tap on an app folder to view its contents. 1-3. Tap “General” to access the General Settings menu. The General Settings menu contains a list of various iPhone settings options, primarily concerning software, accessibility, and language. 1-4. Tap“Siri” to access Siri’s settings menu. Siri’s settings menu contains a list of various options related to Siri’s functionality, including language and voice gender. 1-5. Tap “Allow ‘Hey Siri’” to activate Siri’s hands-free mode. Confirm that hands-free mode is activated. The button to the right of “Allow ‘Hey Siri’” will slide to the right and turn green when hands-free mode is activated. 1-6. Connect your iPhone to power. Your iPhone must be connected to power in order for Siri’s hands-free mode to work. You can connect your iPhone to either a computer via USB or directly into an outlet via power adapter. You can also use a car adapter to plug your device in while driving 1-7. Say “Hey Siri,” along with your command or query, to activate Siri hands-free. Try asking Siri for recipes if your hands are busy in the kitchen. Or find out what the day’s weather will be like while you are brushing your teeth. As long as your iPhone is within hearing range, hands-free Siri can help make your life easier. 2. Troubleshooting Hands-Free Mode 2-1. Check that handsfree is enabled. Your handsfree settings may have been reverted during an update. Confirm that the “Allow ‘Hey Siri’” button is green in the Siri settings menu. Turn off “Allow ‘Hey Siri’” and then back on again. This reset may fix the problem. 2-2. Disable then re-enable Siri. Resetting Siri may fix the issues it is having. Open the Settings app. Select “General” and then “Siri” Tap the “Siri” slider to disable Siri. Tap the slider again to turn Siri back on. 2-3. Restart your device. Restarting your device is often the quickest way to fix most issues you are having. Press and hold the Power button on your iPhone. Slide the Power slider from left to right when it appears on the screen. Power your iPhone back on after it shuts down completely.

How to Access Someone Else's WhatsApp Account
1. Steps 1-1. Open WhatsApp on your friend's phone. It's a green app with a white phone icon on it. If your friend hasn't set up WhatsApp yet, have them do so before continuing. 1-2. Tap Settings (iPhone) or ⋮ (Android). The iPhone's option is in the bottom-right corner of the screen, while on Android is in the top-right corner of the screen. If WhatsApp opens to a chat, first tap the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the screen. 1-3. Tap WhatsApp Web/Desktop. It's near the top of the page (iPhone) or near the top of the drop-down menu (Android). On Android, you'll tap . 1-4. Open the WhatsApp Web website on your computer. You'll see a black-and-white box near the center of the page; this is a QR code, which you'll scan using your phone's camera. 1-5. Point your friend's phone's camera at the QR code. The phone's screen should be facing you, while the camera should be facing the QR code on your computer. If you've previously scanned a QR code with WhatsApp, you will need to first tap near the bottom of the screen to invoke the camera. 1-6. Wait for the code to scan. If the camera doesn't acknowledge the QR code right away, try moving your friend's phone closer to the screen. Once the QR code is scanned, the WhatsApp Web application will open; this is a program that allows you to view your friend's WhatsApp messages on your computer. WhatsApp messages viewed in the Web app will update as your friend sends and receives new messages. Tips The owner of the WhatsApp account you're accessing can sign you out of their account at any time by opening WhatsApp, going to the Settings menu, tapping WhatsApp Web, tapping Log out from all computers in the middle of the page, and tapping Log Out when prompted. Warnings Accessing someone's WhatsApp profile in this manner without their permission is a serious violation of privacy and may be illegal in your region.

How to Access UK Library Books on a Kindle
1. Setting Up OverDrive 1-1. Download the OverDrive app. To recap, the OverDrive application allows users to digitally check out eBooks from their local libraries. This is the easy part, but it requires a few steps before you can download it. Go to the Amazon Appstore on your computer or Kindle. On your computer, you can access the Appstore by going to Amazon's website and downloading the Appstore onto your computer. The Appstore will already be loaded onto your Kindle. An icon for the Appstore will on the home screen of your Kindle. Search for the OverDrive application in the search bar at the top. Click install and wait for the application to install on your Kindle or computer. If you downloaded it on your computer, you need to sync it with your Kindle. You need to be connected wirelessly in order to do this. Take your Kindle and swipe down from the top of the screen to see Quick Settings. Click on Quick Settings, and then tap Sync. Once it is downloaded on your Kindle, you should be able to access it by clicking the OverDrive app icon on your home screen. 1-2. Register for an Adobe ID. OverDrive uses Adobe's Digital Editions software to read copy-protected e-books, so when you open the app it will explain that you need an Adobe ID number. If you have signed up for any Adobe products then you already have an Adobe ID. Those without an ID can easily create one within minutes on Adobe's website. There can be an issue if you're using an Adobe ID that has been authorized to work with too many computers or devices. In this instance, an error titled "E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS" may pop up. If you encounter this error, then you need to visit this link, which will take you to an Adobe website that will allow you to reset your ID. Choose Digital Editions from the 'Find A Product' list. Next, select the option that says 'Adobe ID and signing in.' Then, select 'Adobe ID, sign in, and account help.' This will send you to a page with instructions on how to reset your Adobe ID. If you are still having problems resetting your ID, then select the 'Contact Options' tab and then choose 'Chat.' A chat bubble will pop up and an Adobe assistant will help you. 1-3. Find a library. After entering your Adobe ID, you will see a tab on the side that says 'Add a library.' You can search by library name, city/borough, or postal code. OverDrive is not linked to every city in the UK, but most major library consortiums should be connected. 1-4. Sign in. Once you have found your library, you can tap 'sign-in' in the upper right-hand corner where you will be prompted to enter in your library card information. The prompt will ask for your current library identification number as well as a security PIN. You will need to contact your local library if you do not have this information, or if you need to obtain a library card. 2. Checking Out 2-1. Learn how to navigate through the search categories. Now that you're signed into the library system, you will be brought to a page that allows you to search through all of the eBooks your library branch has made available. The book search can be filtered by genres and sub-genres of books, allowing you to easily narrow down your search. 2-2. Refine your search. In addition to genres, you can make your search easier by typing in the title or author of the book. You can search the series name of a book. For example, instead of searching "Sorcerer's Stone," you could search "Harry Potter." You can also tweak the visual aspect of the search by selecting 'cover,' 'grid,' or 'list,' on the top-right next to the search bar. 2-3. Discover more information about the title. Once you have located the book you wish to borrow/check out, click on the book's title and you will be brought to a page specific to the book. This page will list numerous details about the book, including a thorough description, a star rating, how many physical copies are available at the library, its subjects, and other formats it is available in. 2-4. Borrow your book. Look on the upper right side of the book's cover for a black book icon. If that icon is present, then the book is available for check-out. Click the button that says 'Borrow' to start downloading the book onto your Kindle. You also have the option to download a sample chapter for those who want a taste of the content before borrowing it. Remember that you need a Wi-Fi connection in order to download your book. 3. Accessing Your Book 3-1. Find the borrowed book on your Kindle. Go to the home screen and select the book you want to read. This eBook will work the same as any other e-Book on your device. You can switch pages using the buttons on the top left or right of the page, and additional controls on the bottom allow you to change the text size and brightness. 3-2. Listen to your favorite books. OverDrive also allows you to check out audio books from your library. Search for audiobooks using the same search bar you used when browsing books. Click on the audiobook, and look for a black pair of headphones in the upper right corner of the cover artwork. If the headphones are gray, then the audiobook is already checked out and you need to click the 'Place a Hold' button in order reserve it when the audiobook is available. 3-3. Delete a book if you need to save space. OverDrive gives you the option to remove a book from your Kindle without returning it to the library. In order to do this, you need to tap and hold your finger on the title until an option pops up that says 'Remove from Device.' Click this option and the title will be deleted from the device, but you are still free to access it on the 'Archived' tab. 3-4. Find your borrowed books. There is an icon in the upper left corner of your Kindle that has three horizontal bars. Click this icon in order to visit your collection of books that are currently checked out. You will be able to borrow five books at a time, for a maximum length of three weeks. All of the books will be automatically removed from your Kindle after this period. 3-5. Try uninstalling then reinstalling the OverDrive application or Kindle if necessary. Sometimes OverDrive may freeze or stop functioning properly. In this situation you should first try to restart the OverDrive app. To do this, click the "Apps" tab on your home screen. This will allow you to look at all of the applications downloaded on your Kindle. Next, tap while holding the OverDrive icon, which will bring up the option to "Remove From Device." Click "OK" to finally uninstall the app from your Kindle. You may have select "OK" again on the completion screen. To install, go back to the Amazon Appstore, search for OverDrive, and reinstall on your Kindle. 3-6. Use these steps if you receive a "800404c - Invalid fulfillment request" while downloading a title. Find your Web tab on your home screen to open up the web browser. Click on menu, and then click on settings. The menu tab looks like a soccer goal post with three horizontal grey lines inside of it. Next, you will see options to clear all cookie data, cache, history, and form data. Click "OK" next to all of these to confirm that you are clearing them. Download your title again and the error should be removed.

How to Access Windows Files in Ubuntu
1. Steps 1-1. Install gparted (System → Administration → Synaptics Package Manager → search for gparted, mark it for installation and, when it installs, run it from System → Partition Editor). Look for an NTFS partition – it is likely to be the one windows is on. 1-2. Having located the partition, write down the name – it will look something like /dev/hda2 or /dev/sda2, depending if your drives are PATA, SCSI or SATA. Do this carefully – Now check to see if this is the partition by manually mounting it and looking at the files. 1-3. Open a terminal (Application → Accessories → Terminal) and make yourself root by typing sudo -s and pressing enter. You will be prompted for the root password and will then become root. Being root assumes that you know what you are doing – you could easily cause disaster if you make a mistake, so concentrate. Carefully type this line at the prompt and press enter 1-4. Type the prompt. mkdir /mnt/windows 1-5. Replace the name. You may replace /mnt/windows with /mnt/windrv or any other name you prefer. Having created the directory that is going to hold your windows files, type the following command carefully at the prompt and press enter 1-6. Type the command. mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows -o "umask=022" 1-7. Make sure you replace /dev/sda2 with the name of the windows partition you wrote down. Now access the mounted drive and ensure that you can read the files by going to and navigating to . If you can see your files, you are all set. If not, you've mounted the wrong drive, unmount it using , making sure that you use the correct name for your drive. Tips Start a text editor as root by typing gedit /etc/init.d/mountwinfs.sh. Copy the lines below into the text editor and save it as /etc/init.d/mountwinfs.sh. Now, you will probably want to have the computer boot up and automatically mount the windows drive so you can save files back and forth seamlessly. This is easily achieved via a script that loads at startup. The commands in the script will have to be run with root permissions, so you will have to save the file in /etc/init.d. You are going to use the same command you used manually. Most of the other lines in the script are comments. Warnings Always back your important files up before making changes to your system. Leave yourself plenty of time to recover - never do this before a deadline. Always verify your backup before trusting it.

How to Check Your Work Email at Home: 4 Easy Methods
1. Accessing Webmail 1-1. Find out if your workplace uses a web-based email client. These days, many organizations use webmail clients, such as Microsoft Exchange Online or Outlook for the web. If this is the case at your job, then you can easily log into your work email account online using any browser. Contact your IT department if you aren’t sure whether your workplace uses webmail. 1-2. Visit your job’s employee portal or email login page. If your job uses webmail, you may be able to access it by logging into your employee portal or going directly to your job’s email website. The URL will likely be something like . If your workplace uses Microsoft Exchange, you may be able to log into webmail using the Outlook Web App. In this case, the address will look something like . 1-3. Enter your login information. When you visit your workplace’s webmail page, you’ll likely be prompted to log in with your username or work email address and password. If you haven’t already set up a username and password, contact your IT department and ask how to do so. For extra security, some workplaces may require you to use a multi-factor authentication app, such as Duo or Microsoft Authenticator, to log into webmail from home. 2. Forwarding Work Emails 2-1. Check with your IT department to make sure forwarding is allowed. Before you set up forwarding from your work account, check with your workplace to make sure it isn’t against company policy. 2-2. Go into your work email client’s settings. Many email clients allow you to automatically forward messages to another email address. You may be able to forward your work emails to a personal address so that you can view them at home. Email forwarding works differently from one client to another, but in most cases, you can set it up in the menu. For example, in Outlook, one of the most common email clients used by businesses, start the automatic forwarding setup by clicking {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/6\/68\/Android7settings.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/68\/Android7settings.png\/30px-Android7settings.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":30,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of an Android icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} at the top of the page. Then, click (or , if you’re using classic Outlook on the web). Just keep in mind that if you reply to a forwarded email, the recipient will see the address that you’re replying from rather than your work email address. 2-3. Select Forwarding. In the settings menu, look for or something similar. In Outlook, this is located under or . 2-4. Enter your home email address as the forwarding address. Follow the instructions to set up email forwarding. You’ll be prompted to enter the address where you want to receive forwarded messages. You may need to click something like or first. Some email clients, like Gmail and Thunderbird, also allow you to add filters so that only some of your emails are forwarded. 2-5. Save your forwarding settings. Once you’ve set up your preferred forwarding address, save your settings if your email client prompts you to do so. You should now receive work emails at your home or personal email address. 3. Syncing with a Mail App (Desktop or Mobile) 3-1. Find out if your work email is IMAP or POP enabled. Some types of email clients allow you to import your messages into a mail app on any computer or mobile device. The most common methods for accessing email this way are IMAP and POP. Ask your IT department if you can use one of these methods to access your work email at home. These days, IMAP is more common than POP. It’s also better for accessing your email from multiple devices. Emails accessed through POP are downloaded to your device’s storage space and then deleted from the email server, so you can only read them on one device. IMAP emails are stored on a server so you can access them from anywhere. 3-2. Open your favorite email app on your computer or phone. If you can access your work emails through IMAP or POP, you’ll just need to add your account to your preferred email app. You can do this on a desktop or mobile device. You can do this with apps like Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple’s Mail app. 3-3. Choose the option to add a new account. Depending on which app you’re using, there are a variety of ways to add a new account using IMAP or POP. For example: In Outlook for Windows, open the menu and click . In Outlook for Mac, this option is located under . You can find it under in the mobile app. In Thunderbird, select , then . Then, click in the bottom left corner of the window and select . In the Mail app for Mac, open the menu and click , then select the account type. To add an account to the iOS app, open on your iPhone or iPad, select , tap , then tap . 3-4. Select the type of mail server you are using. In many cases, these apps will automatically attempt to set up your email account with IMAP settings. However, you may have to specify whether it’s IMAP or POP. For instance, in Outlook, you may simply be asked to enter your name, your work email address, and your password. But if that doesn’t work, you’ll need to select or . From there, you can select or . In Thunderbird, you’ll be prompted to enter your name, email address, and password, then click . If Thunderbird can’t automatically set up your account, click and select or . In the Apple Mail app, select for your email provider, then select . Enter your name, email address, and password, then tap or . On the next screen, you’ll be prompted to select or . 3-5. Enter the incoming and outgoing email servers. Next, you’ll need to enter the addresses of your work email servers so that your mail client can receive and send messages. You may need to ask your IT department for this information. Typically, the incoming server addresses will look something like or . The outgoing server will be something like . In Outlook, you’ll add the server information in the screen when you choose to configure your account manually. You may also need to enter information like the port number and encryption type for each server. If you’re using Thunderbird, you’ll only be asked to enter the incoming mail server at this point. When you’re done, click to confirm that your settings are correct. You can update the outgoing mail server later by going to . In Apple’s Mail app, you will be prompted to enter the incoming and outgoing mail servers in the same screen where you selected your server type. 3-6. Type in your login information. Finally, you will need to provide your login credentials for your email account. Enter your username (which may be your whole email address or just the first part of it, before the ) and password to sign into your account. Or, if you already entered your email address or username at the beginning of the process, type in your password to finish setting up your email. In Outlook, click after entering your server information, then enter your password. Click to log in. In Thunderbird, you’ll be prompted to enter your email address and password at the beginning of the account configuration process. In the Mail app, you may be asked to enter your username and password on the same screen where you enter the incoming mail server address. 4. Setting Up a Remote Office Connection 4-1. Ask your IT department about using a VPN or virtual office. Some workplaces may allow you to access your work email client and other work applications from home by connecting virtually with your work computer’s desktop. There are a few different ways to do this, but a couple of the most common are with a VPN (virtual private network) or a remote desktop application. 4-2. Install your workplace’s VPN or remote office app. Your job may require you to use a specific remote office app or VPN to access your office computer from home. If so, you can probably download the software you need from your IT department’s website. You may need to install additional security software, such as a multifactor authentication app, to use your login credentials on your home device. 4-3. Enter your workplace’s portal or server information. The right way to set up remote access depends on the type of VPN or virtual office app you’re using. For instance, if you’re connecting over VPN, you’ll probably need to ask your IT department for the server name and address as well as the type of VPN connection your office uses. If you’re using a VPN, you may need to open a browser and visit a particular URL to access your remote desktop. Your IT department should provide the address and login credentials. For remote desktop apps, you’ll probably need to launch the app on your home computer or mobile device, then enter the server and login information provided by your IT department. 4-4. Login to access your work desktop, apps, and email. Once your VPN or other form of remote desktop access is configured, you should be able to open your email app on the virtual desktop and access your work email from there.

5 Ways to Watch YouTube Unblocked on a School Computer
1. Using a Code Bookmark 1-1. Open Google Chrome. You'll need to use a new tab or window. Use this method to bypass restrictions on your school's Chromebook. 1-2. Enable bookmarks If you don't have bookmarks visible, click the three-dots icon in the top-right corner → → . 1-3. Copy the code. You'll need to copy this code to your clipboard: javascript:(function () {if (window.location.toString().includes('www.youtube.com/watch?v%27))%20{%20window.open(%27https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/%27%20+%20window.location.toString().split(%27=%27)[1])%20}})() Make sure you don't add any extra spaces at the beginning or end of the code. 1-4. Right-click the bookmarks toolbar and click Add page…. This will open the page. 1-5. Add a bookmark name. You can do something discreet, or you can label it "Unblock YouTube". 1-6. In the URL field, paste the code. This is the code you copied to your clipboard. 1-7. Click Save. This is the blue button in the bottom-right corner. Your code will be ready to use. 1-8. Search for a video using Google. Enter a YouTuber's name and/or video description, then click the tab. Click the video you want to see. If you have the link to a specific YouTube video, you can paste it into the address bar. When the video is blocked, you'll see: 1-9. While on the video page, click the code bookmark. You'll see this in the bookmarks toolbar with the name you assigned. This will run the code to open the unblocked video in a new tab. 1-10. Play the video. You'll see the video and the play button. Click the play button to view the video. 2. Using Google Translate 2-1. Find the link for the YouTube video. This method involves combining the YouTube video's link with the link for a Google Translate page. 2-2. Open a new tab or window. You'll need to input a special URL to bypass blocked words, phrases, and websites. 2-3. Copy and paste https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u= This will be the first part of your new link. This is the link for a Google Translate page. 2-4. Copy and paste the YouTube video's link into the address bar. Make sure not to replace the existing Google Translate link. You should be combining both links. For example, your full link should look like: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. 2-5. Press ↵ Enter to load your link. You should be able to bypass your school's restrictions as the link begins with "translate.google" rather than "youtube". 3. Using a Proxy Site 3-1. Open a search engine on your computer at home. It's very likely that most proxies are also blocked at your school. Building a list at home will help you find more sites to use. 3-2. Search for "proxy list". A proxy site is a site that fetches the blocked website for you, and displays it through the proxy site. This means that the filter software never actually sees you going to the blocked site (YouTube), just the proxy site. 3-3. Find a website that lists a lot of available proxies. Your search result should list quite a few sites that index available proxy sites. 3-4. Make a list of a dozen proxy sites to try. Your school's network administrators actively block new proxy websites as they appear, meaning that a large number of the sites you find will already not work. Grab sites from multiple different proxy lists. 3-5. Email the list to yourself or write it down. You just need to be able to access your list from the school's computer. 3-6. Visit the first site on your list. If it is blocked, move on to the next site until you find one that is unblocked. 3-7. Enter youtube.com into the URL field. Click the button to open the site. 3-8. Wait for YouTube to load. A proxy will increase the time it takes for sites to load since the traffic has to be routed through the proxy server. This means videos will take longer than normal to play. Also, make sure that your proxy doesn't block scripts, or else YouTube won't load. 4. Using Your Phone as a Wireless Hotspot 4-1. Understand which phones can do this. You will need a smartphone with tethering enabled through the carrier. Many 3G plans in the US allow tethering automatically. Using your phone as the network connection will bypass any restrictions placed on the school network. 4-2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or Android. With most devices, this looks like a cog icon. 4-3. Open the Portable Hotspot/Tethering section. Android: Tap "More" in the "Wireless & Networks" section. Tap "Tethering & portable hotspot". iOS: Tap "Personal Hotspot". 4-4. Turn on your phone's hotspot. Android: Check the "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" box. iOS: Toggle the "Personal Hotspot" toggle on. 4-5. Get the wireless password. Android: Tap "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot". Check the "Show password" box. iOS: Tap "Wi-Fi Password". 4-6. Connect to the hotspot on the computer. Click the computer's wireless network icon and select your mobile phone from the list of available networks. Enter the password to connect to the network. 4-7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB (optional). Do this if your computer doesn't have wireless. After connecting your phone to the computer, you should be able to select it by clicking on the network icon in your system tray (Windows) or menubar (Mac). 5. Finding Alternative Video Sites 5-1. Find an alternate portal. For educational videos, sites such as TeacherTube, SchoolTube, and safeshare.tv offer alternatives to YouTube. These sites are often unblocked by school networks, as the content is monitored and is all educational. If your teachers use any alternative services, use those to reduce the risk of being caught on web monitoring services. Use one with an SSL certificate. To tell if a website has an SSL certificate, its URL should say https rather than http, or there is a green padlock icon next to the URL. This allows encryption to prevent being caught if the internet you are using is monitored. 5-2. Search for your video using a search engine. Look for the video hosted on a site other than YouTube. There's a chance that this site will not be blocked by the network. Be careful when visiting unknown sites, as some contain viruses and other malware. Some other options that may preserve your privacy are duckduckgo.com or startpage.com Warnings Many school administrators will view using proxies as misuse of school computers and you will most likely face punishment if caught.

Most schools and organizations restrict access to YouTube and other websites. However, there are some ways to bypass these blocks.

How to Access Your Bank Account Online
1. Registering with Your Bank’s Online Banking Service 1-1. Go to your bank’s website. All the major banks and practically all of the minor banks offer online banking services. Open your web browser on your computer and visit your bank’s website. 1-2. Select “online banking." Browse the homepage of your bank’s website and click on the link that says “online banking." If you don't see the words "online banking" specifically, just look for the button that says "login." 1-3. Register for an account. Click either the “enroll” or “sign up” buttons on the homepage to go to the registration section. Enter your basic bank information like your name, email address, billing address and bank account number. Some banks require more information. Be prepared to provide the date of your last deposit, or your mother's maiden name. You need to have an existing bank account before you can register for the online banking. 1-4. Choose your primary account. If you have multiple accounts in one bank, you'll need to choose which one you’ll use as your primary online bank account for the service. You can add or remove your other accounts once you've finished signing up If you only have one account, that account will continue to be your primary account by default. The more accounts you have linked to online banking, the more easily you'll be able to pay bills online, track spending, and transfer money between accounts. 2. Activating Your Service 2-1. Go to your bank. Some banks will only activate your account if you verify your identity in person. If this is the case with your bank, go to the nearest branch of your bank and speak to the representative that handles online banking services. Provide the username/email address and password you used to register and they will activate the service on their system. 2-2. Activate your online banking service over the phone. Some banks let you activate your online banking service by calling their customer service department and talking to a representative. You will need to provide identifying information such as your Social Security or driver's license number. 2-3. Activate your account at an ATM. Some banks will also let you activate your service at an ATM. The procedure isn't as standardized for ATM activations, so just follow the instructions specific to your bank. You can find them online after you've completed online banking registration. 2-4. Activate your account online. If your bank allows and you prefer, you can activate your online bank account online. If your bank does allow this, you'll either need to create a username or use one provided by your bank (an account number, for instance) you created along with a password. It's best to create a password that isn't easily guessable. Use a combination or capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. When you activate your account, a lot of banks will have you create (or answer) security questions. These are special questions created by you or the bank which will have answers unique to you, such as the name of your high school mascot or the color of your first car. 3. Accessing Your Bank Account Online 3-1. Go to your bank’s website. Whenever you want to access your account, all you have to do is open your web browser and visit your bank’s website. After the page loads, look for the tab or button that says “online banking." Click the link that says “online banking” or "login" to access your account. 3-2. Sign in. Enter your online banking username/email address and password on the text field provided and click the “Sign In” or “Log In” button. If you can't remember your password, follow the password reset link below the text box. 3-3. Wait for the site to open your account. You should be able to see all your account details like available balances, recent transactions and pending payments. 3-4. Add a mobile app. Almost all banks, large and small, will have a mobile app. Once you've gotten comfortable with online banking, download your bank's mobile banking app. Although the mobile interface might be a little different than the desktop interface, you'll login just like normal. Using the mobile apps allows you the freedom of being able to access your account anywhere you have a mobile data connection. 3-5. Use your account at your convenience. Online banking is convenient not only because of portability, but because it allows you to do things like transfer money between accounts, set up online bill pay, or monitor the posting of a deposit. If you find yourself confused by any online banking features, most banks and credit unions have chat assistance to guide you every step of the way. Tips Avoid accessing your bank online while you’re connected to a public network (like the free Wi-Fi on coffee shops) or using a public computer. Make sure that no one else knows your online banking credentials like your username and password to prevent any unwanted access.

How to Access Your Computer from Your iPhone
1. Using TeamViewer 1-1. Install TeamViewer on your iPhone. TeamViewer is free for personal use but offers a paid version for businesses. This app is often used by tech companies for hands-on support to make changes to your computer while you watch. It is compatible both on Windows and Mac. Open the App Store app and search for TeamViewer using the Search icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap on TeamViewer from the results to open its page, and tap “Get” on the right side of your screen to download and install TeamViewer. 1-2. Register on TeamViewer. Open the TeamViewer app, which opens to a welcome screen, and tap the Computers & Contacts icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap “New account” on the right. Complete the 3 fields with your name, email address, and a password containing any combination of alphanumeric characters. 1-3. Install the TeamViewer companion app on your computer. The companion app must be installed on all computers you want to access with your iPhone. Both apps work in tandem to control your computer securely. Using the computer you want to control, open any browser and visit teamviewer.com/en/download/. Once on the download page, select the OS needed (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and download TeamViewer. Install it by clicking the downloaded file. 1-4. Log into TeamViewer on the computer. Open TeamViewer and click “Computers & Contacts” at the bottom of the window. A pop-up window will open just to the right of the main app. Here, input your TeamViewer account credentials by typing your registered email and password into the pop-up window, then click “Sign In.” Once you’re logged in, just minimize TeamViewer; it will start automatically with your computer and run in the background. Repeat the steps to install and log into TeamViewer on each computer you want to control with your iPhone. 1-5. Create a personal password for each computer you want to control. A security password is not required, but it helps prevent unwanted access to your computers. You’ll be required to enter the password each time you attempt to control your computer. Open TeamViewer on each computer you want to control. Go to Extras >> Options >> Security. Create a personal password to be used when logging into each computer. Your password can be any combination of characters. Do not use your TeamViewer credentials. 1-6. Control your devices. Now that everything is set up, it’s time to control one of the computers you configured for remote access. You will be able to perform all functions as if you were sitting in front of the computer being controlled. Open the TeamViewer app on iPhone and log into your account if prompted. Click the Computers icon at the bottom of your screen, and log into your account. Click the My Computers icon to view a list of all your computers. They will be listed by name. Click the Remote Control icon to the right of the computer you want to control. The icon looks like two arrows, one pointing left and the other pointing right. Enter the Personal Password for the computer you are accessing. Click the keyboard icon at the bottom right of your screen to access zoom, settings, and a virtual keyboard. Access files, programs, and operate your computer with touch commands as if you were sitting in front of it. Disconnect from your remote computer by clicking the X icon on the lower left to close the connection. 2. Using Chrome Remote Desktop 2-1. Open a Chrome browser on your computer. If your computer doesn’t have a Chrome browser yet, you can visit google.com/chrome to download it. 2-2. Log into your Google account. Do this by clicking the blue “Sign In” button on the top right and entering your Google username, or email address, and password into the given boxes. Click “Sign in” to proceed. If you don’t have a Google account, create one since you will be needing it to access your computer later. 2-3. Install Chrome Remote Desktop on your Chrome browser. Chrome Remote Desktop is completely free to use; however, it runs as an extension of the Chrome browser. Chrome Remote Desktop runs both on Windows and Mac computers. You must install the Chrome Remote Desktop on all computers you’d like to control with your iPhone. On the Chrome browser, open its Web Store and search for Chrome Remote Desktop. Click the “Add to Chrome” button, which is located near the top right of your computer screen, and then click “Add App” on the pop-up window. 2-4. Enable Remote Connections. Launch Chrome Remote Desktop by clicking the green “Launch App” button near the upper right of your screen. Click the “Authorize” button at the lower part of the next pop-up window, and then click “Allow” on the following screen. Click the “Get Started” button under the My Computers heading, and then click the “Enable Remote Connections” button. Create a PIN of 6 digits or more. This will be used each time you log into your remote computer. Click “Yes” on the popup window that asks if you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer. Click “OK” to confirm that remote connections have been enabled. 2-5. Install the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your iPhone. This step is the same as installing any other app on your iPhone. Open the App Store app, and search for Chrome Remote Desktop using the search bar. Click the “Get” button to the right of the app’s icon, then click “Install.” 2-6. Control your computer with your iPhone. With Google Remote Desktop configured and installed on both your iPhone and all computers you’d like to control, it’s time to access those computers with your iPhone. You will be able to perform all computer functions as if sitting at your computer. Open the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your iPhone, and log into your Google account. Select any of the computers you configured for remote access; they will be listed by their computer name. Once you’ve selected a computer, enter its 6 digit PIN, then click “Connect.” Now you can control your computer with your iPhone using touch commands. Tap the command buttons at the top right of your screen. There are icons and buttons for a virtual mouse, a virtual keyboard, full screen mode, and Help & Feedback. Access programs, files, and functions as if you are sitting in front of your computer. Disconnect from the remote connection by clicking the X on the top left, and minimize the app on your iPhone by pressing the Home button when finished. Tips When accessing your computer from the iPhone, you can tilt the iPhone to landscape mode for better viewing. The quality and speed of your remote connections will depend on the speed of the computer being accessed and the stability of your iPhone’s data connection. If your computer is slow to respond, try running only one function at a time and minimize the number of apps running in the background.

How to Access Your Computer if You Have Forgotten the Password
1. Changing a Microsoft Account Password Online 1-1. Know when to use this method. If you have a Windows 10 computer that uses a Microsoft account (e.g., an email address) to log in, you can reset your password from online. You'll need to do this from a different computer. 1-2. Open the Windows 10 password reset support page. This is where Microsoft keeps updated links to their password reset resources. 1-3. Click Reset your password page. It's a link in step 1 of the "Online" section. 1-4. Check the "I forgot my password" box. You'll find it near the top of the form. 1-5. Click Next. This blue button is at the bottom of the form. 1-6. Enter your email address. Type in the email address for the account for which you want to reset the password. 1-7. Enter the letters from the puzzle. In the text box below the jumble of letters, type in what you see in the box. Remember, the letters in the box are case-sensitive. 1-8. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. 1-9. Select a recovery option. Check either the "Text" box or the "Email" box. Depending on the recovery options you set up for your account, you may have only one of these options. 1-10. Enter the recovery phone number or email address. If you chose the "Text" option, you'll type in the last four digits of your recovery phone number; otherwise, you'll type in the full email address that's partially starred out. 1-11. Click Send code. It's at the bottom of the page. 1-12. Retrieve and enter the code. Depending on the recovery option you selected, do one of the following: Text — Open your phone's Messages app, open the text from Microsoft, review the code in the text message, and type the code into the text box on your computer. Email — Open your recovery email address' inbox, open the email from Microsoft, review the code in the email, and type the code into the text box on your computer. 1-13. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. 1-14. Enter your new password. Type whatever you want your new password to be into both text boxes on the page. Your password must have at least 8 characters. 1-15. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. As long as your passwords match each other, you should now be able to log into your Windows 10 account by entering the password you just set. 2. Changing a Microsoft Account Password on Your Computer 2-1. Know when to use this method. If you have a Windows 10 computer that uses a Microsoft account (e.g., an email address) to log in, you can reset your password using the "I forgot my password" feature on the Lock Screen. If you don't have access to the computer right now, you can also change your password online. 2-2. Start your computer. If your computer's login screen isn't up, press the "Power" {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png\/30px-Windowspower.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":30,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} button on your computer to turn it on. 2-3. Open the login screen. Either click anywhere on the screen or press the spacebar to bring up the password entry field. 2-4. Click I forgot my password. This link should appear near the bottom of the screen. If there's a PIN text box instead, you'll first have to click and then click the horizontal bar icon which appears. 2-5. Enter the letters from the puzzle. In the text box below the jumble of letters, type in what you see in the box. Remember, the letters in the box are case-sensitive. 2-6. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. 2-7. Select a recovery option. Check either the "Text" box or the "Email" box. Depending on the recovery options you set up for your account, you may have only one of these options. 2-8. Enter the recovery phone number or email address. If you chose the "Text" option, you'll type in the last four digits of your recovery phone number; otherwise, you'll type in the full email address that's partially starred out. 2-9. Click Send code. It's at the bottom of the page. 2-10. Retrieve and enter the code. Depending on the recovery option you selected, do one of the following: Text — Open your phone's Messages app, open the text from Microsoft, review the code in the text message, and type the code into the text box on your computer. Email — Open your recovery email address' inbox, open the email from Microsoft, review the code in the email, and type the code into the text box on your computer. 2-11. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. 2-12. Enter your new password. Type whatever you want your new password to be into both text boxes on the page. Your password must have at least 8 characters. 2-13. Click Next. It's at the bottom of the page. Doing so will reset your password to the one you just entered. 2-14. Click Next again to return to the login screen. At this point, you can enter your new password to log in. 3. Changing a Windows 10 Password with Command Prompt 3-1. Understand when you can use this method. If you have a local account for which you can't remember the password, you can use Command Prompt to create a new administrator account which you can then use to change the password on your original account. Unfortunately, you can't use this method to reset the password for a Microsoft account-linked user. If you have access to a Windows 10 administrator account but not the local account, you can use the administrator account to reset the password instead. 3-2. Create a Windows 10 installation USB drive. In order to access the setup screen, you'll need to run the initial phase of the Windows 10 installation process; to do this, you can create an installation USB drive: Go to http://microsoft.com/software-download/windows10 in your computer's web browser. Click Plug an 8 gigabyte (or larger) flash drive into your computer. Double-click the downloaded tool file. Follow the prompts, making sure to select your flash drive as the installation location. 3-3. Access your computer's BIOS page. Restart your computer by clicking {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png\/30px-Windowspower.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":30,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} and clicking , then begin pressing your computer's BIOS key as soon as the screen goes black. Your computer's BIOS key will change depending on your computer's motherboard, so you may have to look up the key for your computer's model. Common keys include the "Function" keys (e.g., F12), the Esc key, and the Del key. If your computer finishes restarting to the lock screen, you'll need to restart and try a different key. 3-4. Change your computer's boot order. To do so: Find the "Boot Order" or "Advanced" tab. Select your flash drive's name (or the "USB" option) using the arrow keys. Move the flash drive up to the top of the list by pressing the + key. 3-5. Save and exit the BIOS. Press the "Save and Exit" key as specified by the key legend that's either on the right side of the screen or at the bottom of the screen. You may be prompted to confirm this decision before proceeding. 3-6. Open Command Prompt. Once you reach the setup screen, press ⇧ Shift+F10 (or ⇧ Shift+Fn+F10 on some computers) to bring up a Command Prompt window. If your computer goes to the login screen instead of the setup screen, click {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Windowspower.png\/30px-Windowspower.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":30,"bigHeight":30,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_domain\">Public Domain<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}, click , and wait for the setup screen to appear.

How to Access Your Inventory in Fable 3
1. Steps 1-1. Bring up the Sanctuary. To do so, press the "Start" button on the Xbox 360 controller or the "Escape" key on the PC keyboard. 1-2. Go through one of the doors with an icon that matches which type of items you want to view. There is the weapon and magic room, the style room, the trophy room, and the online room. The weapon and magic room is marked by a "crossed sword and gun" icon. Here, you can view and equip the different guns, swords, hammers, and magic powers that you've acquired in your travels. The style room is marked by a "clothing hangar" icon. Here, you can view and change your outfit, hairstyle, and tattoos.

How to Access Your Work Computer from Home
1. Setting Up VPN on your Work Computer 1-1. Request to have remote access to your work computer. Many companies require permission to access the VPN. Call your IT (Information Technology) department or visit the IT website of your company to apply for access. Depending on the nature of your job and your company's Internet security policies, the IT department might be able to assist you immediately. If the IT department requires supervisor permission, contact your supervisor and have him/her make the request on your behalf. You will probably need to provide your username and password to request access. 1-2. Install VPN software on your work computer. Virtual private network software needs to be installed on to your work machine so that you can work from home. Go to your IT website for the link to download the software and the instructions. Installation is usually self-guided. VPN software instructions may be different for Mac and Windows users. Make sure you are reading the correct instructions for your operating system. If the IT department does not configure your work machine for you, the technicians may give you instructions for configuring your computer yourself. Call or email your company's help desk if you have trouble with the install or configuration. 1-3. Connect to the VPN. Once the VPN software is installed, you may need to activate the VPN. On a PC, Go to , and then find the name of the VPN software you installed. Double click the VPN client to open. You may be prompted to enter your username and password. This will vary based on your company policies. If you are using a Mac, go to your "Applications" folder and click on the VPN software you installed. Your VPN may automatically connect after it is installed. Read the installation instructions or contact your IT department. 1-4. Enable Remote Desktop on your work computer. Remote Desktop allows other computers to connect to your work computer. For Windows users, click on . Check the box that says "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer." Write down the full name of your work computer. You will need this later when you connect from home. The name of your computer should be listed under the box you checked. If you are a Mac user, you can go to the Mac App Store and download "Microsoft Remote Desktop" 1-5. Leave your work computer on when you leave for the day. Your work computer needs to be connected to the network in order to be accessible to a remote computer. Launch the remote access software on your work computer, if required. It depends on how your IT department has configured your network. 1-6. Check the system requirements of your home computer. Before you install the VPN software on your computer, make sure that your home computer meets the system requirements. The requirements will vary based on your company. Typical requirements include an up-to-date operating system and a certain amount of RAM (hard disk space). Requirements will differ for Mac and Windows users. System requirements are usually available on the IT website. If you have questions about the system requirements, call or email your IT department. 1-7. Download the VPN client software to your home computer. Load the VPN client software to your home computer just as you did to your work computer. The installation process is usually self-guided. Make sure you follow the directions. If you run into problems,your IT department may have you bring your computer into the office to install and configure the software. If your IT department does not install the software for you, the technicians might give you the software to take home along with installation and configuration instructions. Call or email your company's help desk if you have trouble with the install or configuration. 1-8. Launch the VPN client software on your home computer. On a PC, Go to , and then find the name of the VPN software you installed. Double click the VPN client to open. You may be prompted to enter your username and password. If you are using a Mac, go to your "Applications" folder and click on the VPN software you installed. 1-9. Access the Remote Desktop on your home computer. You must now access the Remote Desktop on your home to computer to connect to your computer at work. If you are a Windows use, go to . Once you have reached the Remote Desktop, type in the name of your work computer then press "Connect." You should now be connected to your work computer and able to work from home. You must be logged into the VPN before connecting through Remote Desktop. If you are using a Mac, download "Microsoft Remote Desktop." If you have trouble locating your work computer on the network, contact your company's help desk. 1-10. Know that your home computer may be slower than your work computer. The speed of your VPN connection depends on the speed of your internet connection speed at home. The faster your network speed, the faster your VPN connection will be. Keep in mind that information that you send and receive is encrypted. The encryption process slows things down as well. 1-11. Do not use your VPN for personal web surfing. Your company can see all of your web activity when you use a VPN. It is not a good practice to conduct personal web browsing over VPN. You do not want to get in trouble at work. Simply minimize the Remote Desktop window if you need to do something personal. 2. Getting Remote Access without an IT Department 2-1. Try a service like Chrome Remote Desktop. If your company does not have an IT department or a VPN, you can still securely access and share information between computers. Chrome Remote Desktop is a free app that can be used by both Windows and Mac users. If you are not already using Google Chrome, you will need to download Google Chrome web browser before you can use this application. 2-2. Install Chrome Remote Desktop on the computers you would like to connect. Go to the Chrome Web Store to download the app. Click the blue " + Add to Chrome " button that is in the upper right corner of the window. Click "Add" when prompted. 2-3. Authorize Chrome Remote Desktop. The first time you open the app, you will be required to authorize it. Authorization allows the app to see your email address, your Chrome Remote Desktop computers, and to send and receive chat messages which will allow the computers to talk to each other. You should not be asked to authorize the app every time you use it. 2-4. Enable remote access to your computer. Create a Google Account if you do not already have one. Open a new tab in Google Chrome, click "Apps" under the Chrome search bar, and open the Chrome Remote Desktop app. In the "My Computers" box, click "Get Started," and then click "enable remote connections." You will then need to Install the Chrome Remote Host Service. If you are using Windows, enter a PIN (that you choose) and then click "Yes" to install the host service. The host service will download and install automatically. After it has been installed, confirm your Google Account and enter your PIN again. The computer that you enabled should now be listed under "My Computers." You will need administrative privileges to install the host service on the computer. If you are using a Mac, Chrome will begin the downloading an installation .dmg. Click "Save," and then click "chrome remote desktop.dmg" in the download bar. Use your Finder to locate and then double click the "Chrome Remote Desktop.mpkg." Follow all of the prompts to complete the installation, and then return to Chrome and click "OK." Enter and confirm your PIN and click "OK." A systems preference dialog will appear, and you will need to confirm your account and PIN. When you are finished, "Remote connections for this computer have been enabled" should appear. Click "OK" and the computer you enabled should be under "My Computers" now. 2-5. Access your computer. The computer you are accessing needs to be turned on and connected to the internet. Open a new tab in Google Chrome, click "Apps," and open the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Click "Get Started" in the "My Computers" box and choose the computer you want to access. Enter the PIN you set up for the computer and click "Connect." To end the remote session, place your mouse in the top center of the page, click the drop-down bar, and click "Disconnect." 2-6. Share your computer with someone else. You can share your computer with a coworker or friend if the Chrome Remote Desktop app is installed on his or her computer. Open the app on your computer, click the "Remote Assistance" box, and click the "Share" button. You will receive a unique access code that you can share with the other person. Once the other person enters the code, he or she is able to see your computer screen. The access code can only be used for one sharing session. Click "Stop sharing" or press "Ctrl+Alt+Esc" (Mac: Opt+Ctrl+Esc) to end the session. Be careful if you are sharing with another person. He or she will have access to all of your files, email, and applications on your computer. Tips If your company does not grant you access, or if the network is not set up for remote access, you will not be able to access your work computer from home. Warnings Do not attempt to access your company's network or your work computer without the knowledge of your IT department or your company's consent.

How to Access a Blocked Email Account
1. Accessing a Password-Blocked Email Account 1-1. Go to your email provider. First, launch a web browser and visit the login page of your email account provider like Yahoo, Google or Outlook. 1-2. Click the “Forgot Password” link. On the login page you’ll see a link or a button labeled “Forgot Password.” Click this link or button and you’ll be directed to a Password Recovery page. 1-3. Provide an alternate email address. On the Password Recover page, enter an alternate email address where the service provider can send a temporary password, which you can use to access the blocked email account. It can be from the same email provider or from another. 1-4. Prove your identity. Before the email provider gives you a temporary password, you need to prove you are the owner of the account you’re trying to access. Fill out a personal information sheet about the account like your contact lists, emails addresses you recently sent an email to, name of folders you created inside, and/or answer your security question. Your answers will be evaluated and once you’ve been verified to be the owner of the account, you’ll receive the temporary password on the alternate email address you provided. 1-5. Set your new password. Access your blocked account using the temporary password sent to you. You’ll be immediately required to set a new one. Enter the new password you like to use in your account and make sure to remember it well this time. 2. Accessing Accounts Block by the Service Provider 2-1. Go to your email provider. To do this, open a web browser and visit the login page of your email account. 2-2. Click on the Help link. On the login page, you’ll find a link labeled “Help.” Click this link and you’ll be redirected to the email provider’s help section. 2-3. Look for the contact information of the site’s customer service department. Most sites can be reached by filling out a request form from the help section describing your concern in detail and providing an alternate email address where they can reply back to you. Once your request gets processed, you’ll be contacted by a representative to start handling your concern. You can also call the customer service department if the number has been provided in the help section. This method is faster but is not advisable for people who are residing from another country or region. 2-4. Follow the instructions that the representative will give you. In most cases, they will just unblock your email account from their end, but you still need to do some stuff like creating a new password. Do what the representative tells you and you should be able to access your blocked email account again. 3. Accessing Blocked Company Emails 3-1. Contact the IT department. Call your company’s IT personnel and state your concern. 3-2. Wait for the instructions that the IT personnel will give to you. Typically, they will be ones who will unblock and put your account back to normal operation again. But you still need to do some work, like resetting and creating a new password—only when the IT personnel tell you to. Tips Normally, an email account’s inbox blocked by other reasons, like inability to settle balances required to maintain the service or any monetary reasons, can still be accessed, but you won’t be able to send or receive new messages. Different webmail services have varying policies on blocking email accounts. Make sure to read these terms prior to signing up, and make sure to follow it after to avoid any possible security or access issues in the future. Service providers have the capacity to detect if your account has been accessed by keeping records of your login sessions, including the IP addresses where your account has been accessed. If the server detects that your email was accessed on two different locations at the same time or under a short period (assuming it’s impossible to travel the distance between the places for the short amount of time), it will be blocked by the server to avoid further unwanted access.

How to Access a Linksys Router
1. Steps 1-1. Locate a Linksys router's default gateway for Windows users. The device's default gateway address will need to be located so that you can gain access the web interface for the router. Open the start menu and type "cmd" into the search field, located just below the All Programs menu. The command screen will open on the desktop. Type "ipconfig" into the command screen to pull up the device's configuration information. The router's default gateway will be listed near the top of the command screen, underneath the subnet mask. The default gateway address has been determined. 1-2. Determine a Linksys router's default gateway for Mac OS X users. Click the Apple icon on the menu bar and select System Preferences. The network menu will open. Select Internet & Wireless. Click the Advanced button in the network dialogue box and open the TCP/IP tab to view the network configuration settings. Record the default gateway address and exit the dialogue box. The default gateway has been located. 1-3. Access a Linksys router via the web interface with the default gateway address. Type the default gateway address into the Internet browser's address bar and press enter. The device's web interface will open. Use the default username and password if prompted. The default username and password will vary depending on the device being used and the Internet service provider. However, in most cases, the default user name will be "admin" and the password will also be "admin." In some cases, the default user name has been set to "Administration" and no password has been set. Enter the device's default username and password if prompted when attempting to access the router. Try pressing enter immediately after entering the default user name. If prompted again for a username and password, type "admin" in both the username and password fields and press enter again. 1-4. Reset the password on a Linksys router. If a prior password has been set and lost, you can reset the router so that the default username and password can be used to access the device's web interface. Use a paper clip to press and hold the recessed reset button located on the back of the router for 30 seconds to complete the password reset. Tips It is recommended that the router's current settings be backed up prior to making any changes to the device's configuration settings. From the Linksys web interface, click the Administration tab and select Configuration Management from the menu options. Click Back Up to save the file (Config.bin) to a location on your computer's hard drive.

How to Access a Router
1. Finding the Router's Address (Windows) 1-1. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. Once your computer is on the router's network, you can use your computer's settings to determine the router's address, which will in turn allow you to open the router's settings. If your wireless connection isn't working properly, you canconnect directly to the router. 1-2. Open Start . Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. 1-3. Click Settings . It's in the bottom-left side of the Start window. 1-4. Click Network & Internet. This globe-shaped icon is on the Settings page. 1-5. Click View your network properties. It's near the bottom of the page, though you may have to scroll down to see this option. 1-6. Note the number next to the "Default gateway" heading. This is the router's address, which you'll use to access the router's settings online. If you have Windows, you can also try this to access your router's IP address—hit the Windows logo key and the "R" key, or open up the "Start" menu and type "CMD." When the command box pops up, type in "IPCONFIG." If you have a Mac, hit 3 keys at once—"Shift-Command-U"—to find your router's IP address. When the "Utilities" folder opens up, type "IPCONFIG" and scroll through all the IP addresses until you see the one next to your router's name. Your router's IP address is similar to a street address—it routes (sends) data from its IP address to another router's IP address, just like a post office worker sends a letter from one place to another. 2. Finding the Router's Address (Mac) 2-1. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet. Once your computer is on the router's network, you can use your computer's settings to determine the router's address, which will in turn allow you to open the router's settings. If your wireless connection isn't working properly, you can connect directly to the router. 2-2. Open the Apple menu . It's in the top-left corner of your Mac's screen. 2-3. Click System Preferences. This option is near the top of the Apple drop-down menu. 2-4. Click Network. It's a globe-shaped icon on the System Preferences page. 2-5. Click Advanced. This button is in the middle of the page. 2-6. Click the TCP/IP tab. You'll find it near the top of the Advanced window. 2-7. Note the number next to the '"Router:" heading. This is the router's address, which you'll use to access the router's settings online. 3. Accessing the Router's Settings (Windows and Mac) 3-1. Open a web browser. To access your router's settings, you'll need to go online. 3-2. Enter your router's address. Type the router's address into your browser's address bar and press ↵ Enter. This will take you to your router's page. 3-3. Enter your router's username and password if prompted. If you haven't set up your router's username and password, you'll likely use "admin" for the username and "password" for the password. Consult your router's manual for more information about the default username and password. If you did change your router's password and/or username but you don't remember what it is, you can reset your router to restore the factory settings. 3-4. Review your router's settings. Each router's page will differ slightly, but you can usually find the following information on every router's page: - View your router's settings, from the password and the current connection strength to the type of security your connection uses. - Your network's name. This is the name that you and others see when connecting to the Wi-Fi. - View a list of any devices connected to your network, as well as recently connected devices. - Review your router's parental settings, such as time limits for devices or blocked sites. 3-5. Change your wireless network's name. Editing the "SSID" field will change the name of the wireless network. Keep in mind that doing this will cause any connected devices to lose the connection, and you'll have to reconnect them to the newly-named network. You'll usually have to open your router's Settings page to do this. 3-6. Secure your wireless network. Most modern routers support multiple kinds of wireless encryption. Use WPA2 to ensure that your network key will remain secure. If you change the password, use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid basing your password on personal information (e.g., your date of birth). Updating your password will also stop someone from accessing your router if you don't want them on your network. 3-7. Assign your router a new username and password. You will use this the next time you access the router. The default name and password for your router is very unsecure, as anyone that is connected to your network can easily enter the settings and compromise the security of your network. If you think you have ongoing security issues, you can temporarily disable your Wi-Fi network by logging into your router's dashboard and disabling network mode. Tips Your router's interface will look different than other routers, especially depending on your wireless Internet provider's settings. Be prepared to explore your router's page. Warnings Be careful about editing router settings. If you don't know what a setting does, it's best to leave the setting alone.

How to Access a U Verse Router
1. Connecting to the Network 1-1. Find the Wi-Fi network name and password on the side of your U-verse router. To access the router's settings, you will need to use a computer (or mobile device with a web browser) connected to the router's network. Start by determining the name and password of the U-verse Wi-Fi access point. The name of the Wi-Fi access point is printed next to “Wi-Fi Network Name”. It begins with either “ATT” or “2WIRE”. The password is directly below the network name, next to “Wi-Fi Password”. 1-2. Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network. The process is different depending on the type of computer you are using. Mac: Click the Airport (Wi-Fi) icon in the menu bar, then choose the Wi-Fi Network Name from the side of your router. When prompted, enter the Wi-Fi password. Windows: Click the Wi-Fi icon at the bottom right corner of the screen, then select the Wi-Fi Network Name from the list. Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted. If you can’t connect to Wi-Fi, run an Ethernet cable from your computer’s networking port to the LAN port on the router. The computer should then automatically connect to the network. 1-3. Open a web browser on the computer. Any browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) will do. 1-4. Type http://192.168.1.254 into the address bar, then press ↵ Enter. This will load the router's web interface. Depending on your router model, you may arrive at a password screen, or you may be brought to a page with a list of settings. If the configuration page does not load, see these troubleshooting tips. 1-5. Enter the system password if prompted. Most U-verse routers do not have a standard router password. If your model does display a page that asks for a system password, look on the side of the router for a sticker that contains the text “System Password” (NOT the Wi-Fi password), and enter that. If a system password is required yet there is no “system password” printed on your router, try leaving the field blank. If none of the passwords work, call AT&T for support or reset the router back to its original factory settings. 1-6. Browse through your router’s web interface. Now that you have arrived at the web interface, you have full access to your router. The layout of the settings screens varies depending on your model of U-verse router. 2. Troubleshooting 2-1. Remove the power cable from the back of the router and leave it unplugged for thirty seconds. If you are unable to connect to your U-verse router over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the device may need to be restarted. After waiting thirty seconds, plug the router back in and give it time to start up, then try to connect. 2-2. Find your router’s IP address. If you are unable to pull up the router’s web interface by plugging in the default address (http://192.168.1.254), the default address may have been inadvertently changed. Windows: Press ⊞ Win+R, type cmd and press ↵ Enter. Type ipconfig and press ↵ Enter. The address next to Default Gateway is the address you should use to connect to the router. Mac: Open the Apple menu and select "System Preferences". Click "Network", then select your active network connection. The "Router" address entry indicates the address of your router. 2-3. Press and hold the “Reset” button on the router for 15 seconds to restore it to factory settings. If the login information is not working or the connection times out, resetting the router could fix the problem. You may need to use the end of a paperclip to press the button, as it’s quite small. Resetting the router will erase any configuration changes you have made. The wireless network name and password will change back to the one printed on the router's label. Call AT&T for help. If you’re still not able to access your router, you may be experiencing a hardware issue. Call technical support for additional troubleshooting tips. Tips It is not possible to change the DNS settings on your U-verse router.[5] X Research source If you need to change the DNS settings, you will need to either change them on your computer (which will override the router settings) or connect a different router to your U-verse gateway. To change the system password for your router, connect to the web interface, then click “Top Networking Features.” From there, select “System Password,” then enter your desired password in the blanks.[6] X Research source

How to Access the Deep Web
1. Deep Web Search Engines Many websites have search engines built into them, which allow you to find information on the site that isn't indexed by Google or Bing. The information you find on a website's internal search engine is part of the Deep Web. Millions of websites have their own search engines, but here are a few that you may find interesting: has a searchable index of bills, laws, and congressional records. lets you search for copyright information. indexes nearly 4 million newspapers. of more than 500,000 academic essays is searchable. is even a Deep Web search engine—you can find lots of users, groups, and Pages that aren't indexed by mainstream search engines. 2. Access the Deep Web at Archive.org Find archived websites that no longer exist. The is an amazing Deep Web tool that lets you view websites that no longer exist, as well as older versions of websites that exist now. For example, if you search for Facebook.com, you can see what Facebook's homepage looked like in 2006. Not all websites are archived by the WayBack Machine—some webmasters prefer their sites not be indexed and are able to opt out. 3. Deep Web Access via Academic Databases and Archives Academic databases and archives are some of the most interesting parts of the Deep Web. There are plenty of great databases that contain peer-reviewed and other academic data that isn't completely searchable in Google or Bing, including: indexes a variety of multidisciplinary academic articles and citations. indexes articles about biomedical topics. Some of what is on PubMed is indexed by Google, but you can browse and search the website for difficult-to-find articles. lets you search peer-reviewed academic journal articles and e-books about the humanities. is another humanities-focused resource curated by humans who share helpful and interesting Deep Web content. requires a subscription for most people, but if you're a student, you may already have one. This tool is invaluable for finding information from magazines, news articles, and even individuals' public records. is home to hundreds of manuscripts, photos, videos, articles, and other historical information you won't find in Google. Most regional libraries have extensive websites available for members. As a library card holder, you can search dozens to hundreds of databases that you won't find anywhere on the internet. This includes genealogical information, local news archives, public directories, oral histories, and much more. 4. Other Deep Web Tools Use Deep Web tools to look up information. As you can now see, anything behind a paywall, username and password, or CAPTCHA is technically the Deep Web. What you might not realize is that many online tools that show live content are also on the Deep Web. Some examples: lets you view live flight delays across the United States. lets you look up and verify the names and addresses of people across the globe. is home to a great lookup tool that lets you find documented safety issues and recalls by vehicle—just enter your VIN number to find out if your vehicle is safe. is home to over 60,000 free eBooks you can read on your eReader, computer, or tablet. 5. Browsing the Dark Web with Tor 5-1. Download and install Tor. Dark Web addresses typically look like long strings of letters and numbers, and always end with .onion. Unlike browsing the Deep Web, you'll need a special web browser to browse the Dark Web because of these strange addresses. You can find Tor, the most popular browser used to access the Dark Web, at https://www.torproject.org/download. Tor has some added features for security, including the ability to change your location so that websites think you're in another region. 5-2. Connect to Tor. Once your VPN is turned on and no browser windows are open, open Tor and then click . This will open the Tor home page. Tor recommends that you don't maximize the Tor window, as doing so will publicize your screen size—this could be problematic if you're trying to be anonymous. 5-3. Change your Tor security settings. Once you've launched Tor, click the shield icon at the top-right, select , and then choose as your security level. This ensures that tracking scripts and other forms of monitoring cannot load on Dark Web sites. 5-4. Browse the Dark Web. Now that you're on the Dark Web, you can visit websites that end with .onion. A mostly safe place to start is , a site that contains a frequently updated set of links to common Dark Web sites including email tools, messaging, website hosting, blogs, and more. Find it at http://zqktlwiuavvvqqt4ybvgvi7tyo4hjl5xgfuvpdf6otjiycgwqbym2qad.onion. 6. Dark Web Search Engines Dark Web search engines only index the Dark Web. Be very careful when using Dark Web search engines, as many could point you in disturbing directions. Here are a few relatively safe places to start your journey into the Dark Web: is a commonly used Dark Web search engine with over one million indexed hidden pages. You can access it at xmh57jrknzkhv6y3ls3ubitzfqnkrwxhopf5aygthi7d6rplyvk3noyd.onion. which is also available on the surface web, has a separate Dark Web search engine. You can get there by pointing Tor to https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion. If you go to DuckDuckGo's regular search engine address, which is at DuckDuckGo.com, you'll only be searching the clear (mainstream) web, not the Dark Web. is another Dark Web search engine that indexes non-abusive sites on the Dark Web. 7. Dark Web Browsing Precautions and Tips 7-1. Never access the Dark Web without a VPN. Before downloading Tor, which is the most common Dark Web-accessible web browser, you must sign up for and install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your connection. NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN are common choices, but you can choose any VPN that has the following features: A kill switch for when your VPN goes down. A no-log policy, which can protect you if the government demands log files from your VPN server. Anonymous sign-up. Quick load times. Protection against IP and DNS leaks. The ability to connect via another country's server. 7-2. Make sure that your VPN is on before connecting to Tor. Your VPN will hide your IP address from anyone attempting to view your location. 7-3. Linux is strongly recommended for people who plan on using the Dark Web. Tails is a popular option, as it's portable and has the Tor network built in. You could also use a virtual machine instead of booting Tails from a USB or optical drive, such as VirtualBox. If you're on a Mac, you should be fine if you use a VPN and Tor. Just makes sure you're protected from viruses and other malware—Malwarebytes is a great option for malware protection. 7-4. Avoid buying anything or sending money on the Dark Web. Much of the Dark Web's illegal content is based around things like human trafficking, illicit drug and firearm sales, and so on. Nearly anything available for sale on the Dark Web would be illegal in most regions. 7-5. Never download files or accept chat requests while on the Dark Web. Do not search for or click links to pages referencing or participating in illegal topics. Simply viewing certain types of web pages may be illegal in your region, so it's best not to take any chances. 8. The Deep Web vs. The Dark Web 8-1. The Deep Web is made up of information you can't get to from Google. Library archives, private databases, online banking accounts, subscription-only magazines, and court dockets are all things you'll find on the Deep Web. Although the Deep Web sounds mysterious, you've likely spent time there! Basically, anything that requires a password, subscription, or even a CAPTCHA to access is part of the Deep Web. 8-2. The Deep Web is not the Dark Web. While the Dark Web requires using a special web browser to access anonymous websites, anyone can find information on the Deep Web through a regular web browser like Chrome or Safari. Unlike browsing the depths of the Dark Web, checking out sites on the Deep Web is just as safe as browsing any other website. 8-3. The Dark Web refers to a small sliver of the web that is impossible to access without special software and links. Since the Dark Web's focus is on anonymity, it's home to a lot of illicit content, which gives it a bad reputation. Although the Dark Web is most known for its illegal marketplaces, it's also used to provide anonymity to journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and the like. Tips Ultimately, the Deep Web isn't as exciting as pop culture has made it out to be; however, it does serve as an excellent source for academic essays, research assets, and specialized information that you may not be able to find among popular results. Parts of the Dark Web are used to store raw research data and other tidbits of information that you may find interesting to browse. The Internet can be broken up into three main parts: the Surface or Clear web (roughly 4 percent of the Internet), the Deep Web (roughly 90 percent of the Internet), and the Dark Web (around 6 percent of the Internet).

Deep Web Search Engines\\nMany websites have search engines built into them, which allow you to find information on the site that isn't indexed by Google or Bing.\\nThe information you find on a website's internal search engine is part of the Deep Web. Millions of websites have their own search engines, but here are a few that you may find interesting:\\n\\n has a searchable index of bills, laws, and congressional records.\\n lets you search for copyright information.\\n indexes nearly 4 million newspapers.\\n of more than 500,000 academic essays is searchable.\\n is even a Deep Web search engine—you can find lots of users, groups, and Pages that aren't indexed by mainstream search engines.\\n2. Access the Deep Web at Archive.org\\nFind archived websites that no longer exist.\\nThe is an amazing Deep Web tool that lets you view websites that no longer exist, as well as older versions of websites that exist now.\\nFor example, if you search for Facebook.com, you can see what Facebook's homepage looked like in 2006.\\nNot all websites are archived by the WayBack Machine—some webmasters prefer their sites not be indexed and are able to opt out.\\n3. Deep Web Access via Academic Databases and Archives\\nAcademic databases and archives are some of the most interesting parts of the Deep Web.\\nThere are plenty of great databases that contain peer-reviewed and other academic data that isn't completely searchable in Google or Bing, including:\\n\\n indexes a variety of multidisciplinary academic articles and citations.\\n indexes articles about biomedical topics. Some of what is on PubMed is indexed by Google, but you can browse and search the website for difficult-to-find articles.\\n lets you search peer-reviewed academic journal articles and e-books about the humanities.\\n is another humanities-focused resource curated by humans who share helpful and interesting Deep Web content.\\n requires a subscription for most people, but if you're a student, you may already have one. This tool is invaluable for finding information from magazines, news articles, and even individuals' public records.\\n is home to hundreds of manuscripts, photos, videos, articles, and other historical information you won't find in Google.\\nMost regional libraries have extensive websites available for members. As a library card holder, you can search dozens to hundreds of databases that you won't find anywhere on the internet. This includes genealogical information, local news archives, public directories, oral histories, and much more.\\n4. Other Deep Web Tools\\nUse Deep Web tools to look up information.\\nAs you can now see, anything behind a paywall, username and password, or CAPTCHA is technically the Deep Web. What you might not realize is that many online tools that show live content are also on the Deep Web. Some examples:\\n\\n lets you view live flight delays across the United States.\\n lets you look up and verify the names and addresses of people across the globe.\\n is home to a great lookup tool that lets you find documented safety issues and recalls by vehicle—just enter your VIN number to find out if your vehicle is safe.\\n is home to over 60,000 free eBooks you can read on your eReader, computer, or tablet.\\n5. Browsing the Dark Web with Tor\\n5-1. Download and install Tor.\\nDark Web addresses typically look like long strings of letters and numbers, and always end with .onion.

You can find Tor, the most popular browser used to access the Dark Web, at https://www.torproject.org/download.\\nTor has some added features for security, including the ability to change your location so that websites think you're in another region.\\n5-2. Connect to Tor.\\nOnce your VPN is turned on and no browser windows are open, open Tor and then click . This will open the Tor home page.\\nTor recommends that you don't maximize the Tor window, as doing so will publicize your screen size—this could be problematic if you're trying to be anonymous.\\n5-3. Change your Tor security settings.\\nOnce you've launched Tor, click the shield icon at the top-right, select , and then choose as your security level. This ensures that tracking scripts and other forms of monitoring cannot load on Dark Web sites.\\n5-4. Browse the Dark Web.\\nNow that you're on the Dark Web, you can visit websites that end with .onion.\\nA mostly safe place to start is , a site that contains a frequently updated set of links to common Dark Web sites including email tools, messaging, website hosting, blogs, and more. Find it at http://zqktlwiuavvvqqt4ybvgvi7tyo4hjl5xgfuvpdf6otjiycgwqbym2qad.onion.\\n6. Dark Web Search Engines\\nDark Web search engines only index the Dark Web.\\nBe very careful when using Dark Web search engines, as many could point you in disturbing directions. Here are a few relatively safe places to start your journey into the Dark Web:\\n\\n is a commonly used Dark Web search engine with over one million indexed hidden pages. You can access it at xmh57jrknzkhv6y3ls3ubitzfqnkrwxhopf5aygthi7d6rplyvk3noyd.onion.\\n which is also available on the surface web, has a separate Dark Web search engine.

Dark Web Browsing Precautions and Tips\\n7-1. Never access the Dark Web without a VPN.\\nBefore downloading Tor, which is the most common Dark Web-accessible web browser, you must sign up for and install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your connection. NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN are common choices, but you can choose any VPN that has the following features:\\nA kill switch for when your VPN goes down.\\nA no-log policy, which can protect you if the government demands log files from your VPN server.\\nAnonymous sign-up.\\nQuick load times.\\nProtection against IP and DNS leaks.\\nThe ability to connect via another country's server.\\n7-2.

How to Access the Public Test Realm in World of Warcraft
1. Accessing the PTR Client 1-1. Log into your Battle.net account. PTR accounts are managed through Battle.net along with accounts for all other games produced by Blizzard Entertainment. Go to the Battle.net website and click on “Log In” at the top. Log in with your username and password, and click “Log in” to continue. After you have logged in, look on the center of your screen for a link called "Manage My Games - Account Management” and click on it. You must already have an existing World of Warcraft account to create a PTR account. 1-2. Select your existing World of Warcraft account. On the center of your Account Management page, there will be a list of all the games you have purchased on Battle.net. Find your World of Warcraft account. It should say “World of Warcraft” along with the region you are registered in, such as Americas & Oceania (US) or Europe (EU). 1-3. Sign up for the PTR. After clicking on your World of Warcraft account, you will open up a page to manage it. On this page you will see information about your WoW account, including your subscription renewal date. Scroll down until you see the options “Character & Guild Services,” “Additional Services,” and “Referrals & Rewards.” Click on “Additional Services,” and some links including a link titled “Public Test Realm” will appear. Click the “Public Test Realm” link to access the PTR Service page. On the PTR Service page, click the “History/Status” link, and your PTR account will automatically be created. 1-4. Download the PTR client. Now that you have a PTR account, you will also need to download the PTR client to log onto the PTR. On the PTR Service page, there is also a link titled “Download PTR Client.” Click the “Download PTR Client” link then choose whether you are using a Windows PC or a Mac. After making the choice, you will begin to download a file. This file itself isn’t the PTR client; it is a program that will download the actual PTR client for you when you run it. The PTR client is too large to download through a website, so it is done through this file. Once you finish downloading the file, run it and it will automatically install the PTR client on your computer. After you have installed the PTR client, you can open it through the Battle.net desktop application that comes with the regular version of World of Warcraft. 2. Transferring Your WoW Account Characters to the PTR 2-1. Go to the PTR Service page. As described earlier, log onto Battle.net, select your WoW account, and then click on “Additional Services.” On the PTR Service page, you will see some basic info about the current situation with character transfers. Since the PTR is a test realm, there may be weeks or even months where the character transfer service is unavailable. In these cases your only option will be to create a new character (Part 3). If character transfers are available, it will show on your page something to the effect of “Character Copies Left: 3” along with a list of characters on your WoW account. 2-2. Click the character you want to transfer. You’ll be taken to a confirmation page. 2-3. Click “Okay” to confirm the transfer. After you have confirmed the transfer, it will take you to the History/Status page with a list of all characters you have transferred. It may take some time for the character transfer to complete. You can refresh the History/Status page to check on any pending character transfers. The transfer will not affect your character on regular WoW servers in any way. While characters on the PTR can be created at level 90, they will not have the same items or professions that your regular characters may have. You are limited to transferring a certain number of characters to the PTR for each testing phase. The limit is set by the developers during each testing phase. Make sure you use your transfers wisely because once you use them all, then you will not be able to transfer any more characters until the next testing phase begins. 3. Creating New Characters on the PTR 3-1. Load the Battle.net desktop application like you normally would to load World of Warcraft. If you don’t want to transfer characters, or if PTR character transfer is unavailable, you can create a new character via the PTR in the Battle.net desktop app. 3-2. Log onto PTR. On the World of Warcraft section of the Battle.net desktop application, there is a large blue button that says Play. Above the Play button you can select which account you want to log on with. Click the option that says “PTR” then click “Play.” It will open World of Warcraft and connect you to the PTR. Once you have connected to the PTR, you will be taken to the character selection screen. This screen is almost identical to the standard World of Warcraft character selection screen, except there is an extra section near the bottom left. 3-3. Click “Create Character.” This should be on the bottom left, near a section that says “Template Character – Level 90.” You will be taken to the standard character-creation screen to pick details such as character name, class, and race. 3-4. Create your character. Click the Name field and enter the name you want for your character. Select its class and race, and when you’re done, click “Done.” After creating your character, it will automatically be at level 90 before you even log in. Do not get too attached to your PTR characters because accounts on the PTR are regularly wiped clean and all characters are deleted. Tips Character progress on the PTR is temporary. Accounts are regularly reset and all characters deleted. You are limited to transferring a certain number of characters to the PTR for each testing phase. During certain periods, the PTR is not even available. Depending on the game development situation, the PTR may be taken offline for months at a time. You will not be able to play on the PTR at all during these times.

How to Accessorize
1. Knowing the Do's and Dont's 1-1. Wear a few well-chosen accessories at a time. A lot of people make the mistake of piling on all the accessories they own at once. When it comes to accessories, less is usually more. If you're wearing jewelry, a watch, a scarf, a hat and sunglasses, no one piece will stand out, and your outfit will end up looking cluttered. Choose a few accessories that accent your outfit or highlight the feature you want to play up. Wearing a full jewelry getup, complete with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, can overwhelm your look. Try wearing either earrings or a necklace instead of both, and limiting how many rings you wear at once. If you do wear a lot of different accessories, make sure they aren't competing for attention. Match your metals and colors so that your accessories look like they were chosen with intention. For example, you could wear big gold hoops, a colorful warm-toned scarf, and a gold watch for a streamlined look. 1-2. Pair bold accessories with understated clothes. Neutral clothing can be completely transformed when you add a few bold accessories. If your wardrobe has a lot of neutrals like black, white, beige, olive or navy, accessorizing gives you a chance to play with fun colors and give your outfits a boost. The best thing about neutrals is that they look great with most other colors, so you don't have to worry too much about making sure your accessories match your clothes. Here are a few ways to use bold accessories to add some life to your neutral outfits: Pair a thin red or hot pink belt with a black or navy dress. Wear a splashy orange or yellow scarf or shoes with khaki or olive-colored clothing. Freshen up your white blouse with a multicolored statement necklace or big drop earrings. 1-3. Avoid being too matchy. It might be tempting to play off the blue polka dots in your dress with matching blue earrings, a blue necklace and blue shoes. However, matching to this extent can sometimes look a little old-fashioned or childish. Throwing some unexpected, yet surprisingly perfect accessories into the mix shows off your creativity and adds interest to the outfit. Use the color wheel to help you come up with interesting color combinations that accent each other beautifully. For example, if you're wearing a purple shirt, try adding something mustard or lemon-colored to your outfit instead of hunting down the same shade of purple. Since yellow is opposite purple on the color wheel, your outfit will be appealing to the eye. Wear colors with black and white. If you're wearing a black and white flowered top, then you could pop in an electric blue medium-sized beaded necklace and some cute blue earrings. While going overboard with matching is usually ill-advised, it can also be a lot of fun when you do it deliberately. Wearing red pants and a top with red sunglasses and a red scarf could look vintage and chic. Your monochrome look will be sure to turn heads. 1-4. Wear items that play up a color in your outfit. If you're wearing a multicolored outfit, accessories can add interest by allowing you to bring out one of the understated colors. For example, if your dress is black with a small flower pattern, you might wear ceramic bangles that match the green of the flower's leaves. Playing up one color makes the outfit look pulled together and elegant. You can also use accessories to tie together two seemingly mismatched clothing items. Pick an accessory that shares colors with both of the clothing items, like a scarf that picks up the pink in your blouse and the beige in your pants. Now your outfit looks like it each piece was chosen with intention, rather than just thrown together. 1-5. Balance the size of your pieces. If you're wearing a pair of large, dangling earrings, don't pair them with an oversized statement accessory. Your look will be more balanced if you wear a smaller necklace (or no necklace at all) so that your face isn't overwhelmed by too much large jewelry. Keep the size of your various accessories in mind when you decide what to wear together. Accessories can also be used to balance details on your clothes. If you're wearing blouse with interesting embroidery near the collar, you wouldn't want to wear a big scarf to cover it up. Instead, choose a thin chain that will accent but not hide the details you want to show off. Let one item be the star of your look. If you're excited to wear an adorable new hat you just bought, don't wear your bold new belt at the same time. 1-6. Choose items that enhance your features. Accessories give you the opportunity to bring out the best in your face and body. Well-chosen accessories can make your eyes look bigger, your neck look slender, or your calves look more defined. For example, Wear large hoop earrings to accent the slant of your cheekbones. Wear shoes with a bit of height to elongate your legs. Wear a scarf that matches your eyes to make them look brighter. Wear a slender chain necklace to draw attention to your collarbones. 1-7. Use bold makeup as an accessory. If you're wearing a shade of knockout red lipstick, or you've lined your eyes for a vintage cat eye look, you probably don't need too many accessories to complete your look. Let your makeup itself be the accessory. Just make sure the colors you choose complement the colors in your outfit and help tie your look together. Here are a few other unexpected items that can count as accessories: Nail polish and nail art False eyelashes Tattoos Glasses and colored contacts Hair extensions or weaves 2. Picking Out Accessories 2-1. Adapt your accessories to your signature style. There's no end to the accessory choices out there, and it can be tricky to narrow down your options. If you're just now starting your accessory collection, begin by choosing a few pieces that match your current style. Once you get used to accessorizing, you can start branching out and experimenting with bolder pieces you might not normally think of as "you." Here are a few basics you might want to add to your shopping list: Earrings: silver or gold hoops, jeweled studs, and a few pairs of fun dangly numbers. Necklaces: a tasteful silver or gold chain, a string of pearls and a bold statement necklace. Scarves: a neutral scarf that matches everything and a few bold scarves to show off your personality. Belts: a classic leather belt, a wide statement belt and an elegant skinny belt. Hair accessories: an array of barrettes, a headband or two, and if hats are your thing, a sunhat and a beret. 2-2. Find inspiration in magazines and blogs. When you're deciding which accessories to purchase, check out fashion magazines and blogs for great ideas. Look for inspiration from people who have similar taste to you or clothes that aren't far from your wardrobe. Pay attention to how the accessories are styled. What colors and textures are paired together? Most magazines and blogs provide information about where the items are from, so you can purchase them for yourself. 2-3. Check out thrift stores and clearance bins for trendy accessories. Accessories are so much fun because they give you the opportunity to wear all the latest trends without having to break the bank. If you see an accessory you like, chances are there's a knockoff within your price range. Instead of saving up your money for an item that's likely to go out of style next season, look for less expensive versions of the accessories you want. 2-4. Spend big on classic items. There are some classic accessories that are worth spending more money to purchase. If you're absolutely certain that you'll wear an accessory a lot, buying something higher quality could be a good investment. For example, a pair of diamond studs will probably get a lot of use, and it might be worth it to you to have the real thing. When you're deciding whether an item is worth splurging on, ask yourself these questions: Will it stay in style forever, or is it about to be last season's fad? Does it match the majority of my wardrobe, or will I struggle to find an outfit to wear it with? Is it made with high-quality materials (like sterling silver or 14 karat gold) or is it priced high simply because it's a name brand? 2-5. Pick accessories that go with your complexion. Your accessories will look best if they enhance your natural coloring, whether you have warm or cool-toned skin, hair and eyes. If you have warm-toned skin, earth colors and golden tones will look best. For a cooler complexion, go for jewel tones and opt for silver over gold. To figure out whether you have warm or cool-toned skin, put a silver bracelet on one wrist and a gold one on the other, or hold silver and gold jewelry up to your eyes. Which metal looks more flattering against your skin and makes your eyes appear to sparkle? If you're warm-toned, it'll be the gold. If you're cool-toned, it'll be the silver. No matter what your skin tone is, accessories can be a fun way to play with colors you wouldn't normally wear. If you never wear peach near your face because it makes you look washed out, try wearing peach-colored flats or a peach belt. That way you can enjoy the color even if it doesn't match your tone. 2-6. Consider accessories outside the obvious. Anything you wear on your body can be used as an accessory. An umbrella or a parasol can be used to accessorize an outfit. So could a tattoo sleeve, a feather boa, pins, veils, keychains hanging from your belt loops, and candy necklaces. Be creative! 3. Trying Different Looks 3-1. Use accessories to create a fun but work-friendly outfit. If you work in an office, you might be looking for a way to show a little personality while still looking professional. Accessorizing is the perfect way to show off your style in a way that's tasteful and office appropriate. Accessorize any basic office neutrals with the following: Stud earrings. As long as they don't hang too low, most earrings are office appropriate. If you have a big meeting, you might want to go with classic silver, gold or diamond studs, but for everyday wear, mix things up with a little pop of color. Chic glasses. Black or tortoise shell wayfarer-style glasses will make you look smart and stylish at the office. Colorful flats or kitten heels. 3-2. Give your normal clothes an extra edge. With the right accessories, you can turn a standard sweater set and slacks ensemble into something with rockstar edge. In fact, the juxtaposition of the two looks is all the more interesting and fun. To amp up your basic sweaters, shifts or blouses, wear these: Mixed metal jewelry. Try a stack of gold and silver bangles. Studded jewelry. Wearing jewelry with thick metal studs or little spikes shows the world you mean business. Bold eye makeup. Break out the black eyeliner and create a smoky eye to go with your goth jewelry. Motorcycle boots. They look good paired with a dress or jeans. 3-3. Create a bohemian beach look. The place where you live might be completely land-locked, but that doesn't mean you can't look like you just spent your afternoon at the beach. Try these accessories to build a look that's free and breezy: Colorful beaded necklaces or earrings. A sheer, light-colored scarf you can use to block the sun or wind. The perfect pair of sunglasses. Rings made with natural stones. 3-4. Dress for a classy event. If you're going to an award ceremony, a formal wedding or another event at which you want to look your best, keep your accessories elegant and understated. These accessories pair well with formal gowns or cocktail dresses: A string of pearls, diamonds, or other precious gems. Small drop earrings or studs that match your necklace. A slender matching tennis bracelet or simple chain. Tips Try making your jewelry accent your clothing.[3] X Expert Source Kalee HewlettImage Consultant Expert Interview. 23 April 2019. Dress to flatter your body. If you've grown out of an accessory like shoes or a hat, you don't have to leave it in your closet forever. Give it to a charity like Goodwill. Other people can use them! Warnings Remember, don't go too overboard with accessories! You don't have to have every accessory.

Keep the size of your various accessories in mind when you decide what to wear together.\\nAccessories can also be used to balance details on your clothes. If you're wearing blouse with interesting embroidery near the collar, you wouldn't want to wear a big scarf to cover it up.

How to Accessorize Short Hair
1. Securing Your Hair 1-1. Use bobby pins. Bobby pins with rhinestones or flowers or a number of decorations can be used for a variety of looks. You can take short hair and pin the bangs back. This will make you look more formal. If you have long bangs, it could get them out of your eyes. The ornamentation on the pins will add interest. Try pinning your hair to different sides. This will create dramatic looks. If you place the decorated pins in a row, it will add emphasis to your style. You can always place a single bobby pin with a design on it anywhere on the side of your head. This is a simple way to change your look without going through the trouble of styling your hair. 1-2. Buy barrettes in many styles. It may be difficult to use barrettes for extremely short hair, but with a minimal amount of length, however, barrettes can become essential accessories for your hair. They come in many sizes, colors and shapes. They also have countless designs on them. Make a statement by gathering the sides of your hair and pinning them in the back of your head with a beautiful barrette. Sweep your hair to one side and hold it in place with a barrette. Try showing your individuality by wearing a barrette with a unique design. Complete a look by wearing a barrette that matches your outfit. 1-3. Style your locks with tiny rubber bands. If you have short hair, then you may know that, when you braid it, the style doesn’t hold. Using rubber bands placed strategically in your braid will make it last. The rubber bands are also seen as an accessory. If you feel bold, you can use bands in wild colors when creating this look. Braid as much of your hair as you can, on one side of your head, with each of the lengths you can hold at one time. Start at the top. Braid until you have about one half inch unbraided. Secure what is braided with a rubber band. Blend the remaining hair with the next length and do the same. Continue until you get to the bottom of your hair. Then secure the bottom with a band. Do this on both sides of your head. 2. Pulling Out the Headbands, Scarves and Bandannas 2-1. Be creative with headbands. Most people think that a headband only goes from the base of your neck to just above the hairline to hold your hair. There is nothing wrong with this look. It adds a new dimension to short hair. However, headbands can be used in different ways. Don’t be afraid to get creative with them. Headbands, like barrettes come in a variety of styles and colors. There are thin ones, thick ones and in between ones. Create a new look by using two or three headbands, in varying colors and styles, at a time. You will not only stand out, but you may also be thought of as unique and a trend-setter. 2-2. Use a scarf to add a touch of class. Like headbands, scarves come in a variety of colors and styles. However, there is something to be said about a person wearing a scarf in their hair. This is because scarves usually come in much nicer designs and materials than headbands. Fold the scarf in half diagonally, and put the wide half around your hair at the front of your head. Tie it underneath your hair. You could also tie the scarf under your chin as they did in the fifties. Doing this will create a sophisticated look. Do this with scarves of different materials and designs to keep updating your look. Try something different by tying several scarves together at the ends. Then twist them until they are thin and tie them around your head like a headband. Create a bun with a scarf and pin it to the top of your head to be modern or to the back for a classic look. 2-3. Get casual with a bandanna. When you want to accessorize your hair in a simple and casual way, you can’t go wrong with a bandanna. They are available in every color and countless designs. Like scarves, fold them diagonally and put them in your hair. Wear them to places like the gym or the grocery store or any casual place. Fold them over a few times and wear them like a headband. Many people use them as their go-to pieces on bad hair days. 3. Adding Accents 3-1. Add flowers to your hair for a soft and feminine look. Let your beauty blossom! You can use any size flowers that are real or man-made. For example, putting flowers around the crown of your head makes for a soft, womanly look. Add flowers around your hair when you have an updo and the look will become more sophisticated. Pinning your hair behind one ear and then adding a flower where the pin is looks terrific. Remember that real flowers, while wonderful, can leave parts of their stems or petals in your hair. 3-2. Wear earrings to highlight your hairdo. Because there are so many options with earrings, the amount of looks they can create for your hair are limitless. You can create looks that are everything from sophisticated to quirky. Wear a pair of diamond studs to make your hairstyle stand out. The sparkle of the studs will call attention to your hair. Drop earrings will create more the allusion of length for short hair. The key here is to experiment, experiment experiment. Keep trying new looks with earrings. 3-3. Use some spray-on highlights. There are a number of products you can spray in your your hair to do everything from highlight to creating shimmer. This can really make you stand out and accent a great hairdo. Use a spray-on glitter for nights on the town. Try a spray-on highlight when you want to accentuate the color of your hair. Tips There are no style rules. Try anything and everything you like, and be proud of your bravery. Updos work for short hair as well. If you can flat twist your hair, you can roll sections into an updo and secure it with pins. Use your surroundings as inspiration- whose style do you admire? How can you make it your own?

How to Accessorize With Jewelry
1. Choosing Jewelry Based on Fashion/Style Concerns 1-1. Accessorize for the occasion. Your jewelry should be appropriate for where you are going. Are you wearing jewelry to work? This is time to be more conservative with your accessorizing. Are you at a formal event? If so, consider wearing more fine jewelry and gemstones. Are you hanging out with friends or going to a party? Then be playful, fun and more daring with your look. Small, dainty jewelry is best for work. Stud earrings instead of dangling earrings are acceptable. Your jewelry at work should never be distracting. If you are unsure what is appropriate, see what the other women at the office wear and follow suit. 1-2. Know all of your options. You have so many options when it comes to jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, and rings are all available. All jewelry comes in different shapes, lengths, materials and widths. Whatever you choose should compliment your outfit and personal style. If you are new to accessorizing, start with a pair of stud earrings. Studs are appropriate for every occasion and can be worn with other jewelry as well. 1-3. Take your outfit into consideration. If you are wearing a busy outfit with a loud print, your jewelry should be more subdued. If you are wearing a plain, simple outfit, you can wear more creative jewelry to transform your outfit. Remember your jewelry is an addition to your outfit and should never compete with what you are wearing. If your outfit is already embellished with jewels, skip the necklace and wear some simple earrings. Your jewelry can also be used to bring your outfit together. For example, if you are wearing a black dress with red shoes, you could wear some red jewelry to pull the outfit together. For example, you would not wear a huge, statement necklace with a leopard print top. However, you could be much more adventurous with a plain white tee or blouse. 1-4. Mix and match. It used to be taboo to wear gold, silver, copper, rose gold, etc. at the same time. However, this is no longer the case. Feel free to mix up different metals. Another way to mix and match is by playing with size, width, and texture. Wear bracelets of different widths or necklaces of different lengths. You can also stack rings on your fingers as well. Try doubling up or wearing a regular ring and a midi ring on the same finger. Necklaces and wrist wear (e.g. bracelets, bangles, cuffs, and watches) can be stacked as well. 1-5. Think about your neckline. A necklace should compliment the neckline of your clothing. You want the necklace to be visible, yet not compete with your outfit. The right necklace can emphasize and enhance your outfit. On the other hand, the wrong can be a distraction and take away from what you are wearing. Try a long pendant necklace if you are wearing a deep V neckline. The necklace should hit right above your cleavage. A short, statement necklace looks great with a sweetheart neckline. Layered necklaces and statements necklaces look nice with crew neck cut clothing. 1-6. Choose a centerpiece. An easy way to begin accessorizing is to build around one piece of jewelry such as a statement necklace, ring, or bracelet. This piece would be the focus of your outfit, and then all the other pieces would be minimal. For example, if your earrings are the focal point, you may wear a simple band on your finger and a dainty necklace. If your necklace is the centerpiece, wear stud earrings and minimal rings or bracelets. Your watch and bracelet could also be the focus of your accessorizing. If this is the case, do not wear earrings or necklaces that would compete with your wrist jewelry. 1-7. Avoid being matchy-matchy. The color of your jewelry does not have to be the exact same color as your outfit or the other jewelry that you are wearing. You can wear multiple complimentary colors or wear a pop of color if your outfit is all neutral colors.If you are unsure what colors will look best with your clothing, take a look at a color wheel. Find whatever color you are wearing on the wheel and then look across the wheel to determine which colors are complimentary. Wearing metal jewelry is always a safe bet if you are not sure about what colors to wear. Diamonds and diamond-looking jewelry are also safe no matter what colors you are wearing. If your outfit is a neutral color (e.g. black, white, gray, etc.), you can wear some bright colored jewelry to add some color and personality to your look. 2. Wearing Jewelry that is Flattering 2-1. Choose earrings that frame your face. Different styles of earrings are more flattering depending on the shape of your face. If you have a long or oval shaped face, try studs or shorter drop earrings. If you have a square or round face, pendant earrings will look nice. Hoop earrings compliment every face shape. These are just suggestions for choosing earrings. At the end of the day, wear earrings that you like and that you feel confident wearing. 2-2. Wear rings that flatter your hands. Rings are a beautiful addition to any outfit. To make your fingers look longer, wear narrow bands. If your fingers are already thin, you can get away with wearing wider bands. As a rule, your left hand is for serious jewelry like wedding and engagement rings or family heirlooms. Your right hand is for more playful and over-sized rings. 2-3. Consider your skin tone. Jewelry is worn close to your skin so look for jewelry that compliments your tone. Cool skin tones have bluish colored veins and have more pink and red undertones. Warm skin tones have greenish colored veins and more yellow undertones. If you have a cool skin tone, platinum and white gold will look best. If you have a warm skin tone, yellow gold and rose gold will look best. Rose gold actually looks good with a variety of skin tones. Go ahead and give it a try. Gemstones such as yellow diamonds, Citrine, Garnet, Morganite, Ruby, and Peridot are recommended for warm skin tones. Emerald, Opal, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Zircon, and Tanzanite are recommended for cool skin tones. No matter your skin tone, diamonds or diamond-like jewelry will always look nice. 2-4. Compliment your frame. Jewelry will look different depending on your height, body type, and bust size. If you have a smaller frame, thin and dainty jewelry is very complimentary. However, dainty jewelry may not stand out as much on a larger frame. If you have a larger frame, try some chunkier jewelry. If you are 5'4" or smaller, go for necklaces that sit on or just below your collarbone. If you are tall and/or have a long torso, any necklace length is usually fine. Keep in mind that shorter necklace lengths may get lost. The shorter your neck, the thinner the necklace should be. For example, you would not wear a choker if you have a very short neck. Tips Remember that jewelry is a reflection of your personal style. Go with your instincts and preferences. Less is more when you wear jewelry to work. Experiment with different jewelry and looks to find your best look.
{ "create_time": "20230517 10:42:43", "回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Choosing Jewelry Based on Fashion/Style Concerns\\n1-1. Accessorize for the occasion.\\nYour jewelry should be appropriate for where you are going. Are you wearing jewelry to work? This is time to be more conservative with your accessorizing. Are you at a formal event? If so, consider wearing more fine jewelry and gemstones. Are you hanging out with friends or going to a party? Then be playful, fun and more daring with your look.\\nSmall, dainty jewelry is best for work. Stud earrings instead of dangling earrings are acceptable. Your jewelry at work should never be distracting. If you are unsure what is appropriate, see what the other women at the office wear and follow suit.\\n1-2. Know all of your options.\\nYou have so many options when it comes to jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, and rings are all available. All jewelry comes in different shapes, lengths, materials and widths. Whatever you choose should compliment your outfit and personal style. If you are new to accessorizing, start with a pair of stud earrings. Studs are appropriate for every occasion and can be worn with other jewelry as well.\\n1-3. Take your outfit into consideration.\\nIf you are wearing a busy outfit with a loud print, your jewelry should be more subdued. If you are wearing a plain, simple outfit, you can wear more creative jewelry to transform your outfit. Remember your jewelry is an addition to your outfit and should never compete with what you are wearing.\\nIf your outfit is already embellished with jewels, skip the necklace and wear some simple earrings.\\nYour jewelry can also be used to bring your outfit together. For example, if you are wearing a black dress with red shoes, you could wear some red jewelry to pull the outfit together.\\nFor example, you would not wear a huge, statement necklace with a leopard print top. However, you could be much more adventurous with a plain white tee or blouse.\\n1-4. Mix and match.\\nIt used to be taboo to wear gold, silver, copper, rose gold, etc. at the same time. However, this is no longer the case. Feel free to mix up different metals. Another way to mix and match is by playing with size, width, and texture. Wear bracelets of different widths or necklaces of different lengths.\\nYou can also stack rings on your fingers as well. Try doubling up or wearing a regular ring and a midi ring on the same finger.\\nNecklaces and wrist wear (e.g. bracelets, bangles, cuffs, and watches) can be stacked as well.\\n1-5. Think about your neckline.\\nA necklace should compliment the neckline of your clothing. You want the necklace to be visible, yet not compete with your outfit. The right necklace can emphasize and enhance your outfit. On the other hand, the wrong can be a distraction and take away from what you are wearing.\\nTry a long pendant necklace if you are wearing a deep V neckline. The necklace should hit right above your cleavage.\\nA short, statement necklace looks great with a sweetheart neckline.\\nLayered necklaces and statements necklaces look nice with crew neck cut clothing.\\n1-6. Choose a centerpiece.\\nAn easy way to begin accessorizing is to build around one piece of jewelry such as a statement necklace, ring, or bracelet. This piece would be the focus of your outfit, and then all the other pieces would be minimal. For example, if your earrings are the focal point, you may wear a simple band on your finger and a dainty necklace.\\nIf your necklace is the centerpiece, wear stud earrings and minimal rings or bracelets.\\nYour watch and bracelet could also be the focus of your accessorizing. If this is the case, do not wear earrings or necklaces that would compete with your wrist jewelry.\\n1-7. Avoid being matchy-matchy.\\nThe color of your jewelry does not have to be the exact same color as your outfit or the other jewelry that you are wearing. You can wear multiple complimentary colors or wear a pop of color if your outfit is all neutral colors.If you are unsure what colors will look best with your clothing, take a look at a color wheel. Find whatever color you are wearing on the wheel and then look across the wheel to determine which colors are complimentary.\\nWearing metal jewelry is always a safe bet if you are not sure about what colors to wear.\\nDiamonds and diamond-looking jewelry are also safe no matter what colors you are wearing.\\nIf your outfit is a neutral color (e.g. black, white, gray, etc.), you can wear some bright colored jewelry to add some color and personality to your look.\\n2. Wearing Jewelry that is Flattering\\n2-1. Choose earrings that frame your face.\\nDifferent styles of earrings are more flattering depending on the shape of your face. If you have a long or oval shaped face, try studs or shorter drop earrings. If you have a square or round face, pendant earrings will look nice. Hoop earrings compliment every face shape.\\nThese are just suggestions for choosing earrings. At the end of the day, wear earrings that you like and that you feel confident wearing.\\n2-2. Wear rings that flatter your hands.\\nRings are a beautiful addition to any outfit. To make your fingers look longer, wear narrow bands. If your fingers are already thin, you can get away with wearing wider bands. As a rule, your left hand is for serious jewelry like wedding and engagement rings or family heirlooms. Your right hand is for more playful and over-sized rings.\\n2-3. Consider your skin tone.\\nJewelry is worn close to your skin so look for jewelry that compliments your tone. Cool skin tones have bluish colored veins and have more pink and red undertones. Warm skin tones have greenish colored veins and more yellow undertones. If you have a cool skin tone, platinum and white gold will look best. If you have a warm skin tone, yellow gold and rose gold will look best.\\nRose gold actually looks good with a variety of skin tones. Go ahead and give it a try.\\nGemstones such as yellow diamonds, Citrine, Garnet, Morganite, Ruby, and Peridot are recommended for warm skin tones.\\nEmerald, Opal, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Zircon, and Tanzanite are recommended for cool skin tones.\\nNo matter your skin tone, diamonds or diamond-like jewelry will always look nice.\\n2-4. Compliment your frame.\\nJewelry will look different depending on your height, body type, and bust size. If you have a smaller frame, thin and dainty jewelry is very complimentary. However, dainty jewelry may not stand out as much on a larger frame. If you have a larger frame, try some chunkier jewelry.\\nIf you are 5'4\\\" or smaller, go for necklaces that sit on or just below your collarbone.\\nIf you are tall and/or have a long torso, any necklace length is usually fine.

How to Accessorize Your School Uniform
1. Adding Jewelry 1-1. Slip on interesting earrings. Earrings can draw attention to your face and are a fun way to differentiate your uniform’s look. Experiment with different styles, such as studs, chandelier-style earrings, hoops or geometric earrings. You can also play with different materials, such as metals or acrylics, or different colors, to find the perfect combination that suits you. Select earrings that match your personality. If you are loud and love to make jokes, maybe bright color hoops, such as neon pink, would suit you. If you’re a romantic, perhaps lace-appliqué earrings would best showcase who you are. 1-2. Layer bracelets for more visual interest. Layer lots of thin bracelets in different metals to add texture to your look. Wearing multiple chunky jewelry pieces can make your appearance seem sloppy. Opt for thin bracelets you can mix and match in silver, gold and bronze tones. A three-quarter sleeve uniform top could be matched with a thin gold finger bracelet and lots of bangles for a pretty and unexpected look. 1-3. Choose a statement necklace that fits your neckline. Wear a statement necklace with a shape that mimics that of your uniform neckline. If your school uniform has a blouse with a round collar, for example, try a statement necklace with a rounded shape. Whether you prefer a statement necklace that is thick, very colorful, or both, opt for just one rather than layering several, which can be distracting. A navy V-neck sweater could look nice with a V-shaped statement necklace in gold. A khaki uniform dress with a square collar might look nice with a bib necklace in olive green. 1-4. Wear an eye-catching watch that complements your uniform colors. Use the face or strap of a watch to highlight a color in your uniform. This will make the whole look cohesive but also more interesting. Or, if your uniform colors are very drab, add some pop by selecting a watch in a fun color you love. If your uniform skirt is a green, blue and red plaid, you could wear a watch with a red strap to highlight that tone. If your uniform is white and tan, you could choose a watch with a purple face to provide interest and contrast. 2. Playing with Fashion Accessories 2-1. Switch up the frames of your glasses. Choose glasses in a new shape or fun color to differentiate your look. Frames are a great way to express yourself, as they come in a variety of shapes, such as square, cat eye or round. They also come in all the colors of the rainbow, as well as interesting patterns, such as tortoise shell. Make your uniform look more interesting by choosing glasses with some personality. For example, a cat eye frame in a tortoise shell color could be flirty and interesting. Square glasses with navy frames could highlight navy in your uniform. 2-2. Express yourself with a tie. Make yourself feel more unique by choosing a tie with a print of your favorite hobby or even favorite color. Often school uniforms are formal, and some may even require you to wear a tie. This is a great way to show your style even within a strict dress code. If you’re into baseball, you could pick a tie with bats and balls printed on it. If you love the color orange, choose a tangerine or peach color tie for a formal look that goes with your uniform. A tie bar is also an interesting way to add flair to your look. 2-3. Carry an interesting bag. Select a bag with cool features like fringe, a unique print, or cool material. You can even decorate your bag by drawing on it or adding patches or glitter. Often school handbooks have stricter rules about what you can wear but more lax rules for things like bags that you carry with you but are not a part of your clothing. You could add patches of your favorite band to your book bag, for example. If you like to dress up, you could carry a patent leather purse in a jewel tone, such as purple or teal. 2-4. Try a cool belt buckle. Choose a belt buckle that reflects your style or a unique interest of yours. Since many school uniforms require belts, a belt with a surprising buckle is a fun, everyday way to express your style. If you’re into comic books, you could get a belt with a batman buckle. If you like a feminine look, you could choose a belt in a thin leather with a gold buckle. 3. Experimenting with Hair Accessories 3-1. Play with headbands. Choose a headband that lies flat against the head for the most wearable look. You can use a headband to pick up a color you like in your uniform or even add a little sparkle to your look. Experiment with prints and different widths to find a headband that you like. A headband can be particularly interesting if you have short hair, like a pixie cut. Try wearing a headband with your hair up or down to see which look you like best. 3-2. Wear a scarf. Play with scarves in different materials and prints to add interest to your school uniform. You can style them in a Parisian way tied around your neck, around the handle of a bag to add some color, or around your hair like a headband. Silk, cotton and linen are all versatile materials to consider. If you like an edgy, modern look when you’re not at school, you could choose a geometric scarf in a bright print. If you a like a softer look, try a floral scarf in pastel colors. 3-3. Secure your hair with an interesting clip. Use a hair clip instead of a plain hair band to dress up your uniform and express yourself. You could choose a clip with a motif you like or a clip covered in printed fabric for some color. If you’re dreaming of the beach, you could choose a pearlescent clip in the shape of a seashell. If you love dogs, try a clip with a paw-and-bone print. You can use the clip to secure your hair in a ponytail or try using one to clip your bangs out of your face. 3-4. Try wearing hats. Any hat indoors is a bold choice, so opt for a sophisticated hat to elevate your uniform. Avoid extravagant or large hats, such as a sombrero, which will seem like a costume. For a feminine look, you could try a small fascinator in black or navy, or if you like a throwback, don a fedora in a color that matches your uniform. If allowed, you could try a more casual style, such as a baseball cap, in a more sophisticated fabric, such as a gray flannel. 4. Trying Different Shoes 4-1. Switch to a new style. Embrace a new style of shoe, such as a different height or toe, to add interest to your look. If you usually wear wedges, you could try a neat ballet flat. If you usually wear an open-toed sandal, try a short boot to switch things up. 4-2. Play with color in a traditional style. If the style of shoe you can wear is restricted by the dress code, wear a fun color for a new twist. Burgundy, forest green and cobalt are all subdued enough to satisfy many school dress codes while still setting you apart. If shoe color is highly restricted, try swapping in some different laces for a new look. 4-3. Embrace patterns for a funky look. Try shoes with a floral, geometric, or other pattern to liven up your uniform. Since most uniforms are in flat, neutral colors, embracing a pattern on your feet can add color and interest to your look. Plus, since shoes are not a huge accessory, even loud or busy patterns are often very wearable. Try a polka-dotted kitten heel for a retro spin on your uniform, for example. You could try a ballet flat in a blue floral pattern to go with a navy uniform, for example. 4-4. Bedazzle or bejewel your shoes. You can add some sparkle to your shoes by gluing on glitter or using a bedazzler to add gems and grommets. This is a fun and playful look that sets your shoes apart, even if they have to meet various other rules. You could try bedazzling just the toe, or adding glitter to only the heel as a creative accent. Tips Many schools have handbooks that regulate not only uniforms, but also permissible accessories. Be sure to consult your school handbook to make sure whatever accessories you choose fall within what’s allowed.

How to Accessorize a Dress
1. Accessorizing for the Color of Your Dress 1-1. Match your accessories to the color of your dress. This is one of the easiest ways to accessorize. Color is one of the most important aspects of your dress, and if you pick accessories that are similarly colored to your dress, it will make your outfit look balanced and well put together. If you are wearing a light pink dress, choose pink or rose-colored accessories to go along with it. Matching doesn’t have to be exact. For example, you can still wear dark pink shoes with a light pink dress. This adds some funkiness to your matching. 1-2. Match your accessories to a detail in the dress. Instead of matching your accessories to the overall color of the dress, match them to a secondary color in your dress. This works especially well with patterned dresses, because there is more than one color you can match with. If you are wearing a white dress with pink and blue flowers, wear pink or blue accessories. This is a great way to match with your dress in a more nuanced way. 1-3. Wear neutral accessories with a bright dress. If your dress is an extremely bright color like bright yellow, wear neutrals to offset it. If you match your accessories directly with your brightly colored dress, you may look eccentric rather than put together. White, black, tan and brown are all neutrals that look good with almost any color. If you prefer some bling, try gold or silver jewelry instead. 1-4. Wear subtle or solid-colored accessories with a patterned dress. A patterned dress already has a lot going on. If you throw in accessories that are patterned or intricate, the look becomes too much. Your shoes, bag, belt, and/or jewelry should all be solid-colored. These accessories will help your dress make its statement. Try bright, red pumps with a blue-and-while polka dotted dress. If your dress has a floral pattern on it, a pair of simple, stud earrings would look especially cute. Pair it with black or leather flats to complete the look. 1-5. Wear a boldly–colored accessory with a neutral dress. If your dress is a neutral color like white, beige or tan, adding a bright accessory gives your outfit oomph. Whether it be a statement necklace, a handbag or your shoes, try to make one of your accessories a bright color. If your dress is a solid color, try wearing a patterned handbag or shoes. For example, you could wear a polka dotted bag with a white dress. 1-6. Match your jewelry to the tone of your dress. Every color has a tone. Red, orange, and yellow all have a warm tone. Green, blue and purple are all cool toned. Similarly, gold has a warm tone to it while silver has a cool tone. Don't be afraid to experiment, however; gold can look quite striking with green. White and black are considered neutral tones, so you can wear gold or silver jewelry with them. Brown and tan come in cool and warm undertones. In this case, match the jewelry to the undertone. 2. Accessorizing for the Cut of Your Dress 2-1. Wear a necklace with V or U neck dress. The cut of this dress is perfect for wearing a necklace. Try to pick a necklace that is above the neckline of the dress and that matches the curve of the neckline. You can opt for a simple pendent necklace or a more elaborate style. If you love the look of a certain necklace, but it's too long, simply switch the chain out for a shorter one. Some necklaces come with adjustable chains in the back. This is great, because you can wear them with more dresses. 2-2. Avoid necklaces with halter necks. Halter neck dresses already have a lot going on in the neckline, so to wear a necklace or big earrings would make the outfit seem too busy. When you are accessorizing a halter neck dress, try wearing a bracelet or even layered bracelets. This emphasizes your arms and balances out the top of the dress. Match the style of the jewelry to the style of the halter, however. A rustic pair of wooden earrings won't pair well with an elegant, velvet evening gown. 2-3. Wear long necklaces with crew necks. If you are wearing a dress with a high neck, wear a long necklace to make the look more interesting. Because a crewneck is a simple design, you can wear bigger accessories without it looking overdone. A necklace will bring attention up to your face and it will tie the outfit together. 2-4. Balance the look of a one-shoulder dress with a bracelet. One-shoulder dresses make a bold statement. To balance the asymmetry, wear a bracelet or cuff on the opposite side of your body as the strap of the dress. This is a great way to compliment this style of dress. For example, if your dress only has a strap on the left shoulder, wear the bracelet on the right. Pair chunky cuffs with thick straps, and delicate bracelets with thin straps. This will help create even more balance. 2-5. Wear earrings with strapless dresses. Strapless dresses showcase your arms and your shoulders. Wearing a necklace breaks up this area and doesn’t allow the dress to shine. Instead, try wearing earrings with a strapless dress. Simple stud earrings gives the outfit a classy and sophisticated look. Long, dangly earrings will bring focus to your face. They work especially well with elegant updos. 3. Picking the Right Accessories for the Occasion 3-1. Wear the right shoes. It may sound like the kind of advice your mother gives you, but it also applies to fashion! Make sure your shoes match your dress in terms of formality. If you’re wearing a gown because you are going to a formal event, wear heels. If you’re wearing a sun dress for the beach, wear sandals instead of close-toed shoes. 3-2. Make sure the quality of your jewelry is appropriate. If you are wearing a cocktail dress and heels, don’t wear rubber bracelets or jewelry that is low quality. Likewise, if you are wearing a casual dress for brunch with friends, don’t wear a diamond necklace. These may be extreme examples, but you want to be sure that your accessories match the occasion. 3-3. Bring the right bag. You want your handbag to compliment your dress but also to be appropriate for whatever you are doing. Many women overlook the impression that a handbag can make! If you're going to a formal event, do not use a large or bulky handbag. Bring a simple clutch instead. Save straw or cloth bags for the beach or informal events. You can never go wrong with a basic black leather handbag. It's versatile and can go with virtually any dress or level of formality. 3-4. Wear less rather than more with a formal dress. If you are wearing a professional or elegant dress, try not to wear too many accessories. Accessories would detract from the elegance of your dress and would downplay your outfit. Don’t wear layered or chunky jewelry. Instead, wear one or two simple pieces. Be careful with accessories like hats or scarves. Only wear them if they add to the elegance of your look. 4. Matching Your Accessories to Each Other 4-1. Match your metals. If you are wearing multiple pieces of jewelry, try to match your metals. For instance, wear either all silver or all gold jewelry. It is possible to get away with mixing, but it is harder to pull off. For this reason, many choose to just wear one type of metal per outfit. You can mix-and-match metals with other types of jewelry. For example, you can layer a short silver necklace with a long pearl necklace. 4-2. Wear only one statement piece. You definitely want to make a statement, but you don’t want to look like a Christmas tree. If you have a piece like a large necklace or a patterned handbag, compliment it with smaller or simpler accessories. This will give your outfit a focal point and will make it more cohesive. Wearing too many statement pieces will make your outfit look tacky and won't lead the eye around; there will be no focus. 4-3. Pick bright and neutral shades. If you are wearing multiple accessories, make sure they are not all brightly-colored. Doing this can overwhelm your dress or make your outfit seem cluttered. Choose either all neutral or a mix of neutral and bright accessories. For example, if you want a boho look, layer a necklace made from large, colored glass beads with a necklace made from small, brown, wooden beads. 4-4. Pick only one or two bright colors for your accessories. If you want to wear more than one brightly-colored accessory, make sure they are the same color. This way your accessories will look like they all belong together and the look won’t be overwhelmed by multiple bright colors. For example, if you're wearing a blue-and-white polka dotted dress, pair it with a bright red belt and a matching pair of bright red pumps. 5. Creating a Look With Your Accessories 5-1. Wear sophisticated accessories with a chic dress. If you are wearing a sleek black dress or a more professional looking outfit, wear classy jewelry like pearl earrings or a pair of pumps to compliment your look. You can also try wearing a watch or a black handbag. If you're going for a chic look, try to pick accessories that are simple and high-quality. Avoid loud patterns and chunky jewelry. 5-2. Stick to neutrals if you are wearing a flowery or bohemian style dress. Neutrals are a great compliment to a patterned dress and they help to create a bohemian feel. Wear leather sandals and a suede bag to compliment a flowered dress. You can add accessories like a hat, scarf or feather earrings if you want to take the look a step further. Avoid wearing bulky accessories like heavy black boots or rhinestone earrings if you're wearing a floral dress. These kinds of accessories will look out of place. 5-3. Wear edgy accessories with an edgy dress. If you are wearing a dress with cutouts, or one that really makes a statement, make sure your accessories do the same. Try wearing a spiky necklace or stiletto heels to emphasize your rock star look. Several silver rings or a choker can also add to this look. 5-4. Style your look with a basic dress. A solid-colored dress or a little black dress is the perfect clean slate to create your look with your accessories. Your choice of accessories will influence the feel of the whole outfit. For a funky look, wear one or two chunky or brightly colored accessories. For a girly look, wear sparkly jewelry and a clutch. For a tomboy look, wear flats or cloth sneakers with minimal jewelry. Tips Experiment with different accessories and outfits to see what works for you. Consider doing your hair or makeup differently to fit your dress's style or the occasion. You can even do things like matching your lipstick color if you're wearing a red dress! Warnings Be careful not to wear too many accessories at once. This can distract from your dress.

How to Accessorize a Hamster's Cage
1. Providing Stylish Necessities 1-1. Choose a fun food bowl. You should look for a heavy ceramic food dish that they can’t tip over. You can mix things up by finding a small bowl or dish that has bright colors, a neat design, or an unusual pattern. Good places to look for these include home goods stores, thrift shops, or supermarkets. Choose a smaller bowl that can contain around 5 oz. or a couple of tablespoons of pellets. Be sure to wash it out well before giving to your hamster. Be sure to hook a water bottle onto the cage. Your hamster will need water in addition to food. 1-2. String up a hammock. Buy a nylon hammock instead of a fleece or cotton one to ensure that your hamster won't chew through it. Hang the hammock in the corner of a cage. Make sure that your hamster is able to climb onto it with ease. Hammocks are actually proven to make hamsters happier, so it is a good purchase. 1-3. Place a plastic wheel in the cage. Hamsters need a wheel for exercise. You want a wheel that has a solid, plastic bottom, not spaced rungs. Hamster feet can get stuck in the rungs! You can find wheels in many different kinds of colors these days, so shop around. 1-4. Sprinkle in plenty of chew toys. Hamsters need to grind down their teeth by chewing. There are plenty of chew toys you can give your hamster to make him happy that will also make the cage look great. Walnut shells, unpainted oak or Cherrywood squares, wooden balls, and rolled oats are all great for chewing. 1-5. Design a maze with plastic tubing. You can buy plastic tunnels for your hamster online or at the pet store. These are sometimes known as habitrails. They snap together to create pathways between different houses, nets, or tanks. You can also create your own maze. Find many different parts, including straight pieces, curves, ramps, and nesting boxes. Snap these together, making sure that they are secure. Many wire cages have holes where these tunnels attach. These cages are called “modular” habits. Make sure that the maze either circles back to the cage or that there is a suitable “dead end,” such as a nesting box or a separate cage. 2. Making Your Own Toys 2-1. Collect empty cardboard tubes. When you run out of toilet paper, save the paper rolls. You can also use paper towel tubes. Put these around the cage. Your hamster will use them as tunnels, and they may chew on them a little bit. You can have multiple tubes in a single cage. Replace the tubes once they have been chewed through or if they become damp. 2-2. Fashion ladders out of popsicle sticks. Gather at least four popsicle sticks. Cut two in half, and sand down the rough edges.Using non-toxic glue, attach the pieces so that they form a ladder. The cut pieces are the rungs, and the uncut pieces are the siderails. Make sure that there is a short gap between the rungs. Hamsters love to climb, and giving them ladders will help them exercise while sprucing up your cage. 2-3. Build your own hamster platform. For this, you will need a piece of corkboard, miniature wooden dowels (about 8x40 mm in size), four wooden cylinders, and wood glue/PVC glue. Glue the cylinders onto the bottom of the corkboard for legs. Wait fifteen minutes before flipping over. Glue the dowels around the edge of the corkboard to form a fence. Leave a gap so hamsters can enter. Be sure to prop a ladder against it so hamsters can climb up to it. Let the glue dry completely for a few hours before placing it in the hamster cage. 2-4. Create a swing out of a tin can. Clean out a tin can. Make sure that both ends are removed, and sand down the rough edges until they are smooth. There should be no jagged edges or protruding parts. String a wire or a thin chain through the can, and attach both ends to the top of the cage. The swing should hang low enough for your hamster to crawl in and out. You may leave a ladder out for your hamster. Do not use string. Your hamster may chew on the string, causing digestive problems. 2-5. Paint a flowerpot nest. You want to find a pot that is small enough to fit in your cage but large enough to house your hamster. Paint this with fun colors using non-toxic paint. When it is completely dry, tip it on its side in the main part of the cage. Your hamster will fill it with bedding to sleep in. Do not use stickers as your hamster can eat these. 3. Decorating Your Cage 3-1. Choose a theme. Before you start decorating the cage, think of a fun theme for your hamster cage. Some people decorate their cages for certain holidays. Others stick with certain colors. Think about how you want your cage to look. Some ideas are: Space Christmas Seasons like Spring or Fall Desert 3-2. Fill the cage with decorative toys and tunnels. Hamster toys come in a variety of colors and shapes. Nesting boxes can be found as igloos, animals, or cottages. There are wooden bridges, tree-shaped tunnels, and miniature castles. Find toys and accessories that fit your theme, or use what you think is cute. Remember, hamsters need plenty of hiding spaces, tunnels, climbing walls, and chew toys so you can look for several different options. 3-3. Hang up a picture. You can provide some extra scenery to the cage by printing or drawing a landscape. This should be as tall and wide as their cage. You can choose a normal woodland scene or chose something that fits your theme (stars and planets for a space theme, pine trees and snow for Christmas, etc.). If you have a tank or aquarium cage, you can attach this with tape to the back of the tank. Place it on the outside of the tank with the picture facing into your hamster’s home. Do not put it inside the cage. If you have a wire cage, glue it onto cardboard. Prop it up behind the cage, just far enough away from the cage so that the hamster cannot chew on it. 3-4. Draw on tank walls with dry erase markers. If you have a bin, aquarium, or tank style of cage, you can draw designs or notes on the glass side with a dry erase marker. Only draw on the outside of the cage. You can erase it with a dry eraser or with a damp cloth. You can also place stickers on the glass so long as there is no chance they will peel off and fall into the hamster’s living area. Tips Your hamster should have plenty of places to burrow, climb, and chew. Hamsters chew to grind down their teeth. Make sure everything you put in your cage is safe to be chewed by hamsters. Be sure to clean the cage at least once a week, or your new accessories will be ruined. Warnings Avoid products that use string instead of wire or chain as the hamsters can swallow this. Do not use pine shavings, cedar shavings, fluff, wool, newspapers, or scented bedding as bedding for your hamster as these can cause injury or harm your hamster.

How to Accessorize a Navy Blue Dress for a Wedding
1. Choosing a Complimentary Color Scheme 1-1. Make a bold statement with contrasting colors or patterns that pop. The “opposites attract” theory can work well when accessorizing your dress. A bright red, orange, or yellow color scheme for your accessories can pop against a dark navy dress. If you paint your nails, a classic red could go quite well with the navy color scheme. Similarly, if your dress is a solid color, a patterned handbag or other accessory can make a nice accent to the plain background that the dress provides. 1-2. Keep it simple and classy with white or other light colors. If the loudness of bright yellow or orange accessories isn’t your style, white and other light colors can brighten up your look with a classy—and classical—feel. Just be careful: Since you’re attending a wedding, you want to make sure that blue remains the dominant color. White and similar colors should remain as accents rather than the main color. A white clutch with silver shoes might give you just the spark you need without going overboard. 1-3. Strike a balance with coral or champagne accessories. Maybe you don’t want to go with white or beige, but bright yellows and oranges feel too bold. In that case, coral or champagne can provide the pop and contrast of bolder colors while providing the quiet elegance of a lighter color scheme. 1-4. Find complimentary blues to create a gradient. This is also called “two-toning.” If you’re wearing a navy blue dress, light blue strappy heels and baby blue nail polish might be just the accessories you need to brighten up the dress while staying on theme. Or a teal necklace and a matching bracelet can add a bit of flare while creating a beautiful gradient of blues. 2. Jewelry 2-1. Wear simple silver jewelry. A simple silver necklace can compliment your navy dress beautifully. Especially if you’re wearing a fairly simple, plain dress, the added detail of small- to medium-sized silver jewelry can make your outfit that much more striking. 2-2. Go for the gold. If silver isn’t your style, gold compliments a navy blue outfit, as well. The glitzy gold will pop against your dark dress. You won’t want anything too big—a large statement necklace might feel too gaudy, especially at a wedding. That said, a simple gold brooch, bracelet, or pair of earrings might provide just the zazz your outfit needs. 2-3. You can’t go wrong with pearls. A navy blue outfit with a string of white pearls is as timeless as they come. Many prominent figures—from Princess Diana to Jackie Kennedy—have rocked the look. Who are we to say “no” to such a tried and true outfit? 3. Shoes 3-1. Keep it classy with a pair of black shoes. You can’t go wrong with this classic combo. Black and navy blue go together like wine and cheese. Plus, black shoes are sexy and subtle at the same time. Who doesn’t love a pair of strappy black heels? 3-2. Two-tone it with light blue shoes. If you want to go for the blue-gradient look, light blue shoes are the perfect match to your navy blue dress. This can provide a fresh look, especially if you’re attending a spring or summer wedding. 3-3. Brighten up your look with white or silver shoes. A pair of white heels goes with almost anything, and they add an air of elegance, to boot. Especially against a navy blue dress, this can add a touch of brightness to an otherwise dark outfit. Want to zazz it up a bit? Go for silver! 3-4. Make a statement with yellow or red shoes. If you’re going for the “contrast and pop” strategy with your accessories, a pair of yellow or red shoes can stand out nicely while still looking classy. While it seems counterintuitive, yellow and red are both complementary colors with navy blue. The bright shoes might stand out against the dark dress, but they could work better than you think! 3-5. Let your shoes blend in with nude tones. Maybe you don’t want your shoes to stand out so much. Find a pair of heels that match your skin tone. Added perk? The fact that they’re less noticeable adds to the illusion that you’re taller than you are.

Or a teal necklace and a matching bracelet can add a bit of flare while creating a beautiful gradient of blues.\\n2. Jewelry\\n2-1. Wear simple silver jewelry.\\nA simple silver necklace can compliment your navy dress beautifully. Especially if you’re wearing a fairly simple, plain dress, the added detail of small- to medium-sized silver jewelry can make your outfit that much more striking.\\n2-2. Go for the gold.\\nIf silver isn’t your style, gold compliments a navy blue outfit, as well. The glitzy gold will pop against your dark dress.

That said, a simple gold brooch, bracelet, or pair of earrings might provide just the zazz your outfit needs.\\n2-3.

Make a statement with yellow or red shoes.\\nIf you’re going for the “contrast and pop” strategy with your accessories, a pair of yellow or red shoes can stand out nicely while still looking classy. While it seems counterintuitive, yellow and red are both complementary colors with navy blue. The bright shoes might stand out against the dark dress, but they could work better than you think!\\n3-5.

How to Accessorize a Polka Dot Dress
1. Choosing an Accessory Color Scheme 1-1. Wear all neutrals for a sleek and modern look. Wear accessories in the same color scheme as your dress. If your dress is black and white, wear it with black and white accessories for a monochromatic outfit. 1-2. Try wearing bold colored accessories with a neutral color dress. A polka dot dress in black, navy, white, beige, gray, or tan looks great with bright accessories. The repetitive pattern of polka dots can make accessories blend in. Wearing accessories in bright colors makes them stand out. Black and white polka dot dresses look great with reds and pinks. If your dress is brown and white, consider wearing purple accessories. Yellow accessories look great with a navy polka dot dress. 1-3. Keep the accessories neutral for a multicolored dress. If your polka dot dress has bright colors, wear neutral colored accessories. Pairing bright polka dots with bright accessories will make the outfit too distracting. 1-4. Mix patterns smartly. Mixing patterns can make the outfit too distracting. If you do mix patterns, though, make sure that one pattern is dramatically larger or smaller than the other. For example, a striped sweater should have stripes dramatically larger or smaller than the dots on your dress. Instead of patterns, you might opt for solid-colored accessories. 2. Adding Simple Accessories 2-1. Wear simple jewelry. You can spruce up your polka dot dress by wearing jewelry. Don’t go overboard on the jewelry, otherwise your outfit will have too many different distractions. Keep your jewelry simple and don’t wear too much. Polka dots are not the time for large earrings or a statement necklace. Pearls look great with polka dots because they mimic the dots on the dress. Try a simple chain necklace. Wear studs or simple dangly earrings. 2-2. Choose the right shoes. Wear shoes that don’t have intricate designs, multiple colors, or confusing patterns. Instead, go for solid colors. Polka dot dresses look great with boots, heels, sandals, wedges, or flats, depending on what you are wearing the dress for. For example, a summery polka dot dress might look good with kitten heels if you're going on a date. For a more wintery look, however, you might pair a polka dot dress in a heavier fabric with tights and riding boots or booties. 2-3. Wear a sweater or jacket to add layers. A solid-color sweater or jacket can break up the monotony of the polka dots as well as keep you warm. In the winter, a cropped cashmere cardigan can make your look cozy, and in the summer, a black or denim vest can give your look an edge. You can also make a polka dot dress more professional by mixing it with a cardigan or blazer. As an alternative, choose a fur or faux-fur stole in the colder months. 2-4. Choose a bag to match your outfit. A purse or bag can be used as an accessory to bring your whole outfit together. Keep your bag in the same color scheme as the rest of your outfit. You can make your bag the bright focal point of your outfit against a neutral-colored dress. The size of the bag will also depend on the look you want to achieve. For a more casual look, go for a larger bag, but for a classy affair, you could carry a clutch in a solid color. 3. Adding Finishing Touches 3-1. Try wearing a hat. A sun hat or a floppy hat can pull your outfit together. A beanie is a great way to accessorize your polka dot dress and to keep your head warm. You can make a hat your statement piece of your outfit. 3-2. Wear hair accessories. Try wearing hair accessories with your dress, such as headbands, ribbon, hair scarves, hair clips, hair sticks, and other hair accessories. Hair accessories are a subtle accessory that can add to your outfit without taking away from the dress. 3-3. Wear a belt. Wearing a belt with a dress can accentuate your waist and break up the polka dot pattern. Experiment with different areas of your waste until you find the best spot for the belt on you. Figure out the width of belt that looks best on your body. You can have a really thick belt or a simple thin belt. 3-4. Try a scarf. A solid-colored scarf adds contrast to the busy dress pattern of polka dots. Scarves also keep your neck warm in cold weather. Wear a scarf in a loop, knot, or circle around your neck. 3-5. Wear tights for additional warmth. Wear solid-colored tights or leggings to add warmth and style to your outfit. Black opaque tights look great under dark-colored dresses. You can opt for brighter tights to stand out against a neutral polka dot dress. Tips Keep your accessories simple because the main focus of the outfit is the polka dots. Experiment with different accessories, but don’t wear too many. Don’t mix patterns because your outfit will be too distracting.

How to Accessorize a Red Dress
1. Creating a Monochromatic Look 1-1. Mix in different shades of red. Bright red shades can look overwhelming if used in every accessory. Instead, use different shades of red to create contrast while staying within an all-red color scheme. You have a lot of options with red, starting on the lighter end spectrum with pinks and light reds, and ranging all the way into super dark shades like wine and burgundy. For instance, you could wear a scarf, shrug or wrap in a shade of red that’s slightly lighter or darker than your dress. 1-2. Wear burgundy flats, heels or boots. This shade is deep enough to mimic the classic look of black, but offers a subtle hint of color. Try wine-red ballet flats with a simple red dress. With a bold dress, amp up the intensity by wearing deep red patent leather pumps. Try pairing a trendy red dress with burgundy booties in leather or suede. 1-3. Wear jewelry with red gemstones. Choose pieces set with rubies, garnets or deep red Swarovski crystals. Gunmetal settings create a tough look, while silver and gold settings have classic appeal. If you want to take the monochrome theme even further, choose pieces made of rose gold. For instance, pair an iconic little red dress with a ruby or garnet pendant on a delicate silver chain. Add drama with a matching cocktail ring. Restrict your jewelry to one or two small pieces, and avoid any accessory that looks unnecessarily large. Let your red dress be the focal point. 1-4. Add a belt and carry a purse in the same red shade. A matching belt and purse in crimson or burgundy leather can add great contrast to your red dress while still creating a classic vibe. Choose a thin belt and smaller purse, like a clutch, so the focus stays on your dress. You can certainly have an ensemble with multiple red pieces, but try to keep the accessories relatively toned down. 2. Incorporating Other Colors 2-1. Be the life of the party by wearing primary colors. Carry a handbag with red, yellow, and blue running through it, and match it with blue shoes or simple yellow earrings. Keep your accessories small and low-key to achieve a funky style without looking too busy. This works well for casual and party dresses, but may be too much for a formal or semi-formal occasion. Try wearing a short red skirt with a pair of blue heels or flats. Carry a matching blue clutch. Make a statement with vibrant yellow pointy-toed heels and matching scarf. 2-2. Look for patterns that include red in them. This works especially well if the shade of red matches the shade of your dress closely. You could wear a scarf with red and violet stripes, or a sash with an abstract print in red and orange. For a retro vibe, look for polka dotted or paisley patterns with red in them. 2-3. Opt for deep or muted colors over bright hues. Deep shades, like charcoal gray and midnight blue, add color without looking too flashy. Bright colors may compete with a red dress, and could even create a tacky vibe. Deeper shades may be muted in contrast to the red dress, but they can still add a fun pop of color! For instance, throw on a chunky knit scarf and matching lace up ballet flats in deep royal purple. 2-4. Mix in shades of brown for casual and dressy looks. Try a simple, chocolate brown colored pump matched with a solid brown belt if you’re wearing a formal red dress. For something casual, try earthy brown sandals and oversized brown purse for a bohemian vibe. For jewelry, look for pendants and earrings that contain brown gemstones like tiger's eye, amber, jasper, or topaz. The gemstones can be large, but only opt for one or two statement pieces. The red of your dress should still be the main attraction. 2-5. Wear it with green accessories during the holiday season. Holiday parties and other related events are the perfect opportunity to mix in some of your favorite green accessories. For instance, you could pair a red sweater dress with deep green pumps and a matching green knit scarf to create a fun, seasonal look at an office party. 3. Going Classic with Black and White 3-1. Break things up with a black belt and shoes. Black is a strong neutral that can hold its ground against a red dress without stealing the show. Wear a thin black belt around your waist to break up the monotony of a solid red smock dress. Finish the look with black tights and black knee-high boots. 3-2. Use black to add a little sexiness to your outfit. Black can look strong and classy, but the right black accessories can really turn up the heat. Wrap a black lace shawl around your shoulders for an evening look. Carry a matching black clutch with lacy accents. Complete the look with your highest pair of black stilettos or heeled boots. 3-3. Lighten things up with white accessories. Pairing red with white works really well for casual and retro looks. Give your red summer sundress a retro vibe by wearing white bangle bracelets and white sandals. White sneakers can look great with the right casual red dress, too. For a 50s pinup vibe, try wearing your red dress with strappy or open-toed white heels. Tone down a red dress at the office by wearing it with a soft white cardigan. 3-4. Try a black and white pattern. Patterns create added visual interest, but a simple black and white pattern keeps it subtle. Try a black and white polka dot handbag for timeless appeal, or get a little edgy with a large zebra print shoulder bag. Flats with black and white stripes can look great, too. 3-5. Pull out your vintage pearls to add simple sophistication. A simple pearl necklace, matched with small pearl earrings, can create a classy, elegant look, especially when paired with a white or cream shoe. Add a pearl cocktail ring for even more glam. To create a 20s look, drape a long string of pearls over the front of the dress, or double the string up for a flapper vibe. 3-6. Choose jewelry with black gemstones like onyx, or even black pearls. A simple necklace or tennis bracelet adorned with black stones is a good way to add a small trace of black to your outfit. Black diamonds are also popular now, although they are on the pricier side. For a unique yet sophisticated look, wear black pearls. 4. Adding Metallics for a Glam Look 4-1. Wear a simple gold or silver necklace. Gold and silver look equally great with red, but too much of one or the other could detract from the dress. For dresses with low necklines, go with a simple and classy gold or silver chain. It creates just enough sparkle to complement your overall look. Add a little more glamour with a pair of matching drop earrings or ring. For a sleek, Art Deco look, choose silver jewelry. Try a long silver chain and vintage silver cocktail ring. 4-2. Make a statement with metallic shoes and a matching handbag. Wear a formal red dress with glitzy gold heels and matching golden clutch. Pair a casual red sundress with silver sandals and oversized silver bag for an informal bohemian vibe. Whether you go with gold or silver, tie the look together by adding a single piece of matching jewelry. 4-3. Go for a two-toned look. While silver and gold can be used separately for a red dress, mixing the two together can create a look that is both visually interesting and classy. Look for two-toned jewelry, or create the look yourself by layering thick gold and silver necklaces around your neck. Follow through by matching a silver chain belt with a gold shoe, or vice versa. 4-4. Maximize your glitz and glamour with diamonds. Wear just enough diamonds to add sparkle to your ensemble without competing with your bold red dress. Pair simple diamond stud earrings with a delicate diamond pendant, or wear showcase diamond chandelier earrings and skip the rest of your jewelry altogether.

Deeper shades may be muted in contrast to the red dress, but they can still add a fun pop of color!\\nFor instance, throw on a chunky knit scarf and matching lace up ballet flats in deep royal purple.\\n2-4. Mix in shades of brown for casual and dressy looks.\\nTry a simple, chocolate brown colored pump matched with a solid brown belt if you’re wearing a formal red dress. For something casual, try earthy brown sandals and oversized brown purse for a bohemian vibe.\\nFor jewelry, look for pendants and earrings that contain brown gemstones like tiger's eye, amber, jasper, or topaz.\\nThe gemstones can be large, but only opt for one or two statement pieces. The red of your dress should still be the main attraction.\\n2-5. Wear it with green accessories during the holiday season.\\nHoliday parties and other related events are the perfect opportunity to mix in some of your favorite green accessories. For instance, you could pair a red sweater dress with deep green pumps and a matching green knit scarf to create a fun, seasonal look at an office party.\\n3. Going Classic with Black and White\\n3-1. Break things up with a black belt and shoes.\\nBlack is a strong neutral that can hold its ground against a red dress without stealing the show. Wear a thin black belt around your waist to break up the monotony of a solid red smock dress. Finish the look with black tights and black knee-high boots.\\n3-2. Use black to add a little sexiness to your outfit.\\nBlack can look strong and classy, but the right black accessories can really turn up the heat. Wrap a black lace shawl around your shoulders for an evening look. Carry a matching black clutch with lacy accents. Complete the look with your highest pair of black stilettos or heeled boots.\\n3-3. Lighten things up with white accessories.\\nPairing red with white works really well for casual and retro looks. Give your red summer sundress a retro vibe by wearing white bangle bracelets and white sandals. White sneakers can look great with the right casual red dress, too.\\nFor a 50s pinup vibe, try wearing your red dress with strappy or open-toed white heels.\\nTone down a red dress at the office by wearing it with a soft white cardigan.\\n3-4. Try a black and white pattern.\\nPatterns create added visual interest, but a simple black and white pattern keeps it subtle. Try a black and white polka dot handbag for timeless appeal, or get a little edgy with a large zebra print shoulder bag. Flats with black and white stripes can look great, too.\\n3-5. Pull out your vintage pearls to add simple sophistication.\\nA simple pearl necklace, matched with small pearl earrings, can create a classy, elegant look, especially when paired with a white or cream shoe. Add a pearl cocktail ring for even more glam. To create a 20s look, drape a long string of pearls over the front of the dress, or double the string up for a flapper vibe.\\n3-6. Choose jewelry with black gemstones like onyx, or even black pearls.\\nA simple necklace or tennis bracelet adorned with black stones is a good way to add a small trace of black to your outfit. Black diamonds are also popular now, although they are on the pricier side. For a unique yet sophisticated look, wear black pearls.\\n4. Adding Metallics for a Glam Look\\n4-1. Wear a simple gold or silver necklace.\\nGold and silver look equally great with red, but too much of one or the other could detract from the dress. For dresses with low necklines, go with a simple and classy gold or silver chain. It creates just enough sparkle to complement your overall look.\\nAdd a little more glamour with a pair of matching drop earrings or ring.\\nFor a sleek, Art Deco look, choose silver jewelry. Try a long silver chain and vintage silver cocktail ring.\\n4-2. Make a statement with metallic shoes and a matching handbag.\\nWear a formal red dress with glitzy gold heels and matching golden clutch. Pair a casual red sundress with silver sandals and oversized silver bag for an informal bohemian vibe. Whether you go with gold or silver, tie the look together by adding a single piece of matching jewelry.\\n4-3. Go for a two-toned look.\\nWhile silver and gold can be used separately for a red dress, mixing the two together can create a look that is both visually interesting and classy. Look for two-toned jewelry, or create the look yourself by layering thick gold and silver necklaces around your neck. Follow through by matching a silver chain belt with a gold shoe, or vice versa.\\n4-4. Maximize your glitz and glamour with diamonds.\\nWear just enough diamonds to add sparkle to your ensemble without competing with your bold red dress. Pair simple diamond stud earrings with a delicate diamond pendant, or wear showcase diamond chandelier earrings and skip the rest of your jewelry altogether.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"A red dress can be a bold fashion statement.

How to Accessorize a Silver Dress
1. Deciding on a Color Scheme 1-1. Wear silver. An all-silver color scheme keeps things simple and elegant. Deciding on a color scheme first can help you determine what accessories to look for later. The best color schemes for a silver dress are simple and cool-toned. It works best if your dress is a light, shimmering hue of silver. You should also try to match the hue of your accessories to the hue of your dress. Stick with delicate, dainty jewelry and simple silver heels with little adornment, emphasizing the simplicity of this option. Silver is a great neutral, though, so you can pair lots of different colors and types of accessories.ea 1-2. Mix silver and gold. This creates another elegant, classy look, but one with more variety and visual interest. Look for two-toned jewelry that mixes gold and silver. Each piece should have a two-toned element for the sake of consistency. 1-3. Add some black or gunmetal. These tones are a little less feminine and more masculine, so you can get away with bulkier jewelry and accessories if you go this route. You could even consider black leather bracelets and heavier black heels or boots to create the edgy look. This results in an overall bolder look. 1-4. Stick with blue tones. Colors are a versatile option and can either look elegant or bold. Just stick with cool hues. Blues and blue-tinted shades of purple or turquoise work best. Avoid warm colors, since these are more likely to clash with the cold tone of a silver dress. 2. Choosing the Right Jewelry 2-1. Choose an unobtrusive necklace. A silver dress is already a bold fashion move, and adding a loud necklace will only make your outfit seem unnecessarily gaudy. Your necklace should not compete with your dress. A loud silver dress needs to be accessorized with quieter jewelry, but you still have a number of options available to you. If sticking with silver or silver and gold, a dainty chain with a simple pendant works nicely, depending on your dress’s neckline. For an appropriately bolder look, wear a necklace with chunky black or blue beads mixed with gunmetal. It can be a choker or a long loop that drapes across your torso. 2-2. Pick out a simple bracelet. A delicate silver or two-toned chain bracelet adds a touch of class. Thin silver bangles are festive yet feminine. A thick, chunky bracelet in black, gunmetal, or deep blue adds contrast to your dress but avoids clashing or competing with it. When it comes to jewelry, less is more. Pick 2 areas of your body to accessorize (i.e. earrings and a necklace). 2-3. Balance out the look with silver earrings. Earrings can add just enough sparkle by your face to help correct the potential imbalance caused by having too much silver concentrated on the middle of your body. Choose the right posts, hoops, or dangling earrings to match your color scheme. 2-4. Add a touch of silver to your hair. Sparkly, decorative hair clips can either be playful or elegant, depending on the design. These, like earrings, can also help balance out the silver on your body. 3. Accessorizing with Diamonds 3-1. Mix and match your diamond accessories. Diamonds play with the natural sparkle of a silver dress. If done in excess, however, they can overwhelm your appearance. When done in small doses, diamonds can add a glamorous sparkle to your already shimmering appearance. Pair one or two key diamond pieces with non-diamond jewelry. For example, you could wear a diamond pendant or choker with thin silver bangle bracelets. Avoid matching diamond jewelry with black or gunmetal accessories. Diamonds look best when paired with other feminine pieces, and many black and gunmetal pieces are too masculine to coordinate well. 3-2. Wear all diamonds, but keep it subtle. Match a simple diamond pendant with a dainty diamond bracelet and diamond stud earrings. 3-3. Choose one strong diamond piece and pair it with a few less extravagant pieces. For instance, you could wear chandelier earrings with a simple diamond pendant, or a glamorous diamond tennis bracelet with diamond stud earrings. 3-4. Keep the diamonds off the dress. Diamond jewelry may blend in with the silver fabric. For bracelets and earrings, this does not pose much problem. This can, however, make selecting a diamond necklace difficult. Avoid long necklaces that position the diamond element directly above the material of the dress. Also avoid extravagant diamond necklaces that throw too many diamonds directly above the dress’s neckline. 4. Picking Your Shoes 4-1. Try a silver sandal with thin straps, an open toe, and a narrow stiletto heel to create a very feminine look. Gold-tone accents can provide some contrast without taking away from the elegance of the look. A silver dress is somewhat formal by nature. Your shoes can help dress it up or down, but be wary of extremely casual shoes. 4-2. Consider black heels. They do not need to be as delicate as silver heels when matched with a silver dress, but you should still avoid shoes with a chunky platform heel. 4-3. Wear colored shoes but they can look tacky if done incorrectly. Choose a deep blue-tone if going with a solid color shoe. Otherwise, pick out a silver, black, or gunmetal heel with colored stones or other accents. 4-4. Consider a metallic or patent leather flat. Flats are a casual style of shoe, and most will not work well with a silver dress, which is naturally formal. Some metallic flats or shiny patent leather flats are dressy enough, however, to match with simple matte silver dresses. 5. Carrying a Handbag 5-1. Carry a small clutch. Clutch handbags are feminine and classy. Select a simple, solid print clutch decorated with a few gemstones or another similar touch of sparkle.The right purse or handbag will wrap up your entire look. Keep consistent with your color scheme, and avoid carrying a bag that introduces too much bold color. 5-2. Wear a large shoulder bag. If going for a slightly bolder look, choose a large silver or gunmetal shoulder bag. A black or dark blue bag may also work, but could appear too casual to match well with your dress. If you want to include black or color on your bag, it is best to do so by selecting a bag with colored accents instead of a solid color print. 6. Applying Make-Up 6-1. Apply a foundation that matches your natural skin tone. Avoid warm-tone cosmetics as much as possible, but don’t fight against your natural skin tone. Keep your cheeks looking natural, and spice things up by playing with eye and lip color. 6-2. Layer on a bronze-tinted blush, but don't overdo it. Keep your cheek color light. Consider a pink blush if you have fair skin. Choose a peach blush if your skin is medium tone. Try a plum shade if you have darker toned skin. 6-3. Don't hold back on your eyeshadow color. Apply dark, shimmering metallic shades to make your eyes stand out. Avoid light silvers or grays, even if you opted for all-silver accessories. If you want to keep the all-silver look, opt for medium to darker shades of gray. Go with either dark bronzes or coal grays if you accessorized with silver and gold accessories. Try adding some variety into your look with a color eye shadow. Stick with blue tones. Think dark blues, eggplant violets, and deep turquoises. 6-4. Apply black eyeliner to your eyes. You may add liquid glitter liner over the black liner to give your eyes a bit more sparkle. 6-5. Finish your eyes with black mascara, if desired. 6-6. Stay away from bright red lipsticks. Instead, use violet-red colors like mauve or pink tones. Tips You may also opt to keep your accessories to a minimum. A silver dress is bold enough to stand on its own, and reducing the number of accessories you wear places a stronger emphasis on the dress itself. Apply a bit of body glitter for an extra, subtle shimmer that matches your dress. Use a brush to add a dusting of glitter along your cheekbones, shoulders, and collarbones. Keep it light, though. You don't want your skin to look as silver as your dress.

How to Accessorize a Strapless Dress
1. Playing to Your Dress’s Strengths 1-1. Look at your dress’s length. Strapless dresses come in all varieties and lengths, some brushing generously across the floor as you walk and others barely skimming your upper thigh. In order to accessorize properly, you should take note of your dress’s length and add accoutrement accordingly. If your strapless dress is short, play up your shoes. Depending on how much walking you’ll be doing and how comfortable you are in heels, you can select some flashy peep-toe pumps or towering stilettos in which to prance the night away. Long strapless dresses are elegant and visually striking. They don’t require flashy jewelry to make them look refined, so it can be a good idea, If you’re wearing a floor-length dress, to let it (and your décolletage!) do the talking. If you’ve opted for one of these show-stopping full-length gowns and you find yourself a bit unsteady on heels, consider kitten heels or simple ballet flats. A floor-length gown will likely obscure your shoes most of the time. 1-2. Complement the color and pattern of your dress. You can take a cue from the color and print of your dress in order to determine which accessories you want to use. If your dress is monochromatic or otherwise understated, you can make your footwear the focal point of your entire outfit. To do so, slip on some brightly colored wedges or strappy stilettos. On the other hand, if your dress features a bold print or pattern, go for a solid, neutral hue of shoe. Think about breaking up a monochromatic dress with a belt. A thick, shiny, or ornate belt can take the place of a statement jewelry piece while adding visual interest the solid blocks of color. Imagine a little black strapless dress as if it were a blank canvas. The little black dress (LBD) is what you make of it, so go bold and colorful with a statement jewelry piece can transform a simple, minimalist look into a fancy and sophisticated one. 1-3. Consider the cut of your dress. The overall look and tone of a strapless dress depends heavily on how it is cut to fit the body, so, before deciding on accessories, you might want to think about how its design. If your strapless dress is form-fitting and hugs the body, don’t ruin your sleek look with a clunky handbag. Rather, choose a small, elegant clutch that complements your dress.. A loose, flowy strapless dress can be simultaneously comfortable and flattering. If you want to add a little structure to your dress, though, pop on a wide belt and immediately accentuate your waist. This easy step can also wholly transform your dress from a single article of clothing into an entire, coordinated outfit. 1-4. Take care of your underwear. Just because your undergarments won’t be visible, does not mean that they aren’t an important and even integral part of your ensemble! No matter which strapless dress you choose or what accessories you add to it, the right strapless bra is essential to support your breasts and define your waistline. 2. Showcasing a Statement Piece 2-1. Take stock of your jewelry box. If you have a particularly stunning or stage-stealing piece that goes with your dress, use it! The key is pick one bold statement piece as the focal point of the outfit, and smaller, less conspicuous pieces as the supporting accoutrement. Think of earrings as an almost-mandatory element of your strapless look, as bare lobes can look out of place when hovering above bare shoulders. Even if you are donning a statement necklace, pop on some small stud earrings that will complete the look but won’t compete with it. If you want to showcase your neck and collarbone by leaving them unadorned, opt for a pair of sparkly or dangling (or both!) earrings. Never wear a statement necklace and statement earrings. Choose one! If you wear earrings and a necklace together, make sure that they complement each other and that at least one of them is understated. 2-2. Consider leaving your neck and collarbone unadorned if you don’t have a piece of statement jewelry you want to wear. Flaunting a bare neck and collarbone with your strapless dress means that you can play up a different statement accessory. An eye-catching belt or shawl can make for just as effective a statement piece as jewelry. Going understated on jewelry can also allow you more liberty with your makeup. Feel free to add a pop of drama with smoky eyes or scarlet lips. 2-3. Play up your shoes. Your shoes are an accessory as well as a necessity. If your strapless dress is simple and you have a pair of show-stopping heels you’ve been dying to trot out, here’s your excuse! Designer pumps always make great statement pieces, especially if they add a pop of color to your ensemble like the signature red soles of Louboutins. Can’t afford designer heels? No problem! Trendy glitter-encrusted pumps and booties are instant scene-stealers, and they can be found at a range of online and brick-and-mortar retailers. If your beachfront wedding makes heels a problem, you needn’t rule out the possibility of popping on a statement shoe. Find a pair of strappy, lace-up gladiators and prance away! 2-4. Emphasize one feature of your face with makeup. If you don’t consider makeup an “accessory,” think again! The right makeup will elevate whatever look you’re going for, be it sweet and simple or posh and sophisticated. Just be sure not to overdo it and risk looking clownish or garish. If you want to play up your eyes, select a dark eyeliner, shadow, and mascara. Pair the dark eye with a nude or neutral lip. For daytime or more casual gatherings, polish off your easygoing ensemble with some light mascara, pink blush, and dewy lips. 3. Prioritizing Function Over Fashion 3-1. Review the event’s details and think about how you’ll likely be spending your time at the event. Attending a fancy event doesn’t mean that you have to worry about tripping in your stilettos, losing your pashmina, or tolerating heavy earrings. Select your accessories based on how they can help you be comfortable. 3-2. Bundle up with a stylish wrap. Since your strapless dress necessarily exposes quite a bit of skin, it’s a good idea to bring along some kind of cover-up. Stash it in your purse just in case, or don it at home and make it part of your outfit. Even if you are attending a summertime event, a gauzy cover-up can come in handy in case of gusty winds or rain showers. For cooler seasons, throw on a fur stole, cardigan, or blanket scarf. If you have trouble matching separates, ask the salesperson for help in selecting a cover up at the same time as you’re shopping for your strapless dress. Already own the dress but still need the cover up? Bring a picture of the dress and your friendly salesperson can still assist! 3-3. Camouflage your trouble spots. If you’re anxious about exposing your arms, shop for a matching cardigan or lightweight jacket at the same time as you purchase your dress. This will allow you to experiment with lots of options and ensure that you find a combination you feel confident wearing for the entire event. If you have other trouble spots, think creatively. Sport an eye-catching necklace that will draw attention to your face if you feel insecure about your body. Wrap a scarf around your neck if you have scars or wrinkles on your décolletage, and pop some high heels on your feet if you struggle with stocky legs in order to make them appear longer and leaner. 3-4. Snag the right bag. No matter what you’re doing or where you’re going, you’ll need some kind of vessel in which to carry your essentials. If you’ll be dancing or travelling from place to place, or if your prone to misplacing things, select a clutch with a strap. You can still be stylish if you have a lot of things you need to carry with you. Whether you’re a new mom who needs a diaper bag or a professional continuously saddled with her computer, you can find the right slouchy hobo bag or tote that seamlessly blends fashion and utility. 3-5. Protect your eyes if you’ll be outside. You don’t want to be squinting through your friend’s birthday or find your mascara smudged in the wedding pictures, so make sure you grab a pair of sunglasses for the sake of both looks and comfort. For a black, classic dress, opt for oversized retro square frames. For a breezy summer get-up, don a pair of gold-rimmed aviators or colorful round frames. Tips No matter how you decide to accessorize your strapless dress, the right strapless bra is essential to support your breasts and define your waistline.[19] X Research source Once you’ve decided how you want to accessorize your strapless dress, try on your dress and accessories for a friend who you can trust. Get her opinions and tweak your look accordingly! If your shoes are open-toed, don’t forget to make sure your toenails are perfectly polished in a hue that compliments your shoe and dress! Warnings Strapless dresses are--by necessity--tight around the bust. This can cause the skin near your armpits to hang over the dress a bit. Unless you have no body fat in this area of your body, this is just a reality of wearing a strapless dress. If it bothers you, accessorize with a wrap, stole, cardigan, or other cover.

1. Wearing Statement Pieces 1-1. Bring your outfit to life with a statement necklace. An eye-catching pendant revitalizes any ensemble. You can also draw attention to your figure with a long necklace. Layer multiple strands at once to create a more dramatic effect. With bling of different sizes and styles your dress will fit in at any occasion. Neutral metallics support a more conservative look. A necklace with chunky stones and bold color create a funky look. A tattoo inspired necklace with its intricate patterns is pure vamp. 1-2. Wear a daring bracelet. A wide metallic bangle captures a futuristic look while leather studded cuffs show off your inner rebel. Stacking multiple bracelets together will have a bolder effect. 1-3. Go for a big and bold pair of earrings. Tasseled dangly earrings and sparkly hoops are both strong choices. On the other hand, larger studs will draw extra attention to your face. Opt for smaller studs for a simpler, more elegant look. 1-4. Accent your look with a watch or a brooch. Go for a masculine-inspired (larger sized) watch to show off your sporty side. Embellish your outfit simply, with a classic brooch. Alternately, pair the dress with something more modern like a button-inspired brooch, or think outside the box with one made of ribbons or feathers. 1-5. Wear an embellished collar or scarf to draw attention to your neckline. If you're sick of your neckline, change it up with a detachable collar. For a semi-formal affair, pair your dress with a beautiful yet delicate neck scarf. A pashmina offers the most coverage for your neck and shoulders when it gets cold. 1-6. Use a chunky belt to draw attention to your waist. Pick a metal belt and clasp it around the smallest part of your waist to show off your shape. You can also try a brightly colored or glittery belt that pops against the black. This will add shape to a looser dress or emphasize form in an already fitted one. 1-7. Wear eye-catching tights to draw attention to your legs. Stay warm and stylish by adding a pair of tights to your ensemble. Try black tights for a more traditional look. For something understated pick a nude or a brown colored stocking. Try polka-dotted tights or sparkly stockings to add a sense of volume to your dress. Experiment with colorful stockings. Purple, orange, or even bright red are especially fun to try. Wear these bold colored tights on a night out rather than a day at the office. 2. Experimenting with Layers 2-1. Add a women’s button-down top under your dress for a preppy new look. Pick a color other than black so the collar and sleeves really pop. If you are feeling experimental, add a men’s button-down top over your dress to create an interesting structure and block coloring. Opt for a throwback to 90’s grunge by tying a plaid, button-down flannel around your waist. Pair it with chunky black boots for the full effect. 2-2. Wear a sweater for a relaxed look. Try an oversized sweater, a button-down cardigan, or a tighter shrug. Use your sweater to add a pop of color to your outfit. Create a casual style that will double as an extra layer in case the weather gets cold. 2-3. Pick your favorite mid-sized jacket. Add an edge to your sophisticated look when you wear a jacket over your LBD for an evening on the town. Go for a tailored jacket to make the silhouette of your dress seem new. Choose the unexpected with a military jacket or give off a cool, tough vibe with a leather bomber jacket. 2-4. Try a faux-fur jacket. Add a bohemian flair with faux fur. Try different colors and lengths to find the best size and fit for you. Faux fur is a very bold and eye-catching material so be careful not to clutter your look. If you choose a faux fur jacket, make your other accessories minimal. 2-5. Go for a long printed or colorful coat. Break up the monochromatic palette of your dress with a long, bold coat. A bright green floor-length or a floral mid-calf length coat is perfect to draw attention away from an older dress that you may have gotten sick of. 3. Picking Your Purse 3-1. Carry a larger shoulder or handbag for everyday use. A larger bag can hold all your daily essentials-even your lunch! A larger shoulder bag in a neutral hue plus an accessory you love creates a casual, versatile, and completed look. If you always wear your grandmother’s citrine brooch with your dress, find a large shoulder bag in yellow to match. 3-2. Carry a cross body bag at a semi-formal event. Create a bohemian effect with a cross body bag. Wear it on a night out at an edgy party, or pick a textured, more muted cross-body for a casual daytime look. 3-3. Carry a clutch with your most formal ensembles. Choose a fun bold color or a glittery metallic pattern. Create a dramatic look by choosing an oversized clutch made with relaxed leather. 4. Choosing the Right Shoes 4-1. Stay traditional with classic black pumps. Go for patent leather or suede and look timeless wherever you go. Keep your look simple with black shoes or use them to help draw people’s attention to another louder accessory. 4-2. Liven up your look with fun heels. Pick a stiletto heel in a fun color or style. Experiment with heel shape and height, color, and embellishment. Don’t forget about funky animal prints. Echo your shoe color in a matching belt or clutch. 4-3. Bring out your conservative heels for formal gatherings. It's possible to keep your shoe conservative but still polished! The key is to choose a lower heel, like a kitten heel, in a neutral color like nude or black. A nude shoe will also draw out your leg and make it look longer - who can resist that? 4-4. Stay comfortable in strappy sandals. Try an eye-catching pair of gladiator sandals or a pair of glittery sandals with ankle straps. Choose subtler styles with more muted tones for casual affairs. 4-5. Capture casual sophistication with flats. You can walk the line between casual and sophisticated by pairing flats with your LBD. An ideal flat will have a little embellishment on it, or a metallic hue to add some excitement. Though, not all flats are feminine. A pair of conservative loafers might be a good match for your masculine watch. 4-6. Adopt a cool, city look with boots or booties. As the weather gets colder you'll want to cover up your feet and legs with a high-heeled boot or ankle boot to look trendy. Go a more dramatic route with an over the knee boot or get edgy with a cowboy boot. A riding boot will add structure, especially when paired with a tailored top to match. 4-7. Wear sneakers for casual outings. Mix and match formal and casual, or "high" and "low" fashion, when you want to be experimental. Let your feet rest as you run errands or take a walk during the day. 5. Styling Your Hair and Face 5-1. Volumize your hair. If you don't have the money to go out and buy new accessories or you just don't want to add much to your LBD, treat your hair like an accessory. Pump up your hair with high volume whether it is loose or in a fancy up-do. Try a messy braid on the weekends when you're out and about. 5-2. Use a hair accessory. Accessorize your dress by styling your hair. A sparkly headband, a small jeweled crown, and an embellished bobby pin or barrette will create an extra feminine look while helping to secure your hair. Place your headband half an inch back from your hairline to hold everything in place. 5-3. Add flare with a hat. Try the traditional wide-brimmed hat for a classic LBD look. Add a funky twist with a fedora over your messy braid. 5-4. Rely on a simple red lipstick. Since the LBD can often speak for itself, you may opt to skip accessories all together. Keep focus on the lines and shapes of the dress itself by accessorizing with nothing more than a timeless bright red lipstick. 5-5. Add a pair of sunglasses to finish off the look. Pick a more traditional pair of black sunglasses and focus on the style and shape of the lens. Alternatively, choose a trendier style. Try white or light pink rims with black lenses or black or silver rims with multi-colored lenses. Tips You can exude poise and style without spending a fortune. Don’t worry about replacing expensive pearls with faux-pearls you can find and afford more easily.

How to Acclimate Two Dogs
1. Introducing Two Dogs 1-1. Perform a scent handshake before the dogs meet. To give two dogs an introduction to each other before they meet in person, you can do what is called a scent handshake. This is when you swap the dogs' blankets to allow them to get used to each other's scents. Take the blankets off of the dogs' beds and swap them so that each dog has the other dog's blanket. Try to do this at least a day before they meet to give them a chance to investigate the smell and get used to it. 1-2. Choose a neutral location for the introduction between your dogs. Choose a location, such as a park or a friend's backyard, that neither of your dogs have visited before. This will help level the playing field, so neither of the dogs feels territorial about where they meet. If you introduce your dogs to each other at home, the old dog may display aggressive, territorial behavior toward the new dog. If you obtain your new dog from a shelter, the shelter may require you to introduce your dogs to one another at the shelter before you are allowed to take them home. 1-3. Take your dogs to a neutral location. Ask a friend or family member to meet you at the location separately with one of your dogs. This will allow you to keep the dogs separated until a proper introduction is made. Keep leashes on both dogs. This will restrain your dogs and prevent them from attacking one another if aggressive behavior is displayed. 1-4. Walk both dogs at a distance from each other. The dogs should be able to see each other but should not be so close that they would feel threatened by the other dog's presence. Then you will gradually move the dogs closer together as you walk. If there is no sign of aggression at a distance, you can then move closer to each other. Pay attention to both dog's body language. Growling, teeth-baring, raised hair, and long, uninterrupted stares can all indicate aggression. If this occurs you should move the dogs away from each other or immediately redirect the dog's attention. 1-5. Allow the dogs to sniff each other. Instruct your partner to start walking their dog, then begin to follow them with your dog. You should be walking close enough so that your dog is walking directly behind the other dog. Continue to walk until your dog begins to sniff the other dog from behind as they are walking. Although the dog in front may pause when they sense your dog sniffing, encourage all parties to continue to walk. Trade positions with your partner after your dog has sniffed the other dog. This will allow the dog that was previously in front to sniff your dog from behind. Continue to trade positions with your partner until both dogs have experienced the front and back walking positions several times. This will allow your dogs to become more acclimated and familiar with one another. Also allow your dogs to sniff one another's excrement and urine after each dog has finished the act. This is a form of communication between dogs and indicates that they are becoming acclimated and comfortable with one another. 1-6. Walk the dogs side by side. After the dogs have met each other, you should walk them together for at least 30 minutes. This will allow your dogs to establish direct contact as they continue to maintain a companionable relationship. Give your dogs positive praise when you see them acting friendly with one another. Petting your dogs and using verbal praise will encourage them to continue to get along with each other. Take a break every few minutes to let the dogs have direct interaction but then continue on the walk. Keep close supervision during direct contact so that you can redirect your dogs if problems arise. 1-7. Take your dogs home. After the walk, your dogs will hopefully be relaxed and familiar enough with one another to co-exist in the same living environment without displaying aggressive behavior. At this point, you can take your old dog and your new dog home and begin introducing your new dog to its new home. If you need to transport the dogs in a car at this point, you will want to keep them separated. They have met each other but are by no means ready to be put in the back of a car together, for example. 2. Getting the New Dog Acclimated at Home 2-1. Introduce the new dog to its new home gradually. Walk the dog around its new neighborhood before bringing it into its new home. Also, bring it to the area where you want it to go to the bathroom and allow it to do its business. Bring the dog into the house and immediately into the room where it will get food and water. Feed the dog and give it water, which will calm it down and get it ready for the grand tour. Then walk the dog through every room in the house slowly. Keep the dog on its leash while you walk it through the house. 2-2. Keep the dogs separated at first. This will allow you to monitor interactions between dogs closely. Let the dogs sniff at each other through a baby gate. This will allow them each to get used to the scent of the other dog without the risk of aggression. If you need to be out of the room, place the dogs in separate rooms so that no conflict arises without you being able to defuse it. 2-3. Allow the dogs to establish their own hierarchy. Dogs will naturally establish a hierarchy that allows them to function as a pack. You need to let them work out this relationship on their own, as long as they are not hurting each other in the process. There will naturally be a more dominant dog and a more submissive dog in the new relationship. This does not mean that one dog should beat up on the other dog continually. You will need to use your best judgement about whether the relationship is on the right path toward pack behavior or if it is rooted in aggression. 2-4. Contact a trainer or animal behaviorist if you cannot get the dogs acclimated to each other. If you cannot get your dogs to get used to each other, you may need to bring in a professional. They should be able to give you good strategies that you can use to acclimate your dogs to each other. To find a trainer or animal behaviorist in your area, ask your veterinarian or the organization you got your new dog from for a recommendation. Warnings If you are bringing a new puppy into your home, do not leave the puppy in the company of your adult dog unsupervised. Your puppy may unintentionally pester the adult dog and elicit bites.[9] X Research source Keep your puppy separated from your adult dog when unsupervised until the puppy is at least 4 months old.

How to Acclimate Your Betta
1. Setting up Your Betta’s Tank 1-1. Choose a tank for your betta. In their natural habitat, bettas live in murky, stagnant water. Although they can survive in very small, cramped tanks, it’s healthier for the fish to give it a larger environment. Look for a tank that is holds around five gallons of water, as this will give the fish plenty of space. Do not keep your betta in a tank smaller than 2.5 gallons. Since betta fish breathe air directly from the top of the water, your tank does not need a filtration system. In fact, it’s better if the tank doesn’t have one—the current created by the filtration is stressful to bettas. 1-2. Prepare the tank Wash the fish tank thoroughly and then rinse the gravel carefully in hot tap water. Do not use soap or detergent on the gravel. Then layer the gravel carefully at the bottom of the tank. Rinse any decorations and put them into the tank. The tank does not necessarily have to be a traditional fish tank; any large container will do. It’s important that you include gravel in the fish tank. Opt for a neutral color, and for relatively small-grained gravel. The neutral color will calm your betta, and bacteria that build up on the gravel will digest your fish’s waste and keep the water relatively clean. 1-3. Fill up the tank with tap water. Do not use mineral water in the tank, since it lacks important minerals that your betta fish will need. It’s important that, when filled with tap water, your fish tank will have plenty of surface area at the top. Betta fish do breathe underwater like most fish, but come up to the surface for an extra gulp of air at times. For this reason, a narrow-topped container like a wine bottle does not make a suitable tank for a betta. 1-4. Purchase a water conditioner. A conditioner will remove chlorine (which is unhealthy for fish) from your tap water, and also filter out other impurities and heavy metals. Follow the instructions on the conditioner bottle, and remember to add this as you fill the tank with water. You’ll also need to add conditioner every time you change the water in the fish tank (roughly once a week). If you bought your betta at a pet store, you should have received a water conditioner specifically made for bettas. If you were not given one, you’ll need to purchase a conditioner on your own. Conditioners should be available at any pet store, and can also be easily purchased online. The amount of conditioner that you use will vary based on the size of your fish tank. Follow the directions on the bottle regarding the amount of conditioner to use, and the amount of time to let it mix in the water before it’s safe for your fish. If you live in a rural area where the tap water is not chlorinated, you may not need to use a conditioner. Some conditioners get rid of heavy metals though, so you can use it if you need. 2. Acclimating Your Betta from a Bag 2-1. Float the bag at the top of the fish tank. Before you do this, make sure the bag has enough air so the betta can breathe. Letting the bag float at the top of the betta’s new tank will allow the water in the bag (with the betta in it) to match the temperature of the water in the tank. This process is known as “floating” the betta. Let the bag sit in the tank for 15-30 minutes. 2-2. Mix the water from the tank with the water in the bag. Once the bag has floated in the fish tank for about 15 minutes, you can start to expose your betta to the water in the fish tank. Use scissors to cut a hole in the bag. Using a baster or a small cup, pour about a cup of the tank water into the bag. You’ll need to stand there and hold the bag upright during this time. If you release the bag or let it tilt too far to one side or the other, the water will spill out into the tank. 2-3. Let the water sit for 15 minutes. Your betta needs this time to slowly adjust to the temperature, pH level, and mineral hardness of the water in the tank. If you rush these steps and do not give your betta time to acclimate to the water, it will be harmful to the fish’s health. Repeat the step one more time: mix another cup of tank water into the bag with the betta. Continue to hold the bag in the tank during this time. Make sure to keep the cut in the bag facing upright. 2-4. Release the betta into the fish tank. After acclimating the fish for roughly 30 minutes, take the bag, turn it sideways, and allow the betta to swim out. Your betta may take some time to get used its new surroundings, but it should be comfortable living in the water of its new tank at this point. Avoid adding the water from the bag to the tank. After the fish has been acclimated, you can also take an aquarium net and gently place your betta in the tank. Do not feed your betta right away. The fish will probably not eat for the first day it’s in a new tank. Some bettas will refuse to eat for the first three days, sometimes even a week. 3. Acclimating Your Betta from a Cup 3-1. Float the cup containing your betta at the top of its new fish tank. At this stage, you want your betta to get used to the water and its temperature. A sudden exposure to the (probably colder) water of the fish tank would be harmful to your betta. Let the cup float for about 15 minutes. 3-2. Pour some of the tank water into the cup. Do this slowly, using a baster or a small cup. Do not pour the tank water directly onto the betta; pour the water off to the side of the fish. At this point, the cup should still be floating in the fish-tank water. The betta needs to get used to some of the tank water, as it will have a different mineral hardness and pH level, in addition to a different temperature. Leave this to sit for 15 minutes. 3-3. Add a little bit more of the tank water. You want the tank water and water from the cup to be very well mixed—almost at a 1:1 ratio—before you place the betta fish in the tank. Again, wait for 15 more minutes. At this point, you can use your fingers to feel the temperature of the fish-tank water and the cup water. They should be roughly the same temperature. 3-4. Transfer your betta from the cup to the fish tank. Using an aquarium net, gently take your betta out of its cup and move it into its new tank. Be gentle, as you do not want to poke or harm your new fish. If the water in the betta’s cup is relatively clean of excrement and silt, you can pour the fish and its water directly into the tank. Tips When acclimating your betta to a new tank, turn off the light in the tank. This will reduce your betta’s stress levels.[13] X Research source Do not put two male bettas together. They will fight to the death. Bettas usually do not eat fish-food flakes, and prefer pellets or live food. It depends on the individual, however.

How to Acclimate a Fish
1. Acclimating with the Floating Method 1-1. Turn off aquarium light and dim the lights in the room where you're aquarium is set up. Do this before you remove your fish from the carrying container, since fish are sensitive to light and may be traumatized by a sudden change in lighting. Once your fish is used to the tank, you can be less strict about lighting. It's a good idea to initially introduce your fish to a dim environment, as this will reduce the shock of being introduced to a new environment. 1-2. Float the bag in the water for 15-30 minutes. Your fish likely came in a bag from a pet store. If your fish did not come in a bag, you can transfer the fish and water to a small, plastic bag. Tie the end of the bag together and use a rubber band to seal the bag. It's important the bag is sealed tight, as your want your fish to stay in its original water for the initial 15-30 minutes minutes. Simply set the bag on top of the water in the quarantine tank. The fish bag should float on the water's surface. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the bag during this time to make sure it does not fall over or come undone. For about 15 minutes, allow the bag to float. This way, the water in the bag will gradually become the same temperature as the water in the tank. 1-3. Cut open the bag. Cut it just under the metal clip or rubber band keeping the bag closed. Roll down the top edges of the bag about an inch. This will create an air pocket. This pocket will allow the bag to float as you begin adding water from the tank to the bag. If you're acclimating a heavier fish, you may have to place the bag in a floatable device like a small tupperware container. 1-4. Add water to the bag every 4 minutes. Get a measuring cup. Add a half cup of the aquarium water to the bag. Allow the bag to float for another 4 minutes. When 4 minutes have passed, add another half cup of aquarium water to the bag. Keep adding water from the aquarium every 4 minutes until the bag is completely full. How long this process will take varies. For a smaller bag, you may only need to add a couple of half cups. For a larger bag, you may need to add water 3 or 4 times before the bag is full. 1-5. Discard half the water and float the bag again. Once the bag is full, carefully lift it out of the water. Pour about half the water from the bag down the sink. After discarding the water, place the bag back in the quarantine tank. Allow the bag to start floating again. 1-6. Add water from the tank every 4 minutes. Once again, you will add half a cup of water to the bag every 4 minutes. Keep adding water from the tank until the bag is full. Once again, length will vary. For a small bag, you may only need to add a couple half cups. A larger bag may need to be filled 3 or 4 times until it's full. 1-7. Release the fish into the tank. You will need a small net here. Dip your net into the bag and get your fish in the net. Gently lift the fish out of the bag and place it into the tank. Make sure to be gentle as you net your fish. You do not want your fish to become tangled in the netting. Use a slow, swooping gesture to capture your fish. Be gentle, but quick, when you transfer your fish to the main water. You do not want your fish to be out of water for too long. 2. Acclimating with the Drip Method 2-1. Gather your supplies. For more sensitive fish, such as shrimp and sea stars, you may have to use the drip method. With the drip method, you set up a series of tubes running from the main tank to a bucket of water. You will need the following to use the drip method: You will need 3 or 5 gallon buckets, designed for aquarium use. You will also need airline tubing. 2-2. Float the fish initially. Fill the buckets a little under halfway full with clean aquarium water. You will need to start off by floating the fish to acclimate it to the water in the buckets. Let the sealed bag float for 15 minutes. Then, open the bag and roll the sides down to create an air tube that will keep the bag floating. Add half a cup of the water from the bucket to the bag. Wait 15 minutes. Add another half cup. Keep going until the bucket is full. 2-3. Transfer water to the bucket. Gently lift up the bag. Pour the contents of the bag, including your fish, into the water. You may have to tilt the bag at a 45 degree angle when pouring. This will keep your fish fully submerged in water as you transfer it to the bucket. 2-4. Set up a siphon drip. Place one end of the airline tube in the aquarium. You should also tie several very loose knots in the tubing. This will help regulate the flow of water and air. You want to get a rate of 2 or 4 drips per second. You can get water to start flowing by sucking gently on the other end of the tube. Once water begins dripping, place the other end of the tube on the edge of the bucket. 2-5. Discard half the water once the water doubles. It may take awhile for the water in the bucket to double, so be patient. In general, it takes about an hour. As soon as the water doubles, carefully discard half the water. You may have to scoop out the water using a cup or smaller bucket to avoid dumping your fish. When you're done discarding the water, put your tubing back in place. Once again, suck on the end of the tube you're placing in the bucket to get a drip going. Wait for the water in the bucket to double again. 2-6. Transfer your fish to the main tank. Use a bag to gently scoop out your fish. Gently pour the contents of the bag into the main aquarium. Some species of fish should never be exposed to air. Sponges, clams, and gorgonias cannot handle air. Be extra careful when transferring these types of fish. 3. Utilizing A Quarantine Tank 3-1. Get your tank. A quarantine tank is important as it keeps a fish away from the rest of your aquarium. It is highly reccomended you use a quarantine tank before acclimating your fish to your main aquarium. If a fish you just bought is sick, you do not want the infection to spread to the rest of your tank. After buying a new fish, purchase another tank to use as a quarantine tank. You do not need to get a fancy tank. A simple 10 to 20 gallon tank should be big enough for a quarantine tank. You can purchase an aquarium at a pet store. You can also order one online. 3-2. Install a filtration system. As with a regular aquarium, your quarantine tank should have some kind of filtration system. This will keep your fish safe and healthy during the quarantine period. If possible, go for a tank with a built in filtration system. If your tank does not have a built in system, purchase a filtration system at a local pet shop. Install it in the tank when you get home, following manufacturer's instructions. 3-3. Add a heater. This will keep the water at a safe temperature for your fish. You should also get a thermometer to record the temperature. You want to make sure the temperature is safe before transferring your fish to the quarantine tank. An aquarium may have a built in heating system. If yours does not, you can buy one at a pet store. The proper temperature depends on the type of fish you have. Ask at the pet store what a safe temperature for your fish would be. 3-4. Fill the aquarium with water from your main tank. The quarantine tank should be similar to your regular tank. Once your fish is ready to be transferred to the regular tank, you want the transition to be as smooth as possible. Take water from your main tank, using a bucket or cup, and fill up your quarantine tank. Once the quarantine tank is full, you can turn on the heater and filtration system. 3-5. Monitor your fish for 2 to 3 weeks in the quarantine tank. Watch your fish closely during this time. Before introducing a fish to a tank of other aquatic life, you want to make sure it does not have any diseases. Diseases can spread fast in a fish tank. Common infections include things like fin rot, vibriosis, and mouth rot. Usually, you would treat infections with antibiotics. Antibiotics may be administered to a fish's tank, or you may give your fish food with antibiotics. Symptoms of infections changes in color, frayed or rotting fins, a lack of appetite, gray marks on the scale and fins, and open sores on a fish. If your fish has an infection, make sure it is treated and symptoms are gone before transferring your fish to the main aquarium. 3-6. Repeat the floating process to transfer the fish to the regular tank. If two to three weeks pass without incident, you can transfer your fish to the regular tank. You would repeat the same floating process you used to acclimate your fish to the quarantine tank. You will have to net your fish and place it in a bag filled with water from the quarantine tank. Make sure to seal the bag with a metal clip or rubber band. Float the bag in the regular tank for 15 minutes, cut the bag open, and roll down the edges an inch. Transfer half a cup of water to the bag every 4 minutes until it's full. Discard half the water in the bag, and float it in the tank again. Once again, transfer water every 4 minutes until the bag is full. Net the fish and transfer it into the main tank.

How to Acclimate to Hot Weather
1. Adjusting to Hotter Weather 1-1. Start with light recreational activities. When you’re first getting used to the heat, it’s best to take things nice and easy until you know how you’ll respond. Go for a brisk walk, toss a football around or take care of a little yard work. Just be careful not to overdo it—being out for too long can quickly leave you feeling drained. You may not be ready to jump right into your normal routine if you’ve recently relocated somewhere warmer. Head out in the early part of the day while it’s still tolerable and let yourself warm up with the weather. Try to avoid any strenuous activity during the heat of the day. If you want to do more intense workouts, stick to exercising in the morning or evening when temperatures are lower. 1-2. Turn down the air conditioner. Try dropping your thermostat 1-2 degrees every day for a couple of weeks. This will help make your conditions inside more like the ones outside. With constant exposure to above-average temperatures, your body will have no choice but to adapt. As a general goal, your thermostat should be set no more than about 10 degrees cooler than the temperature outside once you’ve reached peak acclimation. Your progress will be much slower if you constantly rely on air conditioning to cool yourself off. It will also be more difficult to adjust to the heat when you’re switching between cold indoor and hot outdoor temperatures. 1-3. Prepare yourself mentally. Before you step outside, drink at least 12 ounces of cold water to make sure you're starting off properly hydrated. Take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves, and get ready to sweat. Sweltering heat is uncomfortable no matter how you look at it. The sooner you make peace with your environment, the better equipped you’ll be to deal with it. Be patient. Getting used to any change in temperature just takes time. 1-4. Keep up your momentum. It only takes about one week for you to start feeling the loss of the physiological changes you worked so hard for. To maintain your acclimated state, you’ll need to continue to brave the heat at least every other day. Once it’s gone, you’ll have to start all over again to get it back. Keep up a regular schedule of outdoor activity or exercise in the morning and evening. For best results, aim for at least 2-3 days a week. 2. Being Active in the Heat 2-1. Perform small bursts of activity. When you’re first getting acclimated to working out outdoors, it’s best to start with roughly 15 minutes of moderate exercise at a time. As your conditioning improves, you can begin to add 2-3 minutes to each session. Take plenty of rest breaks and be careful not to try to do too much too soon. Pay close attention to how you feel after each period of activity. If you detect that your performance is dropping off, play it safe and decrease your intensity or take longer breaks. It typically takes about two weeks for the average person to become heating acclimatized. 2-2. Drink plenty of water. Fill up on cold water before you set out to bike, hike, or jog, and plan for frequent hydration stops along the way. Keeping your tissues flushed with water is crucial if you’re going to be slogging it out in stifling conditions—elevated temperatures will cause you to sweat constantly, even when you’re not actively exerting yourself. Dehydration can be deceptive. Replenish your fluid levels at regular intervals, whether you feel thirsty or not. Always carry a water bottle with you or make sure there’s another available source of water nearby. Try room temperature water since it’s the best for your body. Avoid drinking hot liquids since they will make you feel warmer. Sports drinks not only replenish fluids, but they also have essential electrolytes which are needed to power your muscles through a workout. 2-3. Increase the amount of time you spend outside gradually. After your first couple of weeks in a new environment, crank up the duration of your activity to around an hour at a time. This will soon become easier, and you can begin spending even longer periods outdoors. If your goal is to acclimatize as quickly as possible, plan on building up to least two hours a day. Once you’re able to comfortably stay out for two or more hours a day, you’ll begin to feel much more at ease in motion and at rest. Raise your tolerance by finding an area with some light shade or stripping off non-essential items of clothing rather than seeking refuge indoors. 2-4. Don’t exceed your limits. Monitor your heart rate and breathing patterns vigilantly and be ready to call it a day if they start getting out of control. Even if you’re an elite athlete, there will come a point when your body can no longer keep up with the demands of working out in the heat. At this point, your continued efforts can go from difficult to dangerous. Listen to your body, not your exercise journal. Stop what you're doing and seek out a shady place to rest when you feel the heat getting to you, even if you haven't finished your session. Consider splitting your workouts up into multiple short sessions to reduce your risk of overheating. 3. Staying Safe and Healthy 3-1. Wear lightweight clothing. Stick to short-sleeved items like t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, and moisture-wicking activewear until you’ve built up an immunity to the heat. Pieces with loosely-woven materials and more relaxed fits are also preferable, as they’ll allow your skin to breathe. Whatever you wear, it’s important that it be properly ventilated to release heat rather than trapping it close to your body. Choose light-colored garments over darker ones. Lighter colors reflect the sun’s rays, which cuts down on how much heat they hold, whereas dark colors absorb it. 3-2. Replace lost nutrients with food. Load up on foods that contain beneficial electrolytes and key vitamins and minerals before and after venturing outdoors. Fruits and vegetables like bananas, spinach, avocados, and beans are all good choices. Just as it’s so important to stay hydrated, proper nutrition is also a critical part of taking care of your body. Don’t shy away from salty foods. These cause you to retain water, which is useful for combating dehydration. Protein-rich offerings like lean meats, fish, eggs and nuts will satisfy your hunger for longer without filling you up too much. Look for cooling foods such as watermelon, cucumber, yogurt, mint, melons, leafy green vegetables, and onions. 3-3. Recognize the symptoms of heat exhaustion. Some of the most common warning signs of heat-related illness include dizziness, nausea, overwhelming fatigue and an accelerated heart rate. If you become aware of any of these warning signs, stop what you’re doing immediately and find someplace to escape the heat. A cool shower (not ice cold—a drastic change of temperature can be a shock to the body) will help return your body to a normal temperature. Heat exhaustion can be fatal when ignored. Practice good judgment and avoid taking unnecessary chances with your wellbeing. Tips Make sure you don’t have any health complications before you take steps to acclimate yourself to hot weather conditions. Don’t wipe your sweat away. It’s one of your body’s most effective natural cooling mechanisms. Pay attention to the color of your urine. A clear stream is ideal—a darker yellow can clue you in that you’re dehydrated. Warnings If symptoms of heat exhaustion don’t start to clear up within 15 minutes, seek immediate medical attention. Since they make it harder for your body to retain water, drinks like coffee, alcohol, and sugary sodas are not a good choice when it comes to staying hydrated.

How to Accomplish Your New Year's Resolutions
1. Creating Resolutions and Preparing to Begin 1-1. Brainstorm about changes and improvements you'd like to make. These can be about anything, not just the big ones like quitting smoking and losing weight that many people associate with New Year's resolutions. Jot down some notes while doing the following: Consider how you can improve your health. Ask yourself, Can I drink more water? Quit smoking? Stop eating fast food or fried food? Become vegetarian? Exercise more? Consider your relationships with others. Are there ways that you can be a better spouse, parent, other family member, or friend? Consider your work life. Ask yourself, Can I be more successful and happier at work? Be more organized? Stop procrastinating? Consider ways to make a difference. Are there ways you could make a difference in the world through activism, awareness raising or promoting a cause? 1-2. Choose one or two attainable larger goals. Look over your notes and determine what items on it are most important to you. Don't take too long choosing; often it's the things that leap out at you straight away that have the most meaning for you personally. 1-3. Create “systems.” Systems are the ways that you carry out a larger goal. You need to break down large goals into smaller actions that can are easier to carry out. If you leave your larger goals too vague, you may get confused and change your mind frequently on the ways to accomplish them. This is the purpose of creating systems. For example: if your goal is to lose 30 pounds in the following year, you can resolve to cut out fast food, soft drinks, sugary snacks and drinks, drink more water, and walk three days a week until March, and then gradually add in two days at the gym. 1-4. Look at your list and reflect, using the SMART mnemonic. Make sure your goals are: S – Specific (or Significant). This means your goals include systems for achieving them. You have specific actions that can be carried out that work toward your larger goal. M – Measurable. This means that the changes you see once the goal is reached is noticeable. You will feel different (better), because you are healthier, because your family or social life has improved, etc. A – Attainable. This means that the goal is realistic and can be reached. There are benefits to aiming high, but you don't want to aim so high that you become disappointed and discouraged from making any changes at all if you can't reach the goal you set. For instance, if you've never run a day in your life, don't make running a marathon your goal quite yet. Perhaps start with shorter races like a 3K or 5K, and work up from there. R – Relevant (or Rewarding). This means that there is a real need for your goal. You have been unsatisfied with a certain area of your life for some time, and you have a strong motivation to want to change it. T – Trackable. This is similar to measurable, but means that you can assess your progress throughout the process. Have you made a schedule and are you following it? Are you losing weight gradually (if that's your goal)? Are you getting along better with your loved ones? Etc. 1-5. Talk to others about your goals. Discuss your goals and why you made them with your family and friends. This step is very important! Ask for others' support on these goals throughout the year. If possible, team up and visit the gym or shop at the health food store together. Ask them to speak up if you slip and order a Diet Coke instead of a water, or forget another goal on your list. People who tell others about their goals are more likely to accomplish them, whether it's because they have extra support they need, or because they're afraid of being embarrassed if they don't accomplish them, it's hard to say. 1-6. Print out copies of your resolutions. Save a copy on each computer or electronic device you own, such as your cell phone and tablet. Email a copy to your work address and save it to your work computer. Make a smaller copy and keep it in your wallet. Post a copy on the outside of your refrigerator! Use bright paper so it catches your eye and don't let it get hidden behind coupons and artwork. 2. Starting Your Resolutions 2-1. Create a schedule. Even more important than a specific deadline for your goals is to set a schedule of how you will reach the goal. Some goals are actually lifelong changes that you will continue after the goal is reached. For instance, systems for weight loss and for improving your relationships don't necessarily “end” once you've reached the goal. To keep weight off, you have to maintain the healthier lifestyle system that you created. To maintain healthy relationships, you would want to continue the things you started doing in your resolutions. So consider: If the goal is losing weight, be sure that you have researched a healthy amount of time to lose a certain amount of weight, and write down your exercise schedule and the changes you will make in your diet for each day. If you're trying to be a better parent or friend, or to be more successful at work, make a schedule of when and how you will do each thing that's on your systems list. 2-2. Start following your plan immediately. Don't wait for inspiration to strike. The best thing to do is start on January 1 and start tracking your progress. If your goal is to lose weight, don't say, “I'll start tomorrow.” Start right away! Starting may actually be the toughest part, but once you get into a routine it should become easier. 2-3. Create accountability. Set up dates for evaluation with a mentor. This helps you to stay focused and evaluates methods for improvement. It's even better if you find someone who has the same resolution. If you have a friend who's also trying to lose weight, check in with each other and motivate each other. It may also help to consult with your doctor or a trainer about your progress. 2-4. Remind yourself about your goals. For every day on your calendar or schedule, write down what you will do for that day, what time you will do it, and don't forget to actually do it, no matter how busy you are. If your goal is losing weight, write down what you will eat, and when and how you will exercise each week. 2-5. Focus on the process rather than the end goal. Take each step one at a time and be happy with your progress. The only way you'll get to where you want to go is to complete every small step along the way, checking it off with pride as you accomplish each step. Remind yourself of the weight you are losing or how you are feeling healthier instead of the fact that you haven't reached a certain number of lost pounds yet. You will get there. 2-6. Create your environment so that you will accomplish your goals. It's also good to get rid of habits that don't coincide with your goals and may contribute to you being unable to reach them. For example, set your running shoes next to the door. Put fruits and veggies in the front of the fridge. Get rid of the junk food and don't buy more. If something you regularly do for fun with family and/or friends includes eating out at places where most of the food is unhealthy, choose a different place that offer healthy meals. Or, don't eat out at all and do something else like go for a walk or a bike ride instead. 3. Maintaining and Accomplishing Your Resolutions 3-1. Reward yourself. Determine ahead of time what rewards will be at small milestones of accomplishment. Have frequent small rewards and a “grand prize” for completion. If your goal is losing weight, you might buy new clothes to replace old ones that don't fit anymore at each milestone, and then plan a nice vacation for when you've reached your goal. 3-2. Remind yourself of your successes. It can be hard to maintain your motivation and dedication to making a change in your life when you can't see immediate results for your efforts. At each low point, have faith that persisting and being consistent in reaching your goal will pay off in the long run. If you're trying to lose weight and are struggling to keep up with your workouts, just think about how each minute you exercise burns fat and gets you closer to your goal. 3-3. Face your fear of change. Fearing change often stops us from achieving a goal. Making a goal sounds good at the time, but then the fear of change surfaces. To avoid this happening to you, realize that your excuses are a way of covering up a fear of change. Look beyond "I can't" and start substituting this with "I can" and "I am". Identify your excuses for not going through with parts of your goal. By listing excuses, you can see them for what they are and move beyond the fear of change. Sidestep blaming other people or circumstances for not achieving your goals. If you take responsibility for achieving your goal, these external factors cannot sap your power to do what you've said you'd do. 3-4. Recognize your self-defeating behaviors. Write down the things you do out of habit that distract you from what really matters. Then, list things that you consider to be more positive and fulfilling behaviors and choices you want to make instead. This includes adjusting the habits mentioned in a previous step, even if they were things you once enjoyed. For instance, if are trying to lose weight and you eat out with family or friends as bonding time, either choose restaurants that offer healthy meals or decide to do something else fun together instead of eating out. 3-5. Begin again if you slip up. Everyone encounters occasional outside stressors and events that take us out of focus on our goals. Use Monday as your day to regroup and start over if you slip and have a bad week completing your goals for any reason. The “Monday Campaigns” is a group of nonprofit health organizations that organize various healthy things to do on Mondays, such as “Meatless Mondays,” “De-Stress Mondays,” and “Move-It Mondays.” Don't be too hard on yourself if you slip and remind yourself of the progress you have made. Just start over on Monday. 3-6. Lean on your support team. Whoever you've chosen to help you, be it family, friends, a life coach, therapist, or someone else, lean on them to support you through times of weakness, when you need a booster to get back on track. Don't expect to do this completely alone; look for other people's advice, ideas and feedback to help you keep going. 3-7. Keep a journal. Document at least one thing every single day in the following year for which you feel grateful and one sentence for the progress you have made. When writing, consider: What memorable moments can you draw from each day? In what ways did you grow today or find that your awareness shifted? Keeping note of this will help you to stay grounded and motivated with your goals. Tips Don't try to plan your resolutions when you're in a bad mood or pressed for time. Taking time to make a thoughtful list will make your goals easier to achieve. Keep a Diary of your goals. Mark when you began, and set a date to accomplish them by. Do this for every goal and try to always improve upon your previous time. Research your goals. Be sure you understand how to schedule your system to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

Don't take too long choosing; often it's the things that leap out at you straight away that have the most meaning for you personally.\\n1-3. Create “systems.”\\nSystems are the ways that you carry out a larger goal. You need to break down large goals into smaller actions that can are easier to carry out. If you leave your larger goals too vague, you may get confused and change your mind frequently on the ways to accomplish them.

There are benefits to aiming high, but you don't want to aim so high that you become disappointed and discouraged from making any changes at all if you can't reach the goal you set.\\nFor instance, if you've never run a day in your life, don't make running a marathon your goal quite yet. Perhaps start with shorter races like a 3K or 5K, and work up from there.\\nR – Relevant (or Rewarding). This means that there is a real need for your goal. You have been unsatisfied with a certain area of your life for some time, and you have a strong motivation to want to change it.\\nT – Trackable. This is similar to measurable, but means that you can assess your progress throughout the process. Have you made a schedule and are you following it? Are you losing weight gradually (if that's your goal)? Are you getting along better with your loved ones? Etc.\\n1-5. Talk to others about your goals.\\nDiscuss your goals and why you made them with your family and friends. This step is very important!\\nAsk for others' support on these goals throughout the year. If possible, team up and visit the gym or shop at the health food store together. Ask them to speak up if you slip and order a Diet Coke instead of a water, or forget another goal on your list.\\nPeople who tell others about their goals are more likely to accomplish them, whether it's because they have extra support they need, or because they're afraid of being embarrassed if they don't accomplish them, it's hard to say.\\n1-6. Print out copies of your resolutions.\\nSave a copy on each computer or electronic device you own, such as your cell phone and tablet.\\nEmail a copy to your work address and save it to your work computer.\\nMake a smaller copy and keep it in your wallet.\\nPost a copy on the outside of your refrigerator! Use bright paper so it catches your eye and don't let it get hidden behind coupons and artwork.\\n2. Starting Your Resolutions\\n2-1. Create a schedule.\\nEven more important than a specific deadline for your goals is to set a schedule of how you will reach the goal. Some goals are actually lifelong changes that you will continue after the goal is reached.\\nFor instance, systems for weight loss and for improving your relationships don't necessarily “end” once you've reached the goal. To keep weight off, you have to maintain the healthier lifestyle system that you created. To maintain healthy relationships, you would want to continue the things you started doing in your resolutions. So consider:\\nIf the goal is losing weight, be sure that you have researched a healthy amount of time to lose a certain amount of weight, and write down your exercise schedule and the changes you will make in your diet for each day.\\nIf you're trying to be a better parent or friend, or to be more successful at work, make a schedule of when and how you will do each thing that's on your systems list.\\n2-2. Start following your plan immediately.\\nDon't wait for inspiration to strike. The best thing to do is start on January 1 and start tracking your progress.\\nIf your goal is to lose weight, don't say, “I'll start tomorrow.” Start right away! Starting may actually be the toughest part, but once you get into a routine it should become easier.\\n2-3. Create accountability.\\nSet up dates for evaluation with a mentor. This helps you to stay focused and evaluates methods for improvement.\\nIt's even better if you find someone who has the same resolution. If you have a friend who's also trying to lose weight, check in with each other and motivate each other. It may also help to consult with your doctor or a trainer about your progress.\\n2-4. Remind yourself about your goals.\\nFor every day on your calendar or schedule, write down what you will do for that day, what time you will do it, and don't forget to actually do it, no matter how busy you are.\\nIf your goal is losing weight, write down what you will eat, and when and how you will exercise each week.\\n2-5. Focus on the process rather than the end goal.\\nTake each step one at a time and be happy with your progress. The only way you'll get to where you want to go is to complete every small step along the way, checking it off with pride as you accomplish each step.\\nRemind yourself of the weight you are losing or how you are feeling healthier instead of the fact that you haven't reached a certain number of lost pounds yet. You will get there.\\n2-6. Create your environment so that you will accomplish your goals.\\nIt's also good to get rid of habits that don't coincide with your goals and may contribute to you being unable to reach them.\\nFor example, set your running shoes next to the door. Put fruits and veggies in the front of the fridge. Get rid of the junk food and don't buy more.\\nIf something you regularly do for fun with family and/or friends includes eating out at places where most of the food is unhealthy, choose a different place that offer healthy meals. Or, don't eat out at all and do something else like go for a walk or a bike ride instead.\\n3. Maintaining and Accomplishing Your Resolutions\\n3-1. Reward yourself.\\nDetermine ahead of time what rewards will be at small milestones of accomplishment. Have frequent small rewards and a “grand prize” for completion.\\nIf your goal is losing weight, you might buy new clothes to replace old ones that don't fit anymore at each milestone, and then plan a nice vacation for when you've reached your goal.\\n3-2. Remind yourself of your successes.\\nIt can be hard to maintain your motivation and dedication to making a change in your life when you can't see immediate results for your efforts.\\nAt each low point, have faith that persisting and being consistent in reaching your goal will pay off in the long run. If you're trying to lose weight and are struggling to keep up with your workouts, just think about how each minute you exercise burns fat and gets you closer to your goal.\\n3-3. Face your fear of change.\\nFearing change often stops us from achieving a goal. Making a goal sounds good at the time, but then the fear of change surfaces. To avoid this happening to you, realize that your excuses are a way of covering up a fear of change.\\nLook beyond \\\"I can't\\\" and start substituting this with \\\"I can\\\" and \\\"I am\\\".\\nIdentify your excuses for not going through with parts of your goal. By listing excuses, you can see them for what they are and move beyond the fear of change.\\nSidestep blaming other people or circumstances for not achieving your goals. If you take responsibility for achieving your goal, these external factors cannot sap your power to do what you've said you'd do.\\n3-4. Recognize your self-defeating behaviors.\\nWrite down the things you do out of habit that distract you from what really matters. Then, list things that you consider to be more positive and fulfilling behaviors and choices you want to make instead.\\nThis includes adjusting the habits mentioned in a previous step, even if they were things you once enjoyed. For instance, if are trying to lose weight and you eat out with family or friends as bonding time, either choose restaurants that offer healthy meals or decide to do something else fun together instead of eating out.\\n3-5. Begin again if you slip up.\\nEveryone encounters occasional outside stressors and events that take us out of focus on our goals. Use Monday as your day to regroup and start over if you slip and have a bad week completing your goals for any reason.\\nThe “Monday Campaigns” is a group of nonprofit health organizations that organize various healthy things to do on Mondays, such as “Meatless Mondays,” “De-Stress Mondays,” and “Move-It Mondays.” Don't be too hard on yourself if you slip and remind yourself of the progress you have made. Just start over on Monday.\\n3-6. Lean on your support team.\\nWhoever you've chosen to help you, be it family, friends, a life coach, therapist, or someone else, lean on them to support you through times of weakness, when you need a booster to get back on track.\\nDon't expect to do this completely alone; look for other people's advice, ideas and feedback to help you keep going.\\n3-7. Keep a journal.\\nDocument at least one thing every single day in the following year for which you feel grateful and one sentence for the progress you have made.\\nWhen writing, consider: What memorable moments can you draw from each day? In what ways did you grow today or find that your awareness shifted? Keeping note of this will help you to stay grounded and motivated with your goals.\\nTips\\nDon't try to plan your resolutions when you're in a bad mood or pressed for time. Taking time to make a thoughtful list will make your goals easier to achieve.\\nKeep a Diary of your goals. Mark when you began, and set a date to accomplish them by. Do this for every goal and try to always improve upon your previous time.\\nResearch your goals. Be sure you understand how to schedule your system to accomplish what you want to accomplish.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"New Year's resolutions are goals or promises that people make during the New Year holiday to try to make their upcoming year better in some way.

How to Accomplish a Goal
1. Setting Goals 1-1. Decide what you want. Your first step is to determine what it is you want to achieve. This can be a big change or small one, but taking some time to think about what you hope to achieve is an important first step to success. For example, is your goal to be a happier person? To learn to play an instrument? To get good at a sport? To be healthier? All of these are valid goals. It's up to you to decide what you want. 1-2. Define your terms. Once you have a general sense of what you want, you need to start thinking about what these goals mean to you. One person's definition of a goal can be very different from another's. For example, if your goal is to be happier, you need to think about what happiness means to you. What does a happy life look like? What types of things will make you happy? This applies to less overreaching goals as well. If your goal is to learn to play guitar, what does that mean exactly to you? Will you be satisfied with knowing a few chords so people can sing along with you at parties? Or are you striving to be a classical concert guitarist? These are very different definitions of knowing how to play the guitar. 1-3. Ask why. It's important to take a little time to think about why you are setting the goals you've chosen. If you think about your motivations, you may find that you end up wanting to revise your goals. For example, imagine your goal is to learn to play the guitar. You stop and think about why, and you realize that it's because you think people who play the guitar are popular at school. This doesn't really suggest dedication to the guitar. It might be a good reason to stop and ask yourself if there's another, easier way to get what you really want, which is more social than musical. 1-4. Determine if it's possible. Last but not least, you need to decide if your goal is realistic. Sad as it may seem, not every dream can come true. If your goal seems beyond the realm of possibility, it might be time to make a different goal. Imagine you decide it is your dream to be the world's greatest basketball player. That's a challenging goal for anyone to achieve, but it might be possible for some people. But, if you're only 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, this goal is probably beyond your reach. This sets you up for failure and discouragement. You can still have fun playing basketball with your friends. But, if you're looking to be the best at a sport, you should probably focus on one where height isn't so important. 2. Making a Plan 2-1. Brainstorm in writing. Once you've set a general goal, you need to start getting more specific and making a plan to reach it. A great first step is to do some free-writing. Get some paper and write down some thoughts about the following topics: Your ideal future Qualities you admire in others Things that could be done better Things you want to learn more about Habits you want to improve. This step is meant to help you fantasize and imagine many possibilities. After a few of these possibilities are out on paper, you can determine which ones are most important to you. 2-2. Get specific. Once you've thought about some goals and brainstormed a bit, its time to start getting more specific. Use your notes from the brainstorming session and your definitions from the previous section. Write down some specific things you would like to achieve or do. A vague goal like, “I want to play better, so I will do my best,” is not as effective as a goal like “I want to be able to play my favorite song in six months." Poorly defined end goals or vague “do-your-best” goals are not as effective as specific goals. Move beyond general goals like "I want to become rich" and focus on specific achievements that will get results. Instead of "I want to become rich," your goal could be "I want to master investing in the stock market." Instead of "I want to play the guitar," your goal could be something like "I want to play lead guitar in a rock band." It's a good idea to do some more writing here, trying to describe your goals in as much detail as possible. 2-3. Consider using the SMART method. One way to specify and evaluate your goals is to use the SMART method. This is an approach to goal setting in which you refine your goals by assessing whether they are: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant and Time-bounded 2-4. Rank your goals. Many people have several goals. In fact, in your free-writing, you may have discovered that you yourself are already hoping to achieve more than one goal. If this is the case, it's a good idea to try to rank them in order of importance. Ranking your goals will help you focus on those that are the most meaningful to you. For example, you might want to earn a PhD in astrophysics, learn to play classical guitar, read the complete works of Tolstoy, and run a marathon. Trying to do all of these things at once is probably not realistic. Deciding which goals are most important can help you plan for the long and short term. Part of this process is assessing your level of commitment to each goal. A difficult or long-term goal that you aren't highly committed to is one you are unlikely to achieve. If you only sort of want a PhD in astrophysics, you probably shouldn't make that a priority in life. 2-5. Envision the impacts. Spend some time thinking about how each of these goals will affect your life. This will help you determine the benefits of striving for each of your goals. Thinking in these terms will also help you visualize the process of striving for these goals. This can help boost your motivation. 2-6. Create subgoals. Most goals are more achievable if broken down into smaller tasks. These smaller tasks are subgoals—little goals that add up to the main goal you hope to achieve. For example, if you want to learn to play guitar, your first sub-goal might be to get a guitar. Your next might be to sign up for lessons. Next, you will want to learn the most basic chords and scales, and so on. Creating a schedule for these subgoals can help you stay focused and keep you on track. In the example above, you might aim to have enough money to buy a guitar in three months. You might plan to sign up for lessons a week after that, learn the basic chords in another two months, and so forth. 2-7. Identify obstacles. Last but not least, think about what obstacles could stand in the way of achieving your goals. Thinking about this in advance gives you a chance to come up with some ideas about how you will overcome those obstacles. For example, you might find that guitar lessons are more costly than you can afford right now. This could lead you to think about ways to get more money for lessons. Or, you might consider the possibility of teaching yourself using instructional books or videos. 3. Following Through 3-1. Dedicate your time. There are many things you can do to help make the process easier and keep yourself focused. At the end of the day though, most goals are achieved by putting a lot of time and hard work into making them a reality. Think about how long you expect it to take to achieve your goal, and when you want it to be completed. For example, imagine you expect you'll need 40 hours of work to master the basics of playing guitar and you want learn it in a month. You'll need to spend a little over an hour on this every day. There's no way to get around putting in the time. If you are truly committed to your goal, it is what you must do. 3-2. Make it a routine. One way to make putting in the time easier is to build your efforts into a daily routine. Schedule time to work on your goals into every day. For example, you might spend a half an hour from 6:30 practicing musical scales. You could spend another half an hour from 6:30 to 7 practicing chords. You could spend 15 minutes from 7:15 learning to play a specific song. If you stuck to this every day (or even every other day), you could learn the basics of playing any instrument very quickly! 3-3. Track your progress. Once you start working toward your goal, keep track of your progress. Keep a journal, use an app, or get a desk calendar and make a note of time that you put in, subgoals you've achieved, etc. Tracking your progress can help you stay motivated by highlighting your successes. It can also help keep you accountable for sticking to your routine. Keeping a journal in which you write about the process daily is also a good way to reduce stress you might feel about achieving your goals. 3-4. Stay motivated. One of the hardest parts of following through on a goal, especially in the long term, is staying motivated. Making achievable subgoals and tracking your progress can both help. But, you may need to add some additional reinforcement. Reinforcement means that you create consequences for your actions. There are two types of reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means adding something to your life. For example, you might treat yourself to a celebratory dessert for achieving a subgoal. Negative reinforcement is when something is taken away. If that something is unwanted, that can be a reward. For example, you might allow yourself to skip a chore one week as a reward for reaching a subgoal. This chore is "removed" from your life that week. Reinforcement is more effective in keeping up your motivation than punishment. Depriving yourself of things or otherwise punishing yourself for failure can work in small doses. But, stick to rewards instead when possible. Tips Be true to yourself. Your goal won't be nearly as sweet if you achieve it by doing things you're not proud of. Don't forget the words of Lao-Tze: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Put it in writing. Writing reinforces thoughts. Even if you are the only one to see what you've written, writing down your goals can give more power to your intentions. Warnings Things don't always work out as you had planned. Stick to your goals, but be flexible. Often, something will work itself out in a different way than you expected, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Keep an open mind. Try to pace yourself. It's common for people working on new goals to dedicate lots of time and effort to the goal at the outset, but then lose steam. The early enthusiasm that comes with a new goal is great. But, don't set standards for yourself at the outset that you can't live up to in the long haul. Do not try to squeeze a square peg into a round hole. If something doesn't fit or it doesn't feel right, try a different approach.

If your goal is to learn to play guitar, what does that mean exactly to you? Will you be satisfied with knowing a few chords so people can sing along with you at parties? Or are you striving to be a classical concert guitarist? These are very different definitions of knowing how to play the guitar.\\n1-3. Ask why.\\nIt's important to take a little time to think about why you are setting the goals you've chosen. If you think about your motivations, you may find that you end up wanting to revise your goals.\\nFor example, imagine your goal is to learn to play the guitar. You stop and think about why, and you realize that it's because you think people who play the guitar are popular at school. This doesn't really suggest dedication to the guitar. It might be a good reason to stop and ask yourself if there's another, easier way to get what you really want, which is more social than musical.\\n1-4. Determine if it's possible.\\nLast but not least, you need to decide if your goal is realistic. Sad as it may seem, not every dream can come true. If your goal seems beyond the realm of possibility, it might be time to make a different goal.\\nImagine you decide it is your dream to be the world's greatest basketball player. That's a challenging goal for anyone to achieve, but it might be possible for some people. But, if you're only 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, this goal is probably beyond your reach. This sets you up for failure and discouragement. You can still have fun playing basketball with your friends. But, if you're looking to be the best at a sport, you should probably focus on one where height isn't so important.\\n2. Making a Plan\\n2-1. Brainstorm in writing.\\nOnce you've set a general goal, you need to start getting more specific and making a plan to reach it. A great first step is to do some free-writing. Get some paper and write down some thoughts about the following topics:\\nYour ideal future\\nQualities you admire in others\\nThings that could be done better\\nThings you want to learn more about\\nHabits you want to improve.\\nThis step is meant to help you fantasize and imagine many possibilities. After a few of these possibilities are out on paper, you can determine which ones are most important to you.\\n2-2. Get specific.\\nOnce you've thought about some goals and brainstormed a bit, its time to start getting more specific. Use your notes from the brainstorming session and your definitions from the previous section. Write down some specific things you would like to achieve or do.\\nA vague goal like, “I want to play better, so I will do my best,” is not as effective as a goal like “I want to be able to play my favorite song in six months.\\\" Poorly defined end goals or vague “do-your-best” goals are not as effective as specific goals.\\nMove beyond general goals like \\\"I want to become rich\\\" and focus on specific achievements that will get results. Instead of \\\"I want to become rich,\\\" your goal could be \\\"I want to master investing in the stock market.\\\" Instead of \\\"I want to play the guitar,\\\" your goal could be something like \\\"I want to play lead guitar in a rock band.\\\"\\nIt's a good idea to do some more writing here, trying to describe your goals in as much detail as possible.\\n2-3. Consider using the SMART method.\\nOne way to specify and evaluate your goals is to use the SMART method. This is an approach to goal setting in which you refine your goals by assessing whether they are:\\nSpecific\\nMeasurable\\nAchievable\\nRelevant and\\nTime-bounded\\n2-4. Rank your goals.\\nMany people have several goals. In fact, in your free-writing, you may have discovered that you yourself are already hoping to achieve more than one goal. If this is the case, it's a good idea to try to rank them in order of importance.\\nRanking your goals will help you focus on those that are the most meaningful to you.\\nFor example, you might want to earn a PhD in astrophysics, learn to play classical guitar, read the complete works of Tolstoy, and run a marathon. Trying to do all of these things at once is probably not realistic. Deciding which goals are most important can help you plan for the long and short term.\\nPart of this process is assessing your level of commitment to each goal. A difficult or long-term goal that you aren't highly committed to is one you are unlikely to achieve. If you only sort of want a PhD in astrophysics, you probably shouldn't make that a priority in life.\\n2-5. Envision the impacts.\\nSpend some time thinking about how each of these goals will affect your life. This will help you determine the benefits of striving for each of your goals.\\nThinking in these terms will also help you visualize the process of striving for these goals. This can help boost your motivation.\\n2-6. Create subgoals.\\nMost goals are more achievable if broken down into smaller tasks. These smaller tasks are subgoals—little goals that add up to the main goal you hope to achieve.\\nFor example, if you want to learn to play guitar, your first sub-goal might be to get a guitar. Your next might be to sign up for lessons. Next, you will want to learn the most basic chords and scales, and so on.\\nCreating a schedule for these subgoals can help you stay focused and keep you on track. In the example above, you might aim to have enough money to buy a guitar in three months. You might plan to sign up for lessons a week after that, learn the basic chords in another two months, and so forth.\\n2-7. Identify obstacles.\\nLast but not least, think about what obstacles could stand in the way of achieving your goals. Thinking about this in advance gives you a chance to come up with some ideas about how you will overcome those obstacles.\\nFor example, you might find that guitar lessons are more costly than you can afford right now. This could lead you to think about ways to get more money for lessons. Or, you might consider the possibility of teaching yourself using instructional books or videos.\\n3. Following Through\\n3-1. Dedicate your time.\\nThere are many things you can do to help make the process easier and keep yourself focused. At the end of the day though, most goals are achieved by putting a lot of time and hard work into making them a reality.\\nThink about how long you expect it to take to achieve your goal, and when you want it to be completed. For example, imagine you expect you'll need 40 hours of work to master the basics of playing guitar and you want learn it in a month. You'll need to spend a little over an hour on this every day.\\nThere's no way to get around putting in the time. If you are truly committed to your goal, it is what you must do.\\n3-2. Make it a routine.\\nOne way to make putting in the time easier is to build your efforts into a daily routine. Schedule time to work on your goals into every day.\\nFor example, you might spend a half an hour from 6:30 practicing musical scales. You could spend another half an hour from 6:30 to 7 practicing chords. You could spend 15 minutes from 7:15 learning to play a specific song. If you stuck to this every day (or even every other day), you could learn the basics of playing any instrument very quickly!\\n3-3. Track your progress.\\nOnce you start working toward your goal, keep track of your progress. Keep a journal, use an app, or get a desk calendar and make a note of time that you put in, subgoals you've achieved, etc.\\nTracking your progress can help you stay motivated by highlighting your successes. It can also help keep you accountable for sticking to your routine.\\nKeeping a journal in which you write about the process daily is also a good way to reduce stress you might feel about achieving your goals.\\n3-4. Stay motivated.\\nOne of the hardest parts of following through on a goal, especially in the long term, is staying motivated. Making achievable subgoals and tracking your progress can both help. But, you may need to add some additional reinforcement.\\nReinforcement means that you create consequences for your actions. There are two types of reinforcement.\\nPositive reinforcement means adding something to your life. For example, you might treat yourself to a celebratory dessert for achieving a subgoal.\\nNegative reinforcement is when something is taken away. If that something is unwanted, that can be a reward. For example, you might allow yourself to skip a chore one week as a reward for reaching a subgoal. This chore is \\\"removed\\\" from your life that week.\\nReinforcement is more effective in keeping up your motivation than punishment. Depriving yourself of things or otherwise punishing yourself for failure can work in small doses. But, stick to rewards instead when possible.\\nTips\\nBe true to yourself. Your goal won't be nearly as sweet if you achieve it by doing things you're not proud of.\\nDon't forget the words of Lao-Tze: \\\"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.\\\"\\nPut it in writing. Writing reinforces thoughts. Even if you are the only one to see what you've written, writing down your goals can give more power to your intentions.\\nWarnings\\nThings don't always work out as you had planned. Stick to your goals, but be flexible. Often, something will work itself out in a different way than you expected, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Keep an open mind.\\nTry to pace yourself. It's common for people working on new goals to dedicate lots of time and effort to the goal at the outset, but then lose steam. The early enthusiasm that comes with a new goal is great. But, don't set standards for yourself at the outset that you can't live up to in the long haul.\\nDo not try to squeeze a square peg into a round hole. If something doesn't fit or it doesn't feel right, try a different approach.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Everyone has dreams. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives.

How to Accomplish a School Goal
1. Setting Yourself up for Success 1-1. Determine what type of goal you want to set. There are many possible goals you could set, but the type of goal refers to how you'll measure your progress and success. The two main types are process goals and outcome goals. Process goals focus on the work that you'll do within a given time period. An example of a process goal would be to complete and submit all of your assignments on time this week. Outcome goals focus on the results of your work. An example of an outcome goal would be to earn a grade of at least 90% on your next test. 1-2. Identify the reasons why your goal is important. Having a goal may not be enough to keep you motivated. If that's the case, it may be important to remind yourself of why that goal is meaningful to you, and why you hope to achieve it. Reflecting on the outcome of that goal - both the positive results if you succeed and the negative results if you don't - may help you stay more focused and driven over time. Do you need to do well in a class to pass? Are you trying to improve your grades overall? Perhaps you want to do well in a class so that you can eventually seek employment in a related field. If this is the case, you'll want to learn as much as possible in that class. 1-3. Set up a reward system to stay motivated. Some people work best when they know there is some type of reward to be had. Having a self-imposed reward system helps you stay motivated and track your progress so you'll know whether or not you deserve your "treat" for the day, week, month, or semester. Consider setting incremental rewards. Set smaller rewards for minor mile markers and bigger rewards for accomplishing the hardest parts of your goal. Imagine climbing a set of stairs. Each stair is a mini-goal that essentially leads you to the main goal at the top. Decide on some type of reinforcer that will help you stay motivated. It can be a favorite snack, an event you want to go to, a physical object you'd like to buy, or even a vacation or time off from your normal schedule. Use that reward to motivate you. Agree in advance that you won't get to enjoy your reward unless you accomplish your goal. Consider asking a close friend to either help you stay motivated or prevent you from indulging in your reward without success. 2. Setting a SMART Goal 2-1. Make your goal as specific as possible. Having a vaguely-defined goal can make it difficult to follow through on your efforts and track your progress. However, having a clear, well-defined goal will help you stay driven and know how far you've come. Your goal should be as clear and actionable as possible. Remember to focus on either a process goal or an outcome goal. Keep in mind, though, that you can work toward multiple goals at once. For instance, you might have an outcome goal of getting an “A” in English, and process goals along the way that help you earn that “A.” For example, instead of just saying your goal is to get through your math class, figure out what you hope to accomplish. Do you want to become more proficient in math (a process goal), or earn a good grade (an outcome goal)? 2-2. Ensure that your progress is measurable. Whenever you set a goal for yourself, it's important to recognize how you've progressed in working towards it. That's why you should always set goals with clear, measurable progress marks and keep track of your efforts every step of the way. Determine in advance how you will measure success. Ask yourself, "How will I know when I've accomplished my goal?" You can mark off successes when you reach checkpoints along the way. You can even use a reward system. Choose both short-term and long-term measures of success. For example, you might measure success in the short-term by looking at how much studying and homework you get done in a week, and in the long-term by watching how your grades improve over the course of the semester. 2-3. Decide on action-oriented steps to accomplish your goal. Even a good, well-defined goal could be difficult to achieve without a clear action plan. When you set your goal, make sure you include action-oriented steps as part of your goal development. That way you'll know what you're trying to accomplish and, more importantly, how you'll get there. Be very clear in how you intend to achieve your goal. Having action-oriented steps means developing clear guidelines that lay out what (specifically) you will need to do at every step along the way. Think about the steps your goal will require, both in the short-term and in the long-term. Focus on what specifically you will need to do. For example, action-oriented steps might include completing your homework ahead of time, reviewing your notes every day after class, and arranging a meeting with your instructor. 2-4. Make sure your goal is realistic. It's important to dream big, but it's also important to know what you can realistically accomplish with the materials you currently possess and the time frame you're given. Don't bite off more than you can chew, but at the same time don't give yourself a task that's too easy. An example of a realistic goal would be to improve your course grade by one letter before the end of the semester. An unrealistic goal, by comparison, would be to turn an F into an A by the end of the semester. Be aware of what could potentially hinder your success and plan accordingly so that these obstacles do not impede your progress towards accomplishing your goal. For instance, if your goal is to get a good grade on an essay, you’ll want to be aware of other assignments that could affect the amount of time you spend working on the essay. 2-5. Give yourself a reasonable time frame. If you're working within a school calendar, the end of that semester might be the end of your time frame. However, there's still plenty of flexibility in terms of what can be done and when it needs to be done by. Decide in advance when your goal needs to be accomplished. Once you have a firm deadline, work your way backwards to determine when you need to begin your work and when various milestones along the way must be met. For example, if you're working within the time frame of a semester, you might decide that you'll accomplish your goal before finals week. That means working backwards to figure out what needs to be completed and when. 3. Working Towards Your Goal 3-1. Be aware of your deadlines. A well-planned, SMART goal is meaningless if you don't keep track of your deadlines and do the necessary work along the way. You'll need to put in a lot of effort if you hope to accomplish that goal, but with proper planning, you should be able to balance that work very comfortably. If you have a longer timeframe, be sure to schedule checkpoints along the way. If you want to improve your grade, find out how to monitor your progress, such as by paying attention to progress reports and assignment grades. Schedule your work time and your deadline on your calendar. Get into the habit of setting aside work and study time each day and sticking to your routine. Remove distractions, or remove yourself from distracting situations. If you can't work at home (or in your dorm room) due to distractions there, study in the library and keep your phone turned off. Let your friends know that you may not be available as much for social events while you work to meet your deadlines. You'll need to avoid temptation by simply avoiding those social events altogether that would interrupt your studies. 3-2. Identify any potential obstacles. Even the best of plans are susceptible to pitfalls along the way. Most of the potential obstacles you'll face are likely of your own creation, but by being aware of them in advance you can reduce the risk of failure. Some common obstacles to school success include conflicting deadlines, extracurricular activities, spending too much time with friends, and distractions like TV, the internet, and video games. Set limits for yourself. It's okay to spend some time doing fun things, but you have to balance work and play time. For example, you might decide that you'll allow yourself 30 minutes of video games or an hour with friends, but only after two hours of studying. Once you've identified the potential obstacles to your success, you can work around them accordingly on your own schedule. 3-3. Triage your work. Sometimes it makes the most sense to start your work where it's easiest. However, if you're worried about budgeting your time, you may find it helpful to focus on the most difficult or time-consuming tasks first, rather than saving them for last. Alternatively, you might want to get easier assignments out of the way first in order to reduce your stress. Just make sure to allot enough time to finish the more demanding tasks. The difficult parts of an assignment may require additional periodicals, assistance from an instructor, and other resources that could be difficult to attain on short notice. In addition to doing the difficult work up front, you should also be aware of any assignments that build off of other assignments. These may require you to complete other work before moving on to that assignment. Remember that the more time you give yourself, the easier it will be to get your most difficult work done on time. 3-4. Find support from friends, family, and teachers. Having support can make a huge difference in your success rate. Not only will the people in your support network help you stay motivated, they can also celebrate with you once you've accomplished your goal. Once you've identified people who can help support you along the way, let those individuals know what you need from them. Some people might be better at offering kind words of encouragement, while others may be good at getting you to stay focused or getting you back to work when you've started to slack. Tips Don't give up. Accomplishing your goals will require hard work and patience, but with the right attitude and a dedication to your work, there will be no stopping you. Write your goal down and refer to it often. This helps you keep on track.

Agree in advance that you won't get to enjoy your reward unless you accomplish your goal.\\nConsider asking a close friend to either help you stay motivated or prevent you from indulging in your reward without success.\\n2. Setting a SMART Goal\\n2-1. Make your goal as specific as possible.\\nHaving a vaguely-defined goal can make it difficult to follow through on your efforts and track your progress. However, having a clear, well-defined goal will help you stay driven and know how far you've come.\\nYour goal should be as clear and actionable as possible.\\nRemember to focus on either a process goal or an outcome goal. Keep in mind, though, that you can work toward multiple goals at once. For instance, you might have an outcome goal of getting an “A” in English, and process goals along the way that help you earn that “A.”\\nFor example, instead of just saying your goal is to get through your math class, figure out what you hope to accomplish. Do you want to become more proficient in math (a process goal), or earn a good grade (an outcome goal)?\\n2-2. Ensure that your progress is measurable.\\nWhenever you set a goal for yourself, it's important to recognize how you've progressed in working towards it. That's why you should always set goals with clear, measurable progress marks and keep track of your efforts every step of the way.\\nDetermine in advance how you will measure success. Ask yourself, \\\"How will I know when I've accomplished my goal?\\\"\\nYou can mark off successes when you reach checkpoints along the way. You can even use a reward system.\\nChoose both short-term and long-term measures of success.\\nFor example, you might measure success in the short-term by looking at how much studying and homework you get done in a week, and in the long-term by watching how your grades improve over the course of the semester.\\n2-3. Decide on action-oriented steps to accomplish your goal.\\nEven a good, well-defined goal could be difficult to achieve without a clear action plan. When you set your goal, make sure you include action-oriented steps as part of your goal development. That way you'll know what you're trying to accomplish and, more importantly, how you'll get there.\\nBe very clear in how you intend to achieve your goal.\\nHaving action-oriented steps means developing clear guidelines that lay out what (specifically) you will need to do at every step along the way.\\nThink about the steps your goal will require, both in the short-term and in the long-term.\\nFocus on what specifically you will need to do.\\nFor example, action-oriented steps might include completing your homework ahead of time, reviewing your notes every day after class, and arranging a meeting with your instructor.\\n2-4. Make sure your goal is realistic.\\nIt's important to dream big, but it's also important to know what you can realistically accomplish with the materials you currently possess and the time frame you're given. Don't bite off more than you can chew, but at the same time don't give yourself a task that's too easy.\\nAn example of a realistic goal would be to improve your course grade by one letter before the end of the semester. An unrealistic goal, by comparison, would be to turn an F into an A by the end of the semester.\\nBe aware of what could potentially hinder your success and plan accordingly so that these obstacles do not impede your progress towards accomplishing your goal.\\nFor instance, if your goal is to get a good grade on an essay, you’ll want to be aware of other assignments that could affect the amount of time you spend working on the essay.\\n2-5. Give yourself a reasonable time frame.\\nIf you're working within a school calendar, the end of that semester might be the end of your time frame. However, there's still plenty of flexibility in terms of what can be done and when it needs to be done by.\\nDecide in advance when your goal needs to be accomplished.\\nOnce you have a firm deadline, work your way backwards to determine when you need to begin your work and when various milestones along the way must be met.\\nFor example, if you're working within the time frame of a semester, you might decide that you'll accomplish your goal before finals week. That means working backwards to figure out what needs to be completed and when.\\n3. Working Towards Your Goal\\n3-1. Be aware of your deadlines.\\nA well-planned, SMART goal is meaningless if you don't keep track of your deadlines and do the necessary work along the way. You'll need to put in a lot of effort if you hope to accomplish that goal, but with proper planning, you should be able to balance that work very comfortably.\\nIf you have a longer timeframe, be sure to schedule checkpoints along the way. If you want to improve your grade, find out how to monitor your progress, such as by paying attention to progress reports and assignment grades.\\nSchedule your work time and your deadline on your calendar. Get into the habit of setting aside work and study time each day and sticking to your routine.\\nRemove distractions, or remove yourself from distracting situations. If you can't work at home (or in your dorm room) due to distractions there, study in the library and keep your phone turned off.\\nLet your friends know that you may not be available as much for social events while you work to meet your deadlines. You'll need to avoid temptation by simply avoiding those social events altogether that would interrupt your studies.\\n3-2. Identify any potential obstacles.\\nEven the best of plans are susceptible to pitfalls along the way. Most of the potential obstacles you'll face are likely of your own creation, but by being aware of them in advance you can reduce the risk of failure.\\nSome common obstacles to school success include conflicting deadlines, extracurricular activities, spending too much time with friends, and distractions like TV, the internet, and video games.\\nSet limits for yourself. It's okay to spend some time doing fun things, but you have to balance work and play time.\\nFor example, you might decide that you'll allow yourself 30 minutes of video games or an hour with friends, but only after two hours of studying.\\nOnce you've identified the potential obstacles to your success, you can work around them accordingly on your own schedule.\\n3-3. Triage your work.\\nSometimes it makes the most sense to start your work where it's easiest. However, if you're worried about budgeting your time, you may find it helpful to focus on the most difficult or time-consuming tasks first, rather than saving them for last. Alternatively, you might want to get easier assignments out of the way first in order to reduce your stress. Just make sure to allot enough time to finish the more demanding tasks.\\nThe difficult parts of an assignment may require additional periodicals, assistance from an instructor, and other resources that could be difficult to attain on short notice.\\nIn addition to doing the difficult work up front, you should also be aware of any assignments that build off of other assignments. These may require you to complete other work before moving on to that assignment.\\nRemember that the more time you give yourself, the easier it will be to get your most difficult work done on time.\\n3-4. Find support from friends, family, and teachers.\\nHaving support can make a huge difference in your success rate. Not only will the people in your support network help you stay motivated, they can also celebrate with you once you've accomplished your goal.\\nOnce you've identified people who can help support you along the way, let those individuals know what you need from them.\\nSome people might be better at offering kind words of encouragement, while others may be good at getting you to stay focused or getting you back to work when you've started to slack.\\nTips\\nDon't give up. Accomplishing your goals will require hard work and patience, but with the right attitude and a dedication to your work, there will be no stopping you. Write your goal down and refer to it often.

How to Account For Accumulated Depreciation
1. Understanding Accumulated Depreciation 1-1. Learn the basics of depreciation. Understanding accumulated depreciation is impossible without understanding depreciation. Depreciation is the reduction of the value of a fixed asset over a pre-defined period of time. For example, the value of a piece of machinery worth $10,000 at purchase may depreciate by $1,000 per year over a period of 10 years. What is a fixed asset? A fixed asset refers to a piece of property owned by a business that used in the production of income, and is not expected to be converted into cash for at least a year. This can include real estate, office equipment, machinery, vehicles, furniture, and much more. When depreciating an asset, you must know the cost of the asset (how much you paid), the useful life of the asset (how long it is expected to be productive), the salvage value (how much it is worth at the end of its life) and the depreciation method (the rate at which the asset is depreciated over its useful life). Depreciation reflects how the value of an asset is used up over time. 1-2. Account for depreciation. The purpose of depreciation is to match part of the expense of an asset to the income it produces. Because of this, you need to record the depreciation during each period as an expense on the income statement. For example, if your machine depreciates by $1,000 each year, this will be a $1,000 expense on the income statement annually. Having this $1,000 expense on the income statement allows you to match the cost of the asset with the revenues it produces. If you are accounting for the depreciation of an asset, record it as a debit to the Depreciation Expense account. 1-3. Learn what accumulated depreciation is. Accumulated depreciation is simply the total amount of an asset's cost that has been depreciated since the asset was purchased. In other words, it is the total amount of an asset's cost that has been charged as an expense since the asset was purchased. For example, for a $10,000 machine depreciating at $1,000 per year for 10 years, after year five, the accumulated depreciation would be $5,000, reflecting five years of charging $1,000 of the assets value to the depreciation account. If you take the original the cost of the asset (your purchase price), and subtract the accumulated depreciation, you get the "book value" or the "carrying value" of the asset. Accumulated depreciation is known as a "contra-asset". This means that accumulated depreciation is an asset account with a credit balance. In other words, while the price of a machine is listed as an asset, accumulated depreciation has a credit balance which increases over time, and therefore offsets the cost of the asset. It can almost be thought of as a "negative asset". 1-4. Discover what accumulated depreciation is not. It is important to remember that you cannot use accumulated depreciation to value an asset. In other words, if you purchased an asset for $10,000, and there has been accumulated depreciation of $6,000, it does not mean your asset is now worth $4,000. This is because the value of that that asset is determined by what the market is willing to pay for it (also known as the market value). In other words, the carrying value of an asset (cost minus accumulated depreciation), is not the value of the asset. The value of the asset is equal to what it would sell for on the open market. 2. Accounting for Accumulated Depreciation 2-1. Determine your yearly depreciation expense. The IRS has guidelines for determining how long an asset is of use and what the salvage value of the item will be after said number of years. If you know how long an asset is of use, and what the salvage value (or the left over value at the end of the period) is, you can determine your yearly depreciation expense. For example, imagine your firm purchases a piece of machinery for $10,000. The machinery is expected to last ten years and has no salvage value. Using straight-line depreciation (the most common method), the yearly expense is $10,000 / 10 or $1,000. Straight-line depreciation simply depreciates a set amount each year for the useful life. The amount is equal to the purchase price minus the salvage value, divided by the useful life of the asset. The tax methods allowed by the IRS are different than the accounting methods for accumulated depreciation. When filing, make sure you are following the regulations and directions set forth by the IRS. 2-2. Record the journal entries for the depreciation expenses. At the end of each accounting period (a year in this example) you can begin by making entries in the general journal to reflect the charging of depreciation expenses to the income statement. To do this, you will need to open whatever accounting software you are using. You will then open the Depreciation Expense account (or create the account if it is not already there by using the create account feature in the software you are using), and enter a debit entry for $1,000. You will then open the Accumulated Depreciation account, and enter a credit entry for $1,000. In doing this, you have made the year's $1,000 in depreciation for the asset appear as an expense on the income statement. You are also increasing accumulated depreciation by $1,000. This means the carrying value of your asset will now be $9,000 (the purchase price of $10,000 which is listed as an asset, minus the accumulated depreciation of $1,000). 2-3. Close out the Depreciation Expense account. Expense accounts are temporary, so they must be closed at the end of each accounting period. To do this move the $1,000 balance from the Depreciation Expense account into the Income Summary account. From there it will be moved into the Retained Earnings account. 2-4. Maintain the asset's accumulated depreciation on the balance sheet even when the asset is fully depreciated. As long as the asset is on the balance sheet, the accumulated depreciation needs to be as well. For example, after ten years, the asset in the example above will still be recorded on the balance sheet at its cost of $10,000. Accumulated depreciation will also be recorded at $10,000. The asset is now fully depreciated, and these amounts should stay fixed on the balance sheet until the asset is retired. 3. Retiring or Disposing of the Asset 3-1. Understanding asset removal. Assets do not live forever, and when an asset is sold or retired, you need to perform a series of accounting entries to make sure that both the asset, and its accumulated depreciation are completely purged from the balance sheet. If this did not happen, fixed assets would just build up over time, as would accumulated depreciation. 3-2. Record the proper journal entry when an asset with no salvage value is retired. This entry is fairly straightforward but will differ depending on the amount the asset sells for and when it is sold. In the example above, imagine the asset is discarded after ten or more years. To record the journal entry, debit Accumulated Depreciation for $10,000 and credit Equipment for $10,000. This reduces the equipment asset account by the value of the machine, and reduces the accumulated depreciation contra-asset account. The end result is that the asset is removed from the balance sheet. 3-3. Record the proper journal entry when an asset with a salvage value is retired. Imagine the asset is sold after ten or more years for $500. In this case, you would debit Accumulated Depreciation for $10,000 and Credit Equipment for $10,000 the same as you would for an asset with no value. You would also need to debit the Cash account for $500 and credit the Gain on Asset Disposal account for $500. What if you sell the asset before it is fully depreciated? Imagine you sell the asset after six years for $4,000. To record the journal entry, you would debit Accumulated Depreciation for $6,000, debit Cash for $4,000, and credit Equipment for $10,000. In this example, the sales price is equal to the asset's book value. Thus, there is no gain or loss to record. Finally, imagine you discard the asset before it is fully depreciated, say after seven years. To record the journal entry, debit Accumulated Depreciation for $7,000, debit Loss on Asset Disposal for $3,000, and credit Equipment for $10,000. Tips Land assets are not depreciated. They are instead regularly marked up or down to their estimated market value.

Record the proper journal entry when an asset with no salvage value is retired.\\nThis entry is fairly straightforward but will differ depending on the amount the asset sells for and when it is sold.\\nIn the example above, imagine the asset is discarded after ten or more years. To record the journal entry, debit Accumulated Depreciation for $10,000 and credit Equipment for $10,000.\\nThis reduces the equipment asset account by the value of the machine, and reduces the accumulated depreciation contra-asset account. The end result is that the asset is removed from the balance sheet.\\n3-3. Record the proper journal entry when an asset with a salvage value is retired.\\nImagine the asset is sold after ten or more years for $500. In this case, you would debit Accumulated Depreciation for $10,000 and Credit Equipment for $10,000 the same as you would for an asset with no value. You would also need to debit the Cash account for $500 and credit the Gain on Asset Disposal account for $500.\\nWhat if you sell the asset before it is fully depreciated? Imagine you sell the asset after six years for $4,000. To record the journal entry, you would debit Accumulated Depreciation for $6,000, debit Cash for $4,000, and credit Equipment for $10,000. In this example, the sales price is equal to the asset's book value. Thus, there is no gain or loss to record.\\nFinally, imagine you discard the asset before it is fully depreciated, say after seven years. To record the journal entry, debit Accumulated Depreciation for $7,000, debit Loss on Asset Disposal for $3,000, and credit Equipment for $10,000.\\nTips\\nLand assets are not depreciated. They are instead regularly marked up or down to their estimated market value.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Understanding and accounting for accumulated depreciation is an essential part of accounting.

Depreciation is the reduction of the value of a fixed asset over a pre-defined period of time. For example, the value of a piece of machinery worth $10,000 at purchase may depreciate by $1,000 per year over a period of 10 years.\\nWhat is a fixed asset? A fixed asset refers to a piece of property owned by a business that used in the production of income, and is not expected to be converted into cash for at least a year. This can include real estate, office equipment, machinery, vehicles, furniture, and much more.\\nWhen depreciating an asset, you must know the cost of the asset (how much you paid), the useful life of the asset (how long it is expected to be productive), the salvage value (how much it is worth at the end of its life) and the depreciation method (the rate at which the asset is depreciated over its useful life).\\nDepreciation reflects how the value of an asset is used up over time.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Account for depreciation.\", \"描述\": \"The purpose of depreciation is to match part of the expense of an asset to the income it produces.

This means that accumulated depreciation is an asset account with a credit balance.

This is because the value of that that asset is determined by what the market is willing to pay for it (also known as the market value).\\nIn other words, the carrying value of an asset (cost minus accumulated depreciation), is not the value of the asset.

Using straight-line depreciation (the most common method), the yearly expense is $10,000 / 10 or $1,000.\\nStraight-line depreciation simply depreciates a set amount each year for the useful life.

How to Account For Deferred Revenue
1. Determining What Revenue to Defer 1-1. Familiarize yourself with the accrual basis of accounting. Deferred revenue is an aspect of what is called the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded on the income statement when they are earned rather than received. This contrasts with the cash basis of accounting wherein the opposite is true. 1-2. Understand why you need to defer revenue. Accrual-based accounting requires you to defer unearned revenue because of a principle called the revenue recognition principle. The revenue recognition principle requires accountants to show revenues on the income statement in the period in which they are earned, not in the period when the cash is collected. This requires a differentiation between realized and earned revenue. Realized revenue is revenue received regardless of whether the company has fulfilled its obligations to the purchaser. Realized yet unearned revenue is the subset of revenue which must be deferred. For instance, say a magazine company receives a twelve-month subscription for a monthly publication. The subscription costs $120, and the subscriber pays the entire cost of the subscription up front. Thus, before the company delivers any magazines to the customer, the $120 is classified as deferred revenue and represents a liability to the company. In other words, the revenue has been realized but not yet earned. 1-3. Identify transactions involving deferred revenue. Deferred revenue deals with revenue realized in one reporting period but earned in the next. The reporting period can be monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the company. Identify all customer orders as of the reporting period end date that have not been fulfilled, yet for which the company has already received payment. Report any transaction meeting this criteria as deferred revenue. This includes items that have been paid in full but await shipment, as well as subscription-based revenues where the subscription period is still ongoing. Once these transactions have been identified, the accounting staff must calculate and record the amount of the deferral. 2. Recording Deferred Revenue 2-1. Record the deferred revenue. Recording deferred revenue applies to the company’s balance sheet. The company receives cash (an asset account on the balance sheet) and records deferred revenue (a liability account on the balance sheet). In the example from Part 1, the company receives a $120 advance payment relating to a twelve-month magazine subscription. When the company receives payment (but before delivering the subscription), the company must record the entire amount of the payment as deferred revenue. To do this, the accounting staff will post the following journal entry: Debit Cash $120 Credit Deferred Revenue ($120) 2-2. Record the earned revenue. This journal entry affects the balance sheet and the income statement. This entry essentially updates the entry in the previous step by reducing the balance sheet liability and transferring the amount to the income statement. Consider the magazine subscription example. After the first month of the subscription, $10 ($120 / 12) of revenue has been earned and the deferred revenue amount is now $110. The accounting staff will transfer $10 from the deferred revenue account to the earned revenue account using the journal entry below: Debit Deferred Revenue $10 Credit Subscription Revenue ($10) 2-3. Continue adjusting the ledger until all the revenue is earned. The company’s accountants must keep adjusting the balance sheet and income sheet over the course of the service. The adjusting entries will continue until the company has fulfilled its obligation of goods or services and the liability to the customer reaches zero. Using the previous example, at that time, the deferred revenue account will have a balance of $0, and $120 of revenue will have been recognized. Tips While accrual-based accounting is handled similarly in different countries, the exact process taken to defer revenues will vary based on each country's reporting standards. The examples above are consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards (GAAP). Sales contracts can take many different forms, from point of sale purchases to subscription revenue and contract milestones. If you deal with an unusual or complex sales contract, determine the proper revenue recognition techniques before recording revenue or deferrals under the contract. The accountant should balance the need for recording deferrals with the extra work of calculating them. If your company will recognize 100% of revenue in the same month as the initial deferral, it may be possible to skip recording the deferral. This is true in most cases where the revenue is realized and earned in the same accounting period.

How to Account For Petty Cash
1. Establishing the Petty Cash System 1-1. Purchase a lock box. When you are starting a petty cash fund, you need to buy a lock box that will hold the cash available for use and the receipts for what has been spent. You need a small, metal box that can easily fit within a desk drawer. This box can either have combination lock or have a key lock, depending on what is best for your particular office. Either way, it needs to be extremely secure to deter people from tampering with the box. You need to have a box big enough to keep all the money and receipts in, but small enough to be inconspicuous and easily hid. Make sure you get one with a money tray so the bills and change can be easily organized. These are available in most stationery or office supply stores. 1-2. Assign responsibility for the petty cash fund. Once you have a place to store the money, you need to assign an individual in charge of the petty cash box and account. The person you assign should be generally available to any employee who might have need of petty cash, such as an accounting clerk or an administrative assistant. The custodian or cashier of the petty cash box is responsible for disbursing petty cash funds in return for written receipts, replenishing cash in the fund when needed, and recording items purchased or paid for with petty cash funds. 1-3. Store the petty cash box. Petty cash boxes should be kept out of sight in a closed drawer. The drawer needs to be in the custodian's desk or another drawer that is easy for the custodian to get to. The combination or key to open the box should be kept in a different drawer, possibly on the key chain of the custodian. It depends on who else needs access to the box and if you have more than one custodian. To add an extra layer of protection, the drawer you keep the box in can also have a lock. This would provide additional security for the money that is kept there. If you have more than one person who needs access to the cash box, think about having multiple keys made or finding a box that comes with additional keys. 1-4. Determine the withdrawal limit. Petty cash is not intended to replace or avoid accounting control of expenses. It is set up as a convenience for small purchases that do not warrant writing checks. You need to establish the maximum transaction amount to be handled through the petty cash system. This way, any transaction above that amount can be handled through the normal purchasing process. For example, a company might restrict petty cash transactions to $50 or less. Any transaction above $50 would then be processed as a normal account payable. 1-5. Deposit cash into the petty cash fund. Once you have the basics covered, you need to put money into petty cash. You should write a check to the custodian to initially establish the fund. The check amount should be sufficient to handle most cash purchases for the time period you choose, but not so large as to encourage theft. Once the check is cashed, the money should be placed into the petty cash box. A typical beginning amount is between $100-$500. Make sure you keep all denominations of bills in the petty cash drawer. You should have a few $20, a few $10, a good number of $5, and a decent amount of $1. You should also have coins as well. This will make it easy to reimburse petty cash payments. 1-6. Create a petty cash transaction log. With the first initial payment to petty cash, the custodian should start a log of the transactions that go through the petty cash box. This can be a simple hand written accounting log or an online spread sheet kept up with by the custodian. The petty cash custodian should keep up with each transaction by placing it in the log. There should be a line for the description of the transaction, such as office supplies or shipping charge. There also needs to be a column for the amount spent and the person who used the petty cash. There should also be a column for deposits to the account to keep track of when the fund is replenished. The first payment to petty cash should be placed in the log as a petty cash deposit. Then all the transactions can be deducted from this amount. 1-7. Establish the petty cash fund on the accounting records of the company. Cash and petty cash accounts are both asset accounts. When initially opening the petty cash fund, cash is simply transferred from one asset account to another with no effect on the balance of the organization’s assets. Once the petty cash fund becomes its own entity, you should keep track of it as a separate account that can be tabulated just like any other account. The transactions that are made to the company's account for opening the petty cash fund should be a credit from the cash account for the amount of the check given to petty cash. You can then transcribe the transaction to the petty cash fund as a debit of cash to the account, which will establish its initial balance from $0 to the amount you deposit into the fund. In this stage, there has been no actual expense because the money has simply been transferred from one account of the company to another, so the total assets of the company are unchanged. 1-8. Start using the money. Once there is enough cash in the petty cash box, the business can start using it for small transactions. The custodian should require a receipt for each petty cash purchase. When presented with the receipt of purchase, the custodian should note the date and name of the purchaser on the receipt and deposit the receipt in the petty cash box. The custodian should also reimburse the purchaser with exact change for the purchase. The custodian can also give an advance on petty cash in order to buy something. The company can come up with a system where the person who is going to buy something comes to the custodian for a cash advance. The custodian can mark the purchase in a log to explain what the purchaser intends to buy with the cash advance and how much is needed. Once the purchaser buys the products he set out for, he should return to the custodian with the receipt and change. 2. Managing the Petty Cash Expenditures 2-1. Replenish the cash. The accounting clerk needs to replenish the amount of cash in the petty cash fund as often as needed. The custodian should start another log each time the fund is replenished. The custodian should give the completed list and accompanying receipts to the designated accounting clerk. He will audit the receipts, check the addition of the petty cash receipts, and write a check to the custodian for the total amount spent in order to replenish the fund. The custodian then cashes the check and deposits the funds in the petty cash box, restoring the beginning balance of the petty cash fund. If the petty cash is not used all that often or if there is a larger amount in the box, you may never use all of the petty cash. In these cases, the clerk can replenish what has been taken out once a month in order to keep track of the expenditures and help with the accounting of the petty cash. If you find that you need more money in your petty cash, you can increase the balance of the fund at any time. All the accounting clerk has to do is write a check to the custodian for the additional amount. For example, if the $100 initial balance is insufficient to pay the expenses the majority of time, increase the fund to $200 by writing a check to the custodian for a second $100. The custodian should then follow the normal procedure for replenishment. 2-2. Account for the petty cash transactions. Once the list of transactions from the petty cash custodian is complete, the accounting clerk will confirm that a receipt is present for each transaction, and that expenditures are properly added to calculate the sum. He should then sort each receipt into the appropriate expense category and total the expenditure for each category. Common expense categories that use petty cash include postage, office supplies, and transportation. There is no need to make an entry for each transaction since an individual small expense is insignificant in the operation of the company. Log them as complete sums under each category. It is important to ensure that the total amount of receipts equals the amount initially in the petty cash account. Any variation may mean a purchase was not accounted for. For example, if you had $100 in the petty cash account, once it is drained, you should have $100 in receipts. The initial cash as a petty cash run rarely goes to 0. The receipts should equal the difference between the initial cash in petty cash account and the remaining cash before reimbursement. Accordingly, the check for reimbursement should equal the total of receipts and bring the petty cash fund back to original balance. 2-3. Log the expenditures. After sorting and totaling the receipts in each of the expense categories, the accounting clerk should properly record the expenses associated with the petty cash receipts. He should credit the cash account first for the total amount of the reimbursement to petty cash, which reduces the balance of the main cash account by the same amount. He should then debit the individual expense accounts for the sums spent in each. The total debit in the expense accounts will equal the credit of the petty cash account. For example, if you have $200 in petty cash receipts, you would then need to record that $200 in the appropriate expense accounts. If all the $200 were "office expenses," you would debit the office expense account $200. The accounts for each type of expense will increase by the amount spent in each category to show that the company spent that much on those items. Then, the net income of the company will decrease by the amount spent on the expense statement.
{ "create_time": "20230517 10:42:46", "回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Establishing the Petty Cash System\\n1-1. Purchase a lock box.\\nWhen you are starting a petty cash fund, you need to buy a lock box that will hold the cash available for use and the receipts for what has been spent. You need a small, metal box that can easily fit within a desk drawer. This box can either have combination lock or have a key lock, depending on what is best for your particular office. Either way, it needs to be extremely secure to deter people from tampering with the box.\\nYou need to have a box big enough to keep all the money and receipts in, but small enough to be inconspicuous and easily hid. Make sure you get one with a money tray so the bills and change can be easily organized.\\nThese are available in most stationery or office supply stores.\\n1-2. Assign responsibility for the petty cash fund.\\nOnce you have a place to store the money, you need to assign an individual in charge of the petty cash box and account. The person you assign should be generally available to any employee who might have need of petty cash, such as an accounting clerk or an administrative assistant.\\nThe custodian or cashier of the petty cash box is responsible for disbursing petty cash funds in return for written receipts, replenishing cash in the fund when needed, and recording items purchased or paid for with petty cash funds.\\n1-3. Store the petty cash box.\\nPetty cash boxes should be kept out of sight in a closed drawer. The drawer needs to be in the custodian's desk or another drawer that is easy for the custodian to get to. The combination or key to open the box should be kept in a different drawer, possibly on the key chain of the custodian. It depends on who else needs access to the box and if you have more than one custodian.\\nTo add an extra layer of protection, the drawer you keep the box in can also have a lock. This would provide additional security for the money that is kept there.\\nIf you have more than one person who needs access to the cash box, think about having multiple keys made or finding a box that comes with additional keys.\\n1-4. Determine the withdrawal limit.\\nPetty cash is not intended to replace or avoid accounting control of expenses. It is set up as a convenience for small purchases that do not warrant writing checks. You need to establish the maximum transaction amount to be handled through the petty cash system. This way, any transaction above that amount can be handled through the normal purchasing process.\\nFor example, a company might restrict petty cash transactions to $50 or less. Any transaction above $50 would then be processed as a normal account payable.\\n1-5. Deposit cash into the petty cash fund.\\nOnce you have the basics covered, you need to put money into petty cash. You should write a check to the custodian to initially establish the fund. The check amount should be sufficient to handle most cash purchases for the time period you choose, but not so large as to encourage theft. Once the check is cashed, the money should be placed into the petty cash box. \\nA typical beginning amount is between $100-$500.\\nMake sure you keep all denominations of bills in the petty cash drawer. You should have a few $20, a few $10, a good number of $5, and a decent amount of $1. You should also have coins as well. This will make it easy to reimburse petty cash payments.\\n1-6. Create a petty cash transaction log.\\nWith the first initial payment to petty cash, the custodian should start a log of the transactions that go through the petty cash box. This can be a simple hand written accounting log or an online spread sheet kept up with by the custodian. The petty cash custodian should keep up with each transaction by placing it in the log. There should be a line for the description of the transaction, such as office supplies or shipping charge. There also needs to be a column for the amount spent and the person who used the petty cash.\\nThere should also be a column for deposits to the account to keep track of when the fund is replenished. The first payment to petty cash should be placed in the log as a petty cash deposit. Then all the transactions can be deducted from this amount.\\n1-7. Establish the petty cash fund on the accounting records of the company.\\nCash and petty cash accounts are both asset accounts. When initially opening the petty cash fund, cash is simply transferred from one asset account to another with no effect on the balance of the organization’s assets. Once the petty cash fund becomes its own entity, you should keep track of it as a separate account that can be tabulated just like any other account.\\nThe transactions that are made to the company's account for opening the petty cash fund should be a credit from the cash account for the amount of the check given to petty cash. You can then transcribe the transaction to the petty cash fund as a debit of cash to the account, which will establish its initial balance from $0 to the amount you deposit into the fund.\\nIn this stage, there has been no actual expense because the money has simply been transferred from one account of the company to another, so the total assets of the company are unchanged.\\n1-8. Start using the money.\\nOnce there is enough cash in the petty cash box, the business can start using it for small transactions. The custodian should require a receipt for each petty cash purchase. When presented with the receipt of purchase, the custodian should note the date and name of the purchaser on the receipt and deposit the receipt in the petty cash box.\\nThe custodian should also reimburse the purchaser with exact change for the purchase.\\nThe custodian can also give an advance on petty cash in order to buy something. The company can come up with a system where the person who is going to buy something comes to the custodian for a cash advance. The custodian can mark the purchase in a log to explain what the purchaser intends to buy with the cash advance and how much is needed. Once the purchaser buys the products he set out for, he should return to the custodian with the receipt and change.\\n2. Managing the Petty Cash Expenditures\\n2-1. Replenish the cash.\\nThe accounting clerk needs to replenish the amount of cash in the petty cash fund as often as needed. The custodian should start another log each time the fund is replenished. The custodian should give the completed list and accompanying receipts to the designated accounting clerk. He will audit the receipts, check the addition of the petty cash receipts, and write a check to the custodian for the total amount spent in order to replenish the fund.\\nThe custodian then cashes the check and deposits the funds in the petty cash box, restoring the beginning balance of the petty cash fund.\\nIf the petty cash is not used all that often or if there is a larger amount in the box, you may never use all of the petty cash. In these cases, the clerk can replenish what has been taken out once a month in order to keep track of the expenditures and help with the accounting of the petty cash.\\nIf you find that you need more money in your petty cash, you can increase the balance of the fund at any time. All the accounting clerk has to do is write a check to the custodian for the additional amount. For example, if the $100 initial balance is insufficient to pay the expenses the majority of time, increase the fund to $200 by writing a check to the custodian for a second $100. The custodian should then follow the normal procedure for replenishment.\\n2-2. Account for the petty cash transactions.\\nOnce the list of transactions from the petty cash custodian is complete, the accounting clerk will confirm that a receipt is present for each transaction, and that expenditures are properly added to calculate the sum. He should then sort each receipt into the appropriate expense category and total the expenditure for each category.\\nCommon expense categories that use petty cash include postage, office supplies, and transportation.\\nThere is no need to make an entry for each transaction since an individual small expense is insignificant in the operation of the company. Log them as complete sums under each category.\\nIt is important to ensure that the total amount of receipts equals the amount initially in the petty cash account. Any variation may mean a purchase was not accounted for. For example, if you had $100 in the petty cash account, once it is drained, you should have $100 in receipts.\\nThe initial cash as a petty cash run rarely goes to 0. The receipts should equal the difference between the initial cash in petty cash account and the remaining cash before reimbursement.\\nAccordingly, the check for reimbursement should equal the total of receipts and bring the petty cash fund back to original balance.\\n2-3. Log the expenditures.\\nAfter sorting and totaling the receipts in each of the expense categories, the accounting clerk should properly record the expenses associated with the petty cash receipts.\\nHe should credit the cash account first for the total amount of the reimbursement to petty cash, which reduces the balance of the main cash account by the same amount.\\nHe should then debit the individual expense accounts for the sums spent in each. The total debit in the expense accounts will equal the credit of the petty cash account.\\nFor example, if you have $200 in petty cash receipts, you would then need to record that $200 in the appropriate expense accounts. If all the $200 were \\\"office expenses,\\\" you would debit the office expense account $200. \\nThe accounts for each type of expense will increase by the amount spent in each category to show that the company spent that much on those items. Then, the net income of the company will decrease by the amount spent on the expense statement.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Every business makes small purchases each day for items such as office supplies, stamps, shipping charges, and other miscellaneous items.

How to Account for Advance Payments
1. Classifying the Advance Payment 1-1. Qualify the type of advance payment. This depends on whether or not the goods or services have been delivered. The advance payment is classed as earned revenue if the payment is for goods and services that have been partially or completely delivered to the customer, but have not yet been invoiced. The advanced payment is classed as unearned revenue should the payment be for goods and services that will be delivered and invoiced at a future date, since the seller has not yet provided any benefits to the buyer. 1-2. Create a special account in the company accounting journal. Label it "Customer Deposits" or "Prepaid Sales." You might think a customer deposit would be straight income, but since you "owe" the customer something, it's actually a liability to the business. 1-3. Relate the advance payment to a customer account. If this is new client, create a customer account in the accounting records. The detail for the earned or unearned revenue should be posted in that account as well, pending further actions such as filling the order and creating the invoice for that order. For example, you would create an account called "Smith Metal Technology." 2. Accounting for Customer Deposits 2-1. Record the amount of the deposit from the customer. In your accounting journal, debit the Cash account and credit the Customer Deposits account in the same amount. Debits increase expenses, assets such as cash or equipment, and dividend accounts. Credits decrease these accounts and increase liability and equity accounts. For example, when Smith Metal Technology makes a $1,000 deposit, debit Cash for $1,000 and credit Customer Deposits for $1,000. 2-2. When the work is completed, send an invoice to the customer. Note on the invoice the amount of the deposit previously paid and subtract it from the total amount owed. Revenue can be recognized when the work has been completed and the customer has been invoiced, not when the money is received. For example, if the total invoice is for $5,000, deduct the $1,000 deposit to total $4,000 owed. 2-3. Record the transaction in your accounting journal. Revenues are credited $5,000, Accounts Receivable is debited for $4,000, and Customer Deposits are debited for $1,000. This is how you record the revenue to the company - by converting a liability (work owed) into an asset (accounts receivable). 3. Posting to Company Reports 3-1. Post the advance payment. This will be on either the balance sheet or the income statement based on the payment classification (which is based on whether or not a percentage of the work/service has already been delivered). If classed as "unearned revenue", the amount may be posted to the company balance sheet as a liability under the unearned income/revenue line item. A notation that connects the revenue with the specific customer's account number will make it easier to move the balance once an invoice is created. For example, on the balance sheet you would have a line item stating Unearned Revenue, $1,000 Smith Metal Technology, account number 589. Earned revenue can be posted to the company's income statement, once an invoice has been sent. 3-2. Complete the transactions once the invoice is posted. This will move the unearned income from the balance sheet, since it can now be counted as a payment on a specific invoice number found in the open accounts payable and considered part of the receivables for the period. Earned income in like manner can be moved from an outstanding line item on the income statement applied toward the balance of the invoice. The income statement would state "Revenue $5,000" after the work is completed and the invoice sent. 3-3. Keep good records. Paper copies of all documents related to each customer payment should be kept for at least one year until your accounts have been audited and your taxes filed. Then you can save documentation electronically for at least seven years. Tips Many accounting software packages include automated processes for posting advance payments according to accepted accounting principles. To manage the posting, all that is required is to enter the amount of the payment, class it as earned or unearned revenue, and relate it to a specific customer. The software then makes the necessary entries on the proper accounting sheets and statements. Slightly different methods may be used in different parts of the world. One approach calls for creating what is known as a pending or advance invoice and listing the advance payment as a credit on that invoice. Once the goods and services have been debited to the invoice, the credit is applied and the customer receives an invoice that reflects a zero balance or any remaining balance that the advance payment did not cover.

How to Account for Bonds
1. Accounting For a Bond Issue 1-1. Set up a Bonds Payable account. When a corporation issues a bond, they are essentially taking out loans from bondholders. The bond issuer must then make accounting entries to recognize the receipt of cash and the amount owed to bondholders. The amount owed back to bondholders at maturity is recorded in an account called Bonds Payable. Open or update this account to record bond entries. 1-2. Record the appropriate book entries upon issuing the bond. The first accounting treatment occurs when the bond originates and warrants an entry in the accounting journal. If the bond has been sold at face value, rather at a premium or discount, the entry made is very simple. Record a debit to the Cash account and a credit to Bonds Payable, both for the total face value of the bonds issued. To record the sale of a $1000 bond, for example, debit Cash for $1000 and credit Bonds Payable (a long-term liability account) for $1000. The face value of the bonds represents the amount at which they will be redeemed or paid off at maturity. This can also be called the par, stated, or maturity value of the bond. 1-3. Make entries to record a bond premium or discount. Bonds not purchased at par are purchased either above par, at a premium, or below, at a discount. Specifically, zero-coupon bonds (bonds that do not pay regular interest payments) are a type of bond offered at a discount. If the bond sells at a premium or discount, three accounts are affected. To record the sale of a $1000 bond that sells at a premium for $1080, for example, debit Cash for $1080. Then, Credit Bonds Payable for $1000 and Premium on Bonds Payable (a liability account) for $80. A similar entry is made if the bond sells at a discount. Consider a $1000 bond selling for $950. To record the sale, debit Cash for $950 and Discount on Bonds Payable (a contra-liability account) for $50, and credit Bonds Payable for $1000. Similarly, a zero-coupon bond is recorded as a bond sold at a discount. For example, a $2,000 zero-coupon bond might be sold at a discount for $1,780. This would be recorded as a debit to Cash for $1,780, a debit to Discount on Bonds Payable for the difference, $220, and a credit to Bonds Payable for $2,000. 1-4. Allow for issuance costs. A bond issue will likely incur addition costs to the corporation. These might include any legal expenses, commissions, printing expenses, and registration costs associated with the issue. These expenses are recorded as a debit to Other Assets and a credit to the Cash account for the total amount of the costs. They may then be amortized (recognized in regular increments) over the life of the bonds. 2. Making Entries Over the Bond's Life 2-1. Account for interest expenses. Many bonds make payments to bondholders known as coupon or interest payments. These are typically made either annually or semiannually and are calculated as the percentage of the bond's par value. The interest accumulating against the bond's face value must be recorded as it is incurred, and an entry must be made recognizing coupon payments. Consider a $1000 bond with a 12 percent coupon rate (for a total of $120 annually) that makes coupon payments semiannually. If the issuing company prepares financial statements annually or quarterly, the interest expense needs to be recorded only as the coupon payments are made. Using the previous example, there would be two entries per year in the general journal. Each entry would debit Interest Expense for $60 and credit Cash for $60. If the company prepares monthly financial statements, journal entries will also be needed each month to recognize the accrued interest. In the example above, each month the firm would debit Interest Expense for $10 and credit Interest Payable for $10. 2-2. Record the amortization of a discount or premium. If the bond sells above or below its face value, the discount or premium must be amortized (allocated to the income statement) evenly over the life of the bond. Consider a $1000 bond that sells for $1050 and has a coupon rate of 12 percent and a length of five years. When the bond is sold, the account named Premium on Bonds Payable will have a $50 credit balance. This balance needs to be amortized by the same amount each time a coupon payment is made. The amortization will be recorded in ten equal parts (semiannual payments for 5 years = 10 total payments). This means each part will be $50/10, or $5. When a coupon payment is made on the above bond, the journal entry will call for a debit to Interest Expense for $55, a debit to Premium on Bonds Payable for $5, and a credit to Cash for $60. An opposite entry is made to amortize a bond discount. Assuming the same bond terms but at a discount price of $950, the amortization would be recorded at each interest payment as a $65 debit to Interest Expense, a $5 credit to Discount on Bonds Payable, and a $60 credit to Cash. A similar entry is made to account for zero-coupon bond interest. For example, imagine a zero-coupon bond sold at a discount for $1,780 with a face value of $2,000 and a duration of 2 years. This represent an annual "interest" rate of 6 percent. This 6 percent rate is recognized each year with a debit to Interest Expense and a credit to Bonds Payable, both in the amount of the interest that year. This would be $107 in year 1 and $113 in year two. 2-3. Amortize bond issuance costs. Bond issuance costs may be also be amortized over the life of the bonds. To do so, divide the total issuance costs by the number of months until bond maturity and then recognize that amount each month in the Bond Issue Cost Expense account. When the bonds reach maturity, the issuance costs will be fully amortized. For example, imagine your bond issuance costs were $12,000 and your bonds mature in 5 years. Divide the $12,000 by the total number of months to maturity (60) to get the monthly expense, which would be $200. Each month, recognize a debit to Bond Issue Cost Expense (an Income Statement account) for $200 and a credit to Bond Issue Costs (a Balance Sheet account) for $200. 2-4. Make a journal entry at bond maturity. When the bond comes to maturity, the face value is given to the investor in cash. The journal entry for recording the maturation of a bond calls for a credit to Cash and a debit to Bonds Payable, both in the amount of the bond's face value. This holds true for bonds sold at a discount or premium as well, because the bond's book values will have been amortized to meet their face values at this point. For example, a $1,000 bond's redemption would be recorded as a $1,000 credit to Cash and a $1,000 debit to Bonds Payable. 2-5. Record bonds retired early. In some cases, it might be to the corporation's advantage to redeem bonds before their scheduled maturity. This means that the corporation will have to pay bondholders the "early call" price stated in the bond covenant. If the bonds were sold at a premium or discount, this could represent a loss or gain for the corporation. The gain or loss is calculated by determining the bond's current carrying value and subtracting it from the cost of early redemption. For example, imagine a bond with a par value of $1,000 that was sold at a premium that has been amortized down to $50, for a total carrying value of $1,050. The early call price is stated at $1,200. The loss on bond redemption would be the difference of these two prices, which is $150. The entries made would be debits to Bonds Payable for $1,000, Premium on Bonds Payable for $50, and Loss on Bond Redemption for $150. There would also be a credit to the Cash account for $1,200. 3. Accounting For Bond Purchases 3-1. Determine the bond terms. If a business or corporation purchases a bond, accounting entries must be made to record the purchase and subsequent payments. Start by determining the bond's terms, such as issue price (what you pay), face value (what the bond pays at maturity), and the frequency and amount of interest payments (if any). This information, along with other terms, will be listed in the bond covenant, which is a sort of investment agreement for bonds. 3-2. Record the bond purchase. A bond purchase is recognized like other purchases a business might make. A debit is recognized to the asset account Investment in Bonds and a credit is made to the Cash account, both for the amount paid for the bond. This is true for bonds purchased at par, at a discount, or at a premium. For example, a $1,000 bond purchased at a premium for $1,050 would be recognized as a $1,050 debit to Investment in Bonds and a $1,050 credit to Cash. The Investment in Bonds Account is sometimes called Investment in Long-Term Securities so that other long-term securities may be included in the same account. Bonds with a maturity date of less than one year are included in current assets. Long-term bonds are transferred from long-term assets to current assets in the year preceding their maturity. When they are transferred, bonds are valued at the lower of book value at the date of transfer and original cost. 3-3. Amortize discounts or premiums in interest payment entries. Interest paid to bondholders is recorded as an inflow of cash. The accounting entries made are a debit to Cash and a credit to Interest Income, both for the amount of the coupon payment. If a bond is purchased at a discount or premium however, interest should be recorded differently. The discount or premium is amortized over the life of the bond by either increasing or reducing the recognized amount of interest income. For example, imagine a $1,000, 3-year bond, that pays 5 percent interest semiannually. The bond was purchased at a premium for $1,060. The interest payment would be half of 5 percent of $1,000, or $25. However, the $60 premium must be amortized for $10 each time interest is paid because there are six total payments. So, the entries made would be a debit to Cash for $25 (the payment), and credits to Interest Income for $15 and Investment in Bonds for $10. For a discounted bond with the same terms sold at $970, the opposite entries would be made. This time, interest income would be increased from the $25 received to include some of the discount (specifically $5, as the $30 discount would be spread out over 6 payments). The entries made here would be debits to Cash for $25 and Investment in Bonds for $5, and then a credit to Interest Income for the sum, which would be $30. 3-4. Make an entry to record bond redemption. Finally, when the bond reaches maturity and is redeemed by the bondholder, the bondholder must recognize the receipt of cash and the reduction in their Investment in Bonds account. Make entries for a debit to Cash and a credit to Investment in Bonds for the face value of the redeemed bonds. Tips The example calculations above will work equally well when expressed in other currencies.

How to Account for Customer Deposits
1. Receiving a Prepayment Deposit 1-1. Create an account called "Customer Deposits" or "Prepaid Sales" in your accounting journal. While a customer deposit sounds like straight income to you, it is in fact a liability to the business because you "owe" the customer something. This is why you need to create a special account. Think of an account as like a line item on your personal budget. Check to make sure that this "Customer Deposits" account has not already been created under another name. 1-2. Determine which accounts to debit or credit. All financial transactions must be entered in the company's general financial ledger. Each transaction is listed as a debit or credit and for every debit there must be a credit. Debits increase expenses, assets (such as cash or furniture) and dividend accounts. Credits decrease these accounts. An easy way to remember this is D-E-A-D (Debits-Expenses-Assets-Dividends). For example, if you are paying a utility bill you would debit accounts payable and credit cash. 1-3. Record the amount of the deposit that the customer makes. In your accounting journal, debit the Cash account and credit the Customer Deposits account in the same amount. 1-4. Send an invoice to the customer for the work after it has been completed. Note on the invoice the amount of the deposit previously paid and subtract it from the total amount owed. 1-5. Record that the invoice has been created and apply the deposit amount. Credit the Revenue account while debiting Accounts Receivable and Customer Deposits. Revenue is recognized when the work has been done and the customer has been billed, not when the money is received. 2. Making a Prepayment Deposit 2-1. Create an account called "Down Payments" or "Prepaid Expenses" in your accounting journal. Check to make sure that this "Down Payments" account has not already been created under another name. 2-2. Record in your accounting journal the amount of the deposit you paid. Credit your Cash account and debit the "Down Payments" account for the amount paid. Down Payments are considered assets to your business. 2-3. Make a record in your accounting journal when you receive the goods or services you ordered along with the invoice. This way you are turning an asset (down payment) into an expense when the vendor’s bill arrives. Credit Down Payments and debit Accounts Payable, which is a short-term debt payment that needs to be paid in order to avoid default. 2-4. Record in your accounting journal when you pay the balance of the invoice. This can include the balance of what you owe plus any shipping charges, for example. The remaining amount of what you owe for the goods or services will require a credit to Cash and a debit to Accounts Payable. 3. Keeping Detailed Records 3-1. Include a brief description for each transaction you enter into the journal. For example, "paid cash for down payment on sewing machinery, January, 2015." 3-2. Keep backup documentation on your journal entries. This is very important in case there are errors or for any questions later. Documentation on all entries can be filed by assigning a journal entry number and date as a packet. Anyone should be able to look up a journal entry in the general ledger and then go to the backup documentation easily. 3-3. Keep paper copies of all documentation for at least one year. You will need these until your accounts have been audited and your taxes filed. 3-4. Save documentation electronically for at least seven years. Scan them, front and back, and keep those copies on two disks, one to be stored in the office and one off site to be used in case of emergency. Tips Think of a Customer Deposits account as a holding account for the money. It is used up as invoices are created or received against it. Because the process of accounting for down payments is a bit more labor-intensive, it is usually better to create a separate account for any vendor used consistently. Warnings While you may be tempted to simply invoice your customer for a down payment, this is against Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and does not allow for a proper paper trail of the transaction. You cannot claim a deposit as revenue until you have provided the goods or service.

How to Account for Debt Forgiveness
1. Categorize the Nature of the Debt 1-1. Determine whether it is business or non-business bad debt. The IRS distinguishes clearly between business and non-business types of bad debt. Business bad debt is a worthless (uncollectible) debt that was created or acquired during the course of business. This might includes loans or credit sales to customers or vendors, or business loan guarantees. Nonbusiness bad debts are defined more broadly as all other bad debts (not related to business). To be a bad debt, the debt must be considered "worthless." That is, reasonable efforts must have been made to collect the debt. A debt is considered a bad debt when, even after attempting collection, there is no expectation that the debt will be repaid. Business debt allows for partial deductions, whereas non-business debt requires a deduction of the entire debt amount. 1-2. Review the debt agreement to determine breaches of contract. The debt agreement should clearly lay out the terms of the debt and repayment. This might include a schedule, payment amount, interest rate, fees, and other details. Check the agreement again to be sure that the debtor is in violation of its terms. Debts without a signed agreement will be more difficult or impossible to collect, as it may seem that they are a gift. 1-3. Identify breach and contractual remedies. Specify the type of breach, whether it is low payment, no payment, or late payment. Then, identify the steps taken to remedy breach. These step may be laid out in a debt collection policy on the lender's side. For example, a lender might work with the debtor to accept a payment gap or create a payment plan. 1-4. Document collection efforts. Document any attempts to collect on the debt. Specifically, write down who was spoken to over the phone and what was discussed. In addition, keep copies of any letters sent or received between the lender and debtor. These "demand letters" can be used when proving collection efforts in court. 2. Accounting for Business Bad Debt Expense as a Lender 2-1. Determine which treatment method is used. As a lender, there are two major treatments that can be used when dealing with business bad debt. The first, the direct write-off method, accounts for bad debts only when they are confirmed to be uncollectible. This is the simpler of the two methods, but sometimes must be amended if the borrower eventually does pay the debt. The other method is the allowance for doubtful accounts. This method sets aside an amount to account for bad debts before the debts are deemed uncollectible. The amount is set using estimates from historical bad debt percentages. Use the method established in your bookkeeping procedures. If there is no existing method, use the direct write-off method to start. You can always use the allowance method once you know how much bad debt to expect. 2-2. Write off bad debt The direct write-off method requires the creation of an expense account that will record the bad debt expenses experienced throughout the period. When a bad debt is recorded, it is recorded as a debit to Bad Debt Expense and a credit to Account Receivable, both for the amount of the bad debt. For example, a $2,000 bad debt would be recorded as a debit to Bad Debt Expense for $2,000 and a credit to Account Receivable for $2,000. 2-3. Establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts operates as a contra-asset account to Accounts Receivable. This means that it is presented on the assets portion of the balance sheet. The account is used to hold money that will cover bad debts throughout the period. The amount of the allowance can be calculated in several different ways, including as a percentage of Accounts Receivable, a percentage of total sales, or through a more complex account aging schedule. For more information on estimating the allowance, see how to account for doubtful debts. 2-4. Make appropriate journal entries on books. For the allowance method, the journal entries will reflect a reduction in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account for each bad debt expense. This would be reflected as a credit to Accounts Receivable and a debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, both in the amount of the bad debt. For example, a $1,000 unpaid account balance would be recorded as a debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and a credit to Account Receivable, both for $1,000. 2-5. Present the debt on the balance sheet. Under the allowance method, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is presented as a contra-asset account under Account Receivable on the Balance Sheet. This means that under Accounts Receivable, the following line is used: "Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts." This line shows the allowance for doubtful accounts and is used to reduce Accounts Receivable to arrive at a third line, Accounts Receivable, net. As the allowance is drawn down, Accounts Receivable goes down as well, meaning that net Accounts Receivable remains the same. 3. Accounting for Business Debt Forgiveness as a Lender 3-1. Recognize which types of debt can be forgiven by direct write-off. "Debt forgiveness" is a term that is generally reserved for the write-off of long-term debts, and does not include accounts payable, commercial paper, or other short-term debts. Short-term debts should be handled using the bad debt allowance method, which predicts in advance that a portion of the debts will need to be forgiven. 3-2. Attempt to restructure the debt before writing it off. Debts should only be forgiven (written off) if the possibility of collection is impossibly low. Before proceeding with a write-off (which harms both the lender, who loses money, and the borrower, whose credit rating is damaged), reasonable efforts should be made to restructure the debt. For example, consider a company that has issued a long-term note to a customer with a face value of $10,000, an annual interest rate of 12 percent, and a length of 5 years. If the customer cannot pay the note, the company might consider allowing the customer to swap the note for one with a smaller interest rate or longer term. This would ease the burden on the customer. All actions taken to restructure debt should be recorded in the notes section of the financial statements. 3-3. Record the journal entry for the forgiveness of the debt. If the debt must be written off, an adjusting entry is required in the general journal. This entry shows a debit to Bad Debt expense and a credit to the associated receivable account. Continuing with the example above, assume the customer owes $10,120 upon the note's maturation (the face value plus the last year's interest). If the entire debt is forgiven, the lender should debit Bad Debt Expense for $10,120, credit Notes Receivable for $10,000, and credit Interest Receivable for $120. For notes issued to customers for the purchase of the lender's products, it is also appropriate to transfer the Notes Receivable balance to Accounts Receivable, where it can be handled using the allowance method. In this case, the lender would debit Accounts Receivable for $10,120, credit Notes Receivable for $10,000, and credit Interest Receivable for $120. 3-4. Recognize bad debts on financial statements. Bad debts are represented on three of the four financial statements (they are not present on the Statement of Shareholder's Equity). On the balance sheet, they are added to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, which is then subtracted from Accounts Receivable. On the income statement, they are recorded as an expense on the line item Bad Debt Expense. Finally, on the statement of cash flows, they are listed as Bad Debt Expense, which is a non-cash expense. 4. Accounting for Nonbusiness Debt Forgiveness as a Lender 4-1. Understand non business debt forgiveness reporting differences. Unlike business bad debt, non-business bad debt cannot be partially deducted. This means that only a completely worthless (uncollectible) debt may be deducted. The debt can only be considered worthless when you have taken reasonable steps to collect on it. You must be able to prove this so that the forgiven debt can be deducted. 4-2. Take the deduction in the right year. Deductions for non-business bad debt can only be taken in the year in which the debt becomes worthless. However, this does not require that the debt be actually due. An example might be if the borrower goes bankrupt or is otherwise judged unable to repay the debt before the debt comes due. 4-3. Report a short-term capital loss. Nonbusiness bad debts are recorded as short-term capital losses on IRS Form 8949. Specifically, they can be stated on part 1, line 1. Record the debtor's name and note that you have attached a statement explaining the bad debt. Other bad debts can be recorded on lower lines. You will have to complete a detailed bad debt statement and attach it to your return. 4-4. Offset capital gains. The capital loss resulting from non-business bad debt forgiveness can be used to offset capital gains. If there is still a net loss after accounting for capital gains, the remaining amount of the loss can be used to offset up to $3,000 (or $1,500 depending on your filing status) of other income. Any still-remaining losses can be carried over into following years' returns. 5. Accounting for Personal Debt Forgiveness 5-1. Determine whether your forgiven debt is taxable. For personal debt forgiveness, you will likely not need to make credit and debit entries into a ledger. However, as forgiven debts are typically taxable as income, you will need to figure out how much additional money you will owe on your taxes. Start by looking into exceptions to debt forgiveness taxation. You may not be required to pay taxes if your debts were forgiven through bankruptcy proceedings, if you are financial insolvent, or on certain farm or non-recourse loans. Examples of forgiven debt susceptible to taxation are credit card debts, mortgage debts, and student loan debts (unless your job qualifies you for an exemption). See IRS Publication 4681 for more details. 5-2. Calculate the forgiven amount. If you have a taxable forgiven debt, you will receive a Form 1099-C that details the taxable amount. This amount is typically the forgiven portion of your debt. So, if you had a $1,000 debt and only paid $500 of it, the forgiven, and taxable, portion would be $500. This amount is then added to your income for that tax year and taxed accordingly. 5-3. Find your tax burden. Your tax burden for these debts depends on your federal income tax bracket. Check the current year's tax brackets on the IRS's website or elsewhere online. For example, for 2016, a single taxpayer making $30,000 per year is in the 15 percent tax bracket. They would then calculate their tax burden for the forgiven debt using this number. So, for a $500 forgiven debt, they would owe $75 in federal taxes. 5-4. Structure your tax payments. If you had debt forgiven, odds are your financial situation is a bit rocky. Luckily, the IRS is willing to structure payments on your forgiven debt tax burden so that you can pay it off over time. For tax burdens under $10,000, you are automatically granted this option. For amounts up to $50,000, you will need to apply. Avoid scam artists and offer-in-compromise companies that will claim they can make your forgiven debt tax-free. These options are expensive and will likely not work. Tips The examples above will apply equally well when expressed in other currencies. Warnings Debt forgiveness can have a severe negative impact on the borrower's credit rating, so attempts at restructuring the debt should be exhausted to avoid this impact.

If the entire debt is forgiven, the lender should debit Bad Debt Expense for $10,120, credit Notes Receivable for $10,000, and credit Interest Receivable for $120.\\nFor notes issued to customers for the purchase of the lender's products, it is also appropriate to transfer the Notes Receivable balance to Accounts Receivable, where it can be handled using the allowance method. In this case, the lender would debit Accounts Receivable for $10,120, credit Notes Receivable for $10,000, and credit Interest Receivable for $120.\\n3-4. Recognize bad debts on financial statements.\\nBad debts are represented on three of the four financial statements (they are not present on the Statement of Shareholder's Equity). On the balance sheet, they are added to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, which is then subtracted from Accounts Receivable. On the income statement, they are recorded as an expense on the line item Bad Debt Expense. Finally, on the statement of cash flows, they are listed as Bad Debt Expense, which is a non-cash expense.\\n4. Accounting for Nonbusiness Debt Forgiveness as a Lender\\n4-1. Understand non business debt forgiveness reporting differences.\\nUnlike business bad debt, non-business bad debt cannot be partially deducted. This means that only a completely worthless (uncollectible) debt may be deducted. The debt can only be considered worthless when you have taken reasonable steps to collect on it. You must be able to prove this so that the forgiven debt can be deducted.\\n4-2. Take the deduction in the right year.\\nDeductions for non-business bad debt can only be taken in the year in which the debt becomes worthless. However, this does not require that the debt be actually due. An example might be if the borrower goes bankrupt or is otherwise judged unable to repay the debt before the debt comes due.\\n4-3. Report a short-term capital loss.\\nNonbusiness bad debts are recorded as short-term capital losses on IRS Form 8949. Specifically, they can be stated on part 1, line 1. Record the debtor's name and note that you have attached a statement explaining the bad debt. Other bad debts can be recorded on lower lines.\\nYou will have to complete a detailed bad debt statement and attach it to your return.\\n4-4. Offset capital gains.\\nThe capital loss resulting from non-business bad debt forgiveness can be used to offset capital gains. If there is still a net loss after accounting for capital gains, the remaining amount of the loss can be used to offset up to $3,000 (or $1,500 depending on your filing status) of other income. Any still-remaining losses can be carried over into following years' returns.\\n5. Accounting for Personal Debt Forgiveness\\n5-1. Determine whether your forgiven debt is taxable.\\nFor personal debt forgiveness, you will likely not need to make credit and debit entries into a ledger. However, as forgiven debts are typically taxable as income, you will need to figure out how much additional money you will owe on your taxes. Start by looking into exceptions to debt forgiveness taxation. You may not be required to pay taxes if your debts were forgiven through bankruptcy proceedings, if you are financial insolvent, or on certain farm or non-recourse loans.\\nExamples of forgiven debt susceptible to taxation are credit card debts, mortgage debts, and student loan debts (unless your job qualifies you for an exemption).\\nSee IRS Publication 4681 for more details.\\n5-2. Calculate the forgiven amount.\\nIf you have a taxable forgiven debt, you will receive a Form 1099-C that details the taxable amount. This amount is typically the forgiven portion of your debt. So, if you had a $1,000 debt and only paid $500 of it, the forgiven, and taxable, portion would be $500. This amount is then added to your income for that tax year and taxed accordingly.\\n5-3. Find your tax burden.\\nYour tax burden for these debts depends on your federal income tax bracket. Check the current year's tax brackets on the IRS's website or elsewhere online. For example, for 2016, a single taxpayer making $30,000 per year is in the 15 percent tax bracket. They would then calculate their tax burden for the forgiven debt using this number. So, for a $500 forgiven debt, they would owe $75 in federal taxes.\\n5-4. Structure your tax payments.\\nIf you had debt forgiven, odds are your financial situation is a bit rocky. Luckily, the IRS is willing to structure payments on your forgiven debt tax burden so that you can pay it off over time. For tax burdens under $10,000, you are automatically granted this option. For amounts up to $50,000, you will need to apply.\\nAvoid scam artists and offer-in-compromise companies that will claim they can make your forgiven debt tax-free. These options are expensive and will likely not work.\\nTips\\nThe examples above will apply equally well when expressed in other currencies.\\nWarnings\\nDebt forgiveness can have a severe negative impact on the borrower's credit rating, so attempts at restructuring the debt should be exhausted to avoid this impact.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Long-term debt instruments, unlike equity instruments, represent the conditions under which a borrower receives a loan, including a promise to repay it. Bonds, notes, and mortgages (the three most common types of long-term debt) all obligate the borrower to repay the lender or face potential seizure of their assets according to the loan agreement. Many times, however, borrowers are simply unable to pay. The scale of this situation can range from the consumer who cannot repay their credit card balance to the government that defaults on its national debt.

How to Account for Deferred Compensation
1. Calculate the Present Value of the Compensation 1-1. Determine the terms of the deferred compensation package. Understanding the structure of the pay package is essential to executing the proper accounting treatment. For example, consider a compensation plan issued in 2015 that will pay out a lump sum of $100,000 to an employee in 2020. 1-2. Get the interest rate used for the present value calculation. To calculate the present value, you'll need an interest rate that represents a low-risk investment. The current interest rate on treasury bonds is typically an excellent choice for a present value interest rate. For our purposes, we'll keep things simple and use an interest rate of 1 percent. 1-3. Calculate the present value of the pay plan. Because the amount will be paid out in the future, you'll need to calculate the present value of the compensation that will eventually be paid. The present value takes into account the difference between receiving money now and receiving the same amount at some point in the future. Calculate the present value using the following formula: Present Value = Compensation / ((1 + interest rate) ^ years) until compensation. So, for our purposes that means Present Value = 100,000 / (1.01 ^ 5) or $95,147. You can also use your favorite spreadsheet to calculate the present value by just plugging in the compensation amount, interest rate, and number of years into the formula. 2. Recording the Journal Entries 2-1. Set up the proper accounts. Whether you're using accounting software or an old-school ledger, you'll need to have the appropriate accounts set up. Specifically, you'll need these accounts: Deferred Compensation Expense and Deferred Compensation Liability. The Deferred Compensation Expense account operates just like any other expense account. It's a charge against your revenue that reduces your net income. The Deferred Compensation Liability account is used because you're not paying the employee right away but you owe the employee the money eventually. Effectively, it's payable. 2-2. Record the journal entries for the establishment of the deferred compensation plan. When the plan is established (in 2015), it represents a liability; that is, an obligation to pay the employee. An entry must be recorded in the general journal to reflect the establishment of the pay plan. To record the journal entry, debit Deferred Compensation Expense for $95,147 and credit Deferred Compensation Liability (a long-term liability account) for $95,147. 2-3. Adjust the value of the deferred compensation plan each year. Because the journal entry above was made using a discounted valuation, the account balances will have to be adjusted upward each year to reflect the updated present value. For example, after the first year, the new total value of the compensation plan is (100,000 / 1.01^ 4) or $96,061. The difference between this value and the initial value is ($96,061 - $95,147) or $914. To record the adjusting entry, debit Deferred Compensation Expense for $914 and credit Deferred Compensation Liability for $914. 2-4. Record the journal entry upon disbursement of cash to the employee. In 2020, the deferred compensation plan matures and the employee is paid. The journal entry is simple. Debit Deferred Compensation Liability for $100,000 (this will zero out the account balance), and credit Cash for $100,000. Taxes on the payment will be paid at this point (by both the corporation and the employee). Tips Deferred compensation is addressed in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

How to Account for Dividends Paid
1. Cash Dividends 1-1. Recognize when to record the liability of the company to pay the cash dividends. This occurs on the "date of declaration," when the board of directors formally authorizes payment of dividends. Under standard accounting procedures, expenses are recorded when they are incurred. In this case, dividend expenses are recorded because by declaring them the company is held liable to make good on the declaration and deliver the dividend. A declaration specifies when the declaration is made, when the date of record is, and when the dividend will be paid. The date of record specifies the date by which a shareholder must own stock in order to qualify for the dividend. For example, imagine your company declares a cash dividend on February 1 that will be paid to shareholders on March 1 and that the date of record is set at February 15. The liability would be recorded on February 1. 1-2. Debit the retained earnings account. Debit the retained earnings account for the total amount of the dividends that will be paid out. This will function as a decrease in this account because money that could have been retained is being paid out instead. This entry is made on the date of declaration. Continuing the previous example, imagine you company has 10,000 shares outstanding (total shares) and decides to issue a dividend of $0.50 per share. Your total debit from retained earning would be the same as the total value of the dividend payout, or $5,000 ($0.50 x $10,000). 1-3. Credit the dividends payable account. The dividends payable account recorded how much the company owes to shareholders between declaring a dividend and actually paying it. This account will be credited (increased) on the date of declaration. Like the debit to retained earnings, the amount credited will be the total value of the dividends declared. In our example, your company would credit dividends payable for $5,000 (the same amount as was debited from retained earnings). 1-4. Record the transaction on the date of payment. The only other entry needed when issuing a cash dividend is the entry on the date on which the company actually pays the cash dividend. Because this is a cash payment, you would credit the cash account (decreasing it) and debit the dividends payable account (decreasing it). This is because both transactions represent money leaving the company. Again, the value recorded will be the total value of the dividends paid. So, in our example, you would credit cash for $5,000 and also debit dividends payable for $5,000 on the date of payment, March 1. 1-5. See the big picture. When you declare and pay a dividend, the transaction will affect your company's balance sheet. At the end of the account period, you'll be left with a cash account and retained earnings account that are lowered by the amount of the dividend that you paid out. 2. Stock Dividends 2-1. Understand stock dividends. A stock dividend is another type of dividend that doesn't involve the distribution of any cash to shareholders. Rather, a stock dividend distributes additional shares of the company to shareholders, perhaps at a percentage rate to shares that they already hold. Though this will increase the total number of shares outstanding, it does not transfer more money to shareholders or away from the company. Instead, it simply dilutes the value of shares and transfers money between retained earnings and shareholder equity. 2-2. Know when to recognize a stock dividend. Just like a cash dividend, a stock dividend will be declared on a specific date and will offer a specific number of shares to be distributed. Generally, a stock dividend will be made for an increase of no more than 20-25% of current total shares outstanding. This is because anything more would be categorized differently, as a a stock split (a dilution of shares to manipulate market price). For example, your company may declare on February 1 to issue a 20% stock dividend on your 10,000 outstanding shares on March 1, the date of payment. February 1 would mark the first recording of this transaction. 2-3. Find the value of the dividend distribution. Multiply the number of shares to be distributed by the market value of each share. This amount is one of the values that you will record in the following steps and represents the total book value of the stock dividend distribution. The number of shares distributed will simply be the chosen percentage stock dividend (20% in our example) multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. In the example, this would be 10,000 x 20%, or 2,000 shares. The market value of each share used should be the value that a share of the company trades for on the declaration date. 2-4. Debit the retained earnings account. The retained earnings account should be debited (decreased) by the amount found in the last step (the market value of shares x the number of new shares). This entry should be posted on the declaration day. To continue our example, imagine that the market value of a share of your company is trading for $50 on the declaration date. Then, the amount debited from retained earnings would be $50 x 2,000, or $100,000. 2-5. Credit the common stock dividend distributable account. This account will be credited by an amount defined by the number of shares distributed times the par value of the stock. The par value here is the book value of the stock and should already be recorded in any company's books. This entry should be posted on the declaration day. Imagine that for our example the par value is $1 per share. Thus, the amount credit to the common stock dividend distributable account would be $1 x 2,000 shares, or $2,000. 2-6. Credit the paid-in capital in excess of par account. This account will be credited by an amount defined by the difference between the amount debited from retained earnings and the amount credited to common stock dividends distributable. This account represent the amount of money distributed above and beyond the par value of the stock. This entry should be posted on the declaration day. In our example, this amount would be $100,000 (the amount debited to retained earnings) minus $2,000 (the amount credited to common stock dividends distributable), or $98,000. 2-7. Record the payment of the stock dividends. On the date of payment (when the shares are distributed to shareholders), another accounting entry must be made. This is done by debiting the common stock dividends distributable account and crediting the common stock account by the same amount. This amount will be the amount previously credited to the common stock dividends distributable account. In the example, your debit and the credit amounts for this entry would be $2,000. Tips You may need to create some of these accounts if your company has not issued cash dividends or stock dividends in the past. See your accounting manager for an account list for your company. The names of these accounts may vary. You must have an equal amount of debits and credits in accounting. The value is what matters, not the number of entries.

Recognize when to record the liability of the company to pay the cash dividends.\\nThis occurs on the \\\"date of declaration,\\\" when the board of directors formally authorizes payment of dividends. Under standard accounting procedures, expenses are recorded when they are incurred. In this case, dividend expenses are recorded because by declaring them the company is held liable to make good on the declaration and deliver the dividend.\\nA declaration specifies when the declaration is made, when the date of record is, and when the dividend will be paid. The date of record specifies the date by which a shareholder must own stock in order to qualify for the dividend.\\nFor example, imagine your company declares a cash dividend on February 1 that will be paid to shareholders on March 1 and that the date of record is set at February 15. The liability would be recorded on February 1.\\n1-2. Debit the retained earnings account.\\nDebit the retained earnings account for the total amount of the dividends that will be paid out. This will function as a decrease in this account because money that could have been retained is being paid out instead. This entry is made on the date of declaration.\\nContinuing the previous example, imagine you company has 10,000 shares outstanding (total shares) and decides to issue a dividend of $0.50 per share. Your total debit from retained earning would be the same as the total value of the dividend payout, or $5,000 ($0.50 x $10,000).\\n1-3. Credit the dividends payable account.\\nThe dividends payable account recorded how much the company owes to shareholders between declaring a dividend and actually paying it. This account will be credited (increased) on the date of declaration. Like the debit to retained earnings, the amount credited will be the total value of the dividends declared.\\nIn our example, your company would credit dividends payable for $5,000 (the same amount as was debited from retained earnings).\\n1-4. Record the transaction on the date of payment.\\nThe only other entry needed when issuing a cash dividend is the entry on the date on which the company actually pays the cash dividend. Because this is a cash payment, you would credit the cash account (decreasing it) and debit the dividends payable account (decreasing it). This is because both transactions represent money leaving the company. Again, the value recorded will be the total value of the dividends paid.\\nSo, in our example, you would credit cash for $5,000 and also debit dividends payable for $5,000 on the date of payment, March 1.\\n1-5. See the big picture.\\nWhen you declare and pay a dividend, the transaction will affect your company's balance sheet. At the end of the account period, you'll be left with a cash account and retained earnings account that are lowered by the amount of the dividend that you paid out.\\n2. Stock Dividends\\n2-1. Understand stock dividends.\\nA stock dividend is another type of dividend that doesn't involve the distribution of any cash to shareholders. Rather, a stock dividend distributes additional shares of the company to shareholders, perhaps at a percentage rate to shares that they already hold.\\nThough this will increase the total number of shares outstanding, it does not transfer more money to shareholders or away from the company. Instead, it simply dilutes the value of shares and transfers money between retained earnings and shareholder equity.\\n2-2. Know when to recognize a stock dividend.\\nJust like a cash dividend, a stock dividend will be declared on a specific date and will offer a specific number of shares to be distributed. Generally, a stock dividend will be made for an increase of no more than 20-25% of current total shares outstanding. This is because anything more would be categorized differently, as a a stock split (a dilution of shares to manipulate market price).\\nFor example, your company may declare on February 1 to issue a 20% stock dividend on your 10,000 outstanding shares on March 1, the date of payment.

Accounting for Donated Assets: Recording Transactions & More
1. Determining Fair Market Value 1-1. Understand the definition of fair market value. In the case of donated assets, fair market value is defined as,"the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date," according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Basically, this means that you should record any donated assets for the value that they would fetch if you turned around and sold them immediately. This is also referred to as the "exit price." 1-2. Research the market to determine the "exit price." In the past, nonprofits depended on the donor to specify a value for the donated asset. However, modern accounting standards now require that the organization determine a value for the asset based on prices of identical or similar assets. This means that you'll have to seek out the market prices of items identical or very similar to those that have been given to your organization. Market research of prices should be based on where and to who you could actually sell the items. For example, if a donor donates one chair, you should value that chair at its market price at a furniture store. However, if a donor donates 100 chairs, you should value them at their wholesale price. The same applies to any items received in bulk. 1-3. Estimate a fair market value. If you can't find an item in the market identical to your donated asset, you can estimate it's value based on similar ones. This is mainly useful for large assets like land or buildings. Research the market to find several similar assets and use those values to estimate the value of your asset. This is allowed by GAAP but is not preferred as strongly as finding an identical asset to compare to. For example, if a donor donates a building to your organization, it's unlikely that you would be able to find an identical building to price by. In this case, research the price per square foot of similar buildings nearby or in similar locations and apply this value to your building to estimate a price. Use IRS publication 561 (Determining the Value of Donated Property) as a guideline for making your estimates. You can find the publication here: https://www.irs.gov/uac/about-publication-561 1-4. Value the asset using a donor-supplied price. If you are unable to find identical or similar assets or value the donation in any other reasonable way, it is acceptable to use the fair value given by the donor. The donor will have recorded the donation in their own books using a certain value, so simply ask them for this amount. This method is the least preferred of three valuation methods provided by GAAP, but sometimes there's no way around it. It is also advisable to have this type of item appraised by a professional appraiser if it is over $5,000 in value. 2. Figuring Out How to Record the Transaction 2-1. Determine whether the transaction is a contribution or an exchange. Accounting principles treat contributions and exchanges as different transactions and record them differently, even though we may think of both as donations. A contribution here is defined as "unconditional," meaning that the donor doesn't get anything in return for their donation. An exchange is a situation in which a donor would receive a gift in exchange for their donation. The type defined here will be important later in recording the transaction. For example, imagine a donor makes a $1000 donation to a charity concert. If they receive nothing in return, the $1000 is recorded as contribution. However, if they receive a number of tickets to the concert or other benefits, part or all of the donation should be recorded as an exchange. In this case, imagine the donor receives 50 tickets for their donation, each with a fair market value of $20. Because the value of the benefits (50 tickets x $20) is equal to the donation, this would be recorded entirely as an exchange. If, however, the donor received 25 tickets, half of the donation would be recorded as an exchange and half as a contribution. 2-2. Record the transaction properly if multiple organizations are involved. In many cases, items donated to a charity may pass through other charities or organizations on their way to the their final destination. In theory, it makes sense that every middle-man should report the items transferred through them. However, only the original recipient of the item and the "end-user" (the charity that uses the item or gives it to those in need) should record the item transaction. If you are just passing assets through to another organization, you should only record your expense in doing so, not the value of the assets themselves. The exception to this rule is if a "middle-man" organization makes a significant improvement or change to the asset. This can be anything from organizing and repackaging wholesale items to restoring furniture or other large assets. In this case, the organization doing the improvement can recognize the fair market value of the assets. 2-3. Determine whether or not to record donated services. Generally, donated services are not recorded as donated assets. This means that while you should record donations of items like toys and clothing, you wouldn't necessarily record donated services or any donated use of facilities. However, if the services meet certain conditions, they must be recorded. Specifically, these requirements are that the donated services either: Create or enhance non-financial assets (like construction services), or Require specialized skills and would usually need to be purchased if they weren't donated (like legal counsel, accounting services, or medical services). These types services will be recorded in the same way as donated assets. 3. Recording the Transaction 3-1. Know the basic recording process. In recording this transaction, use the market value obtained earlier in this process. Like any transaction, recording a donated asset requires making two entries. For a generalized donated asset transaction, use the following entries: Debit an asset account (cash, inventory, buildings, land, etc.) Credit "contribution revenue" (for a for-profit company) or "contributions" (for a nonprofit company). 3-2. Recording an exchange. If a donation is in whole or in part an exchange, like in the above example with the concert tickets, the amount that is a contribution is still recorded in the standard way. However, the amount that is an exchange should be recorded differently, depending on the type of exchange. Generally, it would be recorded the same way as a sale of whatever the donor gets in return. In the concert ticket example, the transfer of $1000 worth of tickets for the $1000 cash donation would simply be recorded as a debit to the cash account and a credit to revenues. 3-3. Record a transaction if assets are passed to another organization. If you are simply a "middle-man" organization that doesn't receive donations directly from donors or give the assets out to their intended recipients, you must record the transaction differently. In this case, you would record the expenses incurred in transporting the assets and the contributions as follows: Debit the market value amount under "Expense." Credit the market value amount under "Unrestricted Contributions." Tips Note that donated fixed assets (buildings, land, vehicles) must be depreciated just as non-donated fixed assets. Check with your accountant to determine the best depreciation method to use.

How to Account for Fixed Assets
1. Determining Acquisition Costs and Useful Life 1-1. Determine the cost of acquisition. This refers to the amount of money spent to purchase a fixed asset such as a large piece of machinery. It also includes any amounts that can be attributed directly for its improvement such as the following: Costs of delivery Costs associated with the acquisition of asset such as import duties or stamp duty Costs paid for preparation of asset installation Professional fees such as legal or architect's fees 1-2. Determine the useful life of fixed asset. Useful life refers to the time period that an asset will be useful to the business (economic life), not how long it will actually last (physical life). Factors such as the age of the asset when it was acquired, how often it is used, environmental conditions, technological advancements, and the company's repair policy can affect its useful life. Useful life refers to the period in which the asset is expected to be used that may include maintenance or repairs. It is usually less than the physical life. It can also be called economic life, average life, or effective life. For example, when you buy a large piece of new machinery the manufacturer may tell you it will last for 20 years. However, you know it will be used 24 hours a day outside and that there will probably be better technology available after 10 years. Therefore the machinery will most likely be useful to the business for only 10 years. Therefore, 10 years is its useful life. 1-3. Estimate the residual value of the fixed asset. Residual value is the worth or recoverable value of fixed asset at the end of its useful life. When estimated value is not of a significant amount, its value is assumed to be 0. Residual value is important in accounting because the book value of a fixed asset can never be depreciated to a value below residual value. You may also see this value referred to as "salvage value." For example, if you decide to replace an old piece of machinery with a new one, someone else may want to buy the old one. Its residual value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller, or you could look up ads for what similar pieces of used equipment are selling for on the market. 2. Depreciating and Amortizing a Fixed Asset 2-1. Decide if you can expense an asset. To expense an assets means to immediately write it off (deduct it) as a business purchase. Direct expenses are short-term business expenditures and purchases that your company can write off immediately. These can include rent payments, purchases of raw materials that will be used in manufacturing a product, low cost computer equipment (usually less than $1,000) and office supplies. Some additional assets, like qualifying real estate properties, may also be expensed under IRS Section 179. This is only applicable to the types of assets currently defined under the law. For more information, see the IRS's website at https://www.irs.gov/publications/p946/ch02.html. Before expensing a valuable asset, consider the affect that the additional expenses will have on your earnings for the period. Compare these to the earnings impact if you decided to depreciate the asset instead. 2-2. Decide to depreciate or amortize. Allocate the costs of fixed assets over their estimated useful life by using depreciation or amortization methods. Depreciation is the loss or decrease in value of tangible assets while amortization measures the decline in value of intangible assets over a period of time. Tangible assets that you would depreciate must have a useful life over 1 year. They include equipment, buildings and land. If a piece of equipment has a useful life of 10 years and you purchased it for $50,000, you can depreciate it by $5,000 per year using the straight line depreciation method. ($50,000/10 = $5,000) Intangible assets that you would amortize include patents, copyrights and goodwill. Goodwill refers to what you expect to gain in revenue due to your continued use of the name of a business or a product you purchase. Amortization is measured by dividing the cost of the fixed asset by its useful life. For example, you might purchase a patent for $20,000 from another company. The patent has a useful life of 10 years. You would amortize this by $2,000 per year using the straight line method. ($20,000 / 10 =$2,000) 2-3. Choose a depreciation method. The most common method used for depreciation is the straight-line method. It is calculated by dividing the purchase price of a fixed asset and dividing it by its useful life. The result is then subtracted from the value of the asset at the end of each year and recorded as depreciation expense. For example, $50,000 purchase price/10 years useful life = $5,000. That would mean that the value of the asset at the beginning of year 2 would be reported as $45,000 ($50,000 - $5,000). $5,000 in depreciation expense for the asset would be recorded in year 1. Other methods of depreciation can be used such as sum-of-the-years-digits method, declining balance method, and units-of-production method. 2-4. Consider the sum-of-the-years-digits-method (SYD). This is used if an asset depreciates faster in the earlier years than it does as it gets older. For example, a car would depreciate more in the earlier years of ownership. The formula to use is SYD = n(n + 1)/2 where n = estimated useful life. If the useful life is 5 years, the SYD is 15. Then take the number of years of estimated life remaining at the beginning of each year and divide by the SYD of 15. For example, 5/15, 4/15, 3/15, 2/15 and 1/15. Apply these percentages to the value of the fixed asset each year to determine the depreciation amount. 5/15 = 33.33% or .3333. If the value at year 1 is $90,000, multiply this by .3333 = $29,997 depreciation. For year 2, again use the value of $90,000 for the asset. 4/15 = 26.66% or .2666. $90,000 x .2666 = $23,994 depreciation for year 2. Continue this pattern for years 3, 2 and 1. 2-5. Consider the declining balance method. This is used when an asset is depreciated even faster in the earlier years than you would use for the sum-of-the-years method. Large computer equipment where the technology frequently goes out of date would be an example of when you would use the declining balance method. To calculate, let's say a piece of equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Divide 1 by the number of years of useful life, 1/10 = .1. Next multiply this rate by 2 to get 0.2. Apply this rate to the declining book value of the machinery. This is referred to as "double-declining balance depreciation." For example, for an asset worth $100,000 with a useful life of 10 years, you would calculate depreciation in the first year by multiplying the value by the declining balance multiple, which is 0.2, to get $20,000. So, the depreciation expense in the first year is $20,000 and the value of the asset in year 2 is $80,000. This continues in year 2 the same way. Multiply the current value, $80,000, by 0.2 to get the new depreciation expense, $16,000. Deduct this expense and get the asset starting value for year 3, $64,000. 2-6. Consider the units of production method. This is based on the number of parts produced by the asset rather than a period of time. In a year when many units are produced the depreciation amount will be higher. To calculate, let's say a piece of machinery has a value of $60,000 and is projected to produce 10,000 units over its useful life. First, find the depreciation per unit by dividing $60,000 by10,000, totaling $6 per unit. Then determine the depreciation expense for a specific period of time based on how many units were produced. If 2,000 units were produced, multiply this by the per unit depreciation amount = 2,000 * $6 = $12,000 depreciation expense. 3. Reporting Fixed Asset Values 3-1. Record the values of intangible and tangible fixed assets. These will be entered in the company's balance sheet under the category "non-current assets" or "fixed assets" at the end of an accounting cycle. An accounting cycle can be monthly, quarterly or annually. 3-2. Keep all backup documentation. This can include invoices, depreciation logs, maintenance reports, professional fees related to the asset, etc. Records should be kept for seven years and will be needed for future audits. 3-3. Document all internal controls. This includes written policies and procedures for acquiring assets, determining their value, depreciation methods and the name of the positions of people that are responsible (general accounting manager, accounts payable manager, chief financial officer, etc.) These will also be needed for an audit. Tips Administrative cost and overhead cost are not included when determining the cost of fixed assets. Be as accurate as you can when keeping records of fixed asset. During an audit, records of fixed assets and internal controls will be reviewed by an external auditor. To save time and money, you can use fixed asset software that automatically monitors the company's fixed assets. It has features such as asset tracking, bar coding, managing maintenance and replacements, depreciation, and purchasing.

Apply these percentages to the value of the fixed asset each year to determine the depreciation amount.\\n5/15 = 33.33% or .3333. If the value at year 1 is $90,000, multiply this by .3333 = $29,997 depreciation.\\nFor year 2, again use the value of $90,000 for the asset. 4/15 = 26.66% or .2666. $90,000 x .2666 = $23,994 depreciation for year 2.

How to Account for Forward Contracts
1. Accounting for Forward Contracts 1-1. Recognize a forward contract. This is a contract between a seller and a buyer. The seller agrees to sell a commodity in the future at a price upon which they agree today. The seller agrees to deliver this asset in the future, and the buyer agrees to purchase the asset in the future. No physical exchange takes place until the specified future date. This contract must be accounted for now, when it is signed, and again on the date when the physical exchange takes place. For example, suppose a seller agrees to sell grain to a buyer in 3 months for $12,000, but the current value of the grain is only $10,000. In one year, when the exchange takes place, the market value of the grain is $11,000, so in the end, the seller makes a profit of $1,000 on the sale. The spot rate, or current value, of the grain is $10,000. The forward rate, or future value, of the grain is $12,000. 1-2. Record a forward contract on the contract date on the balance sheet from the seller’s perspective. On the liability side of the equation, you would credit the Asset Obligation for the spot rate. Then, on the asset side of the equation, you would debit the Asset Receivable for the forward rate. Finally, debit or credit the Contra-Asset Account for the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate. You would debit, or decrease the Contra Asset Account for a discount and credit, or increase it for a premium. Using the example above, the seller would credit the Asset Obligation account for $10,000. He has made a commitment to sell his grain today, and today it is worth $10,000. But, he is going to receive $12,000 for the grain. So he debits Assets Receivable for $12,000. This is what he’s going to be paid. To account for the $2,000 premium, he credits the Contra-Asset Account for $2,000. 1-3. Record a forward contract on the contract date on the balance sheet from the buyer’s perspective. On the liability side of the equation, you would credit Contracts Payable in the amount of the forward rate. Then you would record the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate as a debit or credit to the Contra-Assets Account. On the asset side of the equation, you would debit Assets Receivable for the spot rate. Using the example above, the buyer would credit Contracts Payable in the amount of $12,000. Then he would debit the Contra-Assets Account for $2,000 to account for the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate. Then he would debit Assets Receivable for $10,000. 1-4. Record a forward contract on the balance sheet from the seller’s perspective on the date the commodity is exchanged. First, you close out your asset and liability accounts. On the liability side, debit Asset Obligations by the spot value on the contract date. On the asset side, credit Contracts Receivable by the forward rate, and debit or credit the Contra-Assets account by the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate. Using the above example, on the liability side you would debit Asset Obligations by $10,000. On the asset side, you would credit Contracts Receivable by $12,000/ Then you would debit the Contra-Asset account by $2,000, the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate. 1-5. Recognize any gain or loss on the commodity sold from the seller’s perspective. Determine the current market value of the commodity. This is its value on the date of the physical exchange between the buyer and seller. Next, debit, or increase, your cash account by the forward rate. Then credit, or decrease, your Asset account by the current market value of the commodity. Finally, recognize the gain or loss, which is the difference between the forward rate and the current market value, with a debit or credit on the Asset Account. In the example above the current market value of the grain on the date of the physical exchange is $11,000. First, the seller must increase cash based on the contracted amount, so he would debit cash by $12,000. Next he must reduce the Asset account by the current market value by recording a credit of $11,000. Then, to recognize the gain of $1,000 (which is the current value, $11,000, less the spot rate, $10,000), he would record a credit on the Asset Account of $1,000. 1-6. Record a forward contract on the balance sheet from the buyer’s perspective on the date the commodity is exchanged. First, you close out your asset and liability accounts. On the liability side, debit Contracts Payable by the forward rate, and debit or credit the Contra-Assets account by the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate. On the asset side, credit Assets Receivable by the spot rate on the date of the contract. Using the example above, on the liability side, the buyer would debit Contracts Payable by $12,000 and credit the Contra-Asset Account by $2,000. On the asset side, he would credit Assets Receivable by $10,000. 1-7. Recognize any gain or loss on the commodity sold from the buyer’s perspective. Decrease, or credit the Cash account by the amount of the forward rate. Then, record the difference between the forward rate and the current market value as an additional credit or debit to the Cash account. Finally, increase, or debit, the Asset account by the current market value of the commodity. In the above example, the buyer would debit Cash by $12,000. The difference between the market value, $11,000, and the forward rate $12,000, is $1,000. They buyer lost $1,000, so he would record a debit to Cash of $1,000. Next, he would debit the Asset account by $11,000. 2. Understanding Forward Contracts 2-1. Understand the definition of a forward contract. A forward contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller to deliver a commodity on a future date for a specified price. The value of the commodity on that future date is calculated using rational assumptions about rates of exchange. Farmers use forward contracts to eliminate risk for falling grain prices. Forward contracts are also used in transactions using foreign exchange in an effort to reduce the risk of losses due to changes in the exchange rates. 2-2. Learn the meaning of derivatives. A derivative is a security with a price that is based upon, or derived, from something else. Forward contracts are considered derivative financial instruments because the future value of the commodity is derived from other information about the commodity. The future value of the commodity for the forward contract is derived from the current market value, or spot price, and the risk-free rate of return. 2-3. Learn the meaning of hedging. In investing, hedging means minimizing risk. In forward contracts, buyers and sellers attempt to minimize risk of losses by locking in prices for commodities in advance. Buyers lock in a price in hopes that they will end up paying less than the current market value of a commodity. Sellers hedge their risks with forward contracts in an attempt to protect themselves from falling prices. 3. Negotiating a Forward Contract 3-1. Know the difference between the long position and the short position. The party agreeing to purchase the commodity assumes the long position. The party agreeing to sell the commodity is assuming the short position. The buyer, who is in the long position, is the person who stands to benefit if the price of the commodity rises higher than expected. The seller, who is in the short position, stands to lose if the price of the commodity rises. 3-2. Know the difference between the spot value and the forward value. The spot value and the forward value are both quotes for the rate at which the commodity will be bought or sold. The difference between the two has to do with the timing of the settlement and delivery of the commodity. Both parties in a forward contract need to know both values in order to accurately account for the forward contract. The spot rate is the current market value for the asset in question. It is the value of the commodity if it were sold today. For example, a farmer selling grain for the spot value agrees to sell it immediately for the current price. The forward rate is the agreed-upon future price in the contract. For example, suppose the farmer in the above example wants to enter into a forward contract in an effort to hedge against falling grain prices. He can agree to sell his grain to another party in six months at agreed-upon forward rate. When the time comes to sell, the grain will be sold for the agreed-upon forward rate, despite fluctuations that occur in the spot rate during the intervening six months. 3-3. Understand the relationship between the spot value and the forward value. The spot rate can be used to determine the forward rate. This is because a commodity’s future value is based in part on its current value. The other factor that is used to determine the forward value is the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is the rate at which the commodity is expected to change in value with zero risk. It is usually based on the current interest rate of a three-month U.S. Treasury bill, which is considered the safest investment you can make.

1. Understanding Goodwill 1-1. Recognize the difference between tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is considered an intangible asset. Unlike tangible assets, which are physical assets such as property, machinery, or vehicles, an intangible asset is an asset that cannot be touched. These would traditionally include things like brand names, copyrights, patents, or trademarks. From an accounting perspective, both tangible and intangible assets are recorded on the balance sheet, since both types of assets have value. 1-2. Calculate the book value of a company. Understanding goodwill requires an understanding of book value. Book value is the tangible assets of a business minus its liabilities (also known as its debt and its intangible assets). It is called book value because this is the value of the business that is being carried on the balance sheet. For example, assume there is a business with tangible assets of $2 million, intangible assets of $500 thousand, and liabilities of $1 million. This would mean the book value is equal to $1 million ($2 million of tangible assets minus $1 million of liabilities). The value of business's assets are equal to the cost that was originally paid for them. Note that the book value of the business is not necessarily equal to the market value (also known as fair value) of the business, or what the market would be willing to pay. For example, the above business has a book value of $1 million, but the market may be willing to pay $3 million. 1-3. Learn the definition of goodwill. When a business is purchased, goodwill is equal to the amount the purchase price is above the book value of the business. For example, pretend Company A wants to buy Company B for $1 million. Assume the book value of Company B is $500,000. Since goodwill is equal to the amount the purchase exceeds the book value, the goodwill in this case would equal $500,000. Goodwill can exist for many reasons. A business may be willing to pay more than the book value because the business in question may have great profit margins, exceptional future profit growth prospects, or a major competitive advantage. 2. Accounting for Goodwill 2-1. Determine the fair value of the company's assets. As mentioned earlier, the book value of a business does not always equal the market value (the fair value, or, the estimated value that someone in the market would pay for the business). The first step is to take the book value of the business (or the assets minus the liabilities), and figure out what the market value of those net assets are. For example, the book value of the business being purchased may be $1 million. However, due to recent strong market conditions, the market value may be slightly higher, at $1.5 million. This means people would pay $1.5 million for those $1 million in assets. Calculating market value is usually fairly complex and requires plenty of background knowledge, and as a result, the fair value of a business is usually calculated by a certified professional, such an accountant, financial analyst, or appraiser. Typically, figuring out market value will involve looking at what other similar assets or businesses are selling for. One approach is to average the value of similar businesses being sold, and then price the value of the business being purchased above or below the average depending on the quality of the business. The term "market value" is interchangeable with "fair value" for the purpose of this article. 2-2. Add together the values of all acquired assets. Once the fair value of assets has been determined, you can add them together. For example, assume the business being purchased has $200,000 in property, plant, and equipment, $500,000 in cash, and $800,000 in inventory. The fair value of the business's assets would therefore be $1.5 million. 2-3. Subtract the business's liabilities from the assets. If the business has liabilities of $500,000, subtracting this from the business's assets of $1.5 million means the fair value of the company's assets is $1 million. This simply means that if you subtract the business's assets from their liabilities to get a book value, and you determine what the market would pay in theory for those assets, the result in this case would be $1 million. 2-4. Subtract the book value from the purchase price to calculate Goodwill. Goodwill is defined as the price paid in excess of the firm's fair value. To calculate it, simply subtract the total asset market value amount from the purchase price; this amount is nearly always a positive number. For example, consider a firm that acquires another firm for $1,000,000. If the book value of the acquired firm totals $800,000, then the amount of goodwill realized is (1,000,000 - 800,000) or $200,000. 2-5. Record the journal entry to recognize the acquisition. Once the amount of Goodwill is determined, open whatever accounting software you use to enter the appropriate general entries. Continuing with the above example, the firm would credit the acquired asset account for $800,000, credit Goodwill for $200,000, and debit the Cash account for $1,000,000. Goodwill is an intangible asset account on the balance sheet. This series of entries adds the $800,000 in assets to the books, adds the $200,000 in Goodwill, and subtracts $1 million in cash from the books to reflect cash leaving to fund the purchase. 2-6. Test the goodwill account for impairment each year. Each year, Goodwill needs to be tested for something known as impairment. Impairment occurs when something bad happens to a business, which causes the market value of it's assets to decline below the book value. When this happens, Goodwill needs to be reduced by the amount the market value falls below the book value. For example, assume you made a purchase for $1.5 million, where $500,000 is Goodwill, and the book value of the assets are $1 million. If sales drop dramatically, those $1 million of assets will not have a market value of $1 million anymore. If the market value drops to $800,000, would would need to reduce Goodwill by $200,000 to reflect the drop in the value of the assets. 2-7. Record the journal entry to recognize any goodwill impairment. If the goodwill account needs to be impaired, an entry is needed in the general journal. To record the entry, credit Loss on Impairment for the impairment amount and debit Goodwill for the same amount. This accounts for a reduction in Goodwill by using Loss on Impairment as a contra-asset account. Tips The sample calculations above will also work when expressed in other currencies. The treatment of goodwill is covered under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141 and 142. These statements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

How to Account for Goodwill Impairment
1. Understanding Goodwill Impairment 1-1. Learn the definition of goodwill. Understanding goodwill impairment is impossible without understanding goodwill. Goodwill is something that occurs when one business purchases another business for more than the fair market value of that business. In other words, accountants would determine what the business should be worth on the open market (or the fair market value), and if the business is purchased for more than this value, goodwill is created. For example, assume Company A has a fair market value of $1 million. Company B decides to pay $2 million to buy company A. In doing so, Company B pays $1 million more than the fair market value of Company A, and therefore, $1 million in goodwill is created (purchase price of $2 million minus fair market value of $1 million). Why is company B willing to pay $1 million more than Company A is worth? There are a variety of reasons. Company A may have excellent growth prospects, strong profit margins, a competitive edge, or be an excellent fit with Company B's current business model. After the purchase, Company B would show $1 million in goodwill on its balance sheet, and $1 million indicating the value of the business. 1-2. Calculate carrying value (also known as book value) of a business. Recall that goodwill is created when you pay more than for a company than what the company's assets are actually worth. What the company's assets are actually worth is known as the carrying value. It is known as carrying value because this is the value of the business that is "carried" on the balance sheet. The carrying value of a business is equal to the cost that was originally paid for the business's assets, minus its debts. For example, if a business originally paid $2 million for its assets, and it has debts of $1 million, its carrying value would be $1 million. Sometimes the carrying value of a company will be worth less than its fair market value, or what the market is willing to pay for it. Recall that goodwill is equal to the purchase price of a business minus the fair market value. For example, assume the carrying value of a company is $1 million and accountants determine the fair market value is $1.5 million. If somebody is willing to pay $2 million, the goodwill created would be $500,000, or $2 million minus $1.5 million. 1-3. Understand Goodwill Impairment. Each year, it is required that you test Goodwill for something known as impairment. Over time, the value of your business may fluctuate with market conditions, or with the performance of your business. Sometimes, poor market conditions or performance could mean that the market value will decrease below the carrying value recorded on the balance sheet. If this happens, it is necessary to decrease, or impair, the goodwill on the balance sheet to reflect the decrease in value. For example, assume you purchased a business for $2 million. Both the carrying value and fair market value in this case are $1 million, but it was decided for various reasons that you would pay $2 million due to strong advantages the business has. In this case, $1 million in goodwill is created If a new competitor appears in the market that strongly reduces the business's sales, your business would be worth less if you tried to sell it. If the value of your business falls so that it is worth less than the carrying value (in this case, $1 million), it is necessary to reduce the goodwill by the difference between what the business is now worth, and what it is recorded as being worth on your balance sheet. For example, assume the balance sheet indicates a carrying value of $1 million, plus $1 million in Goodwill. If something bad happens to your business and it is now only worth $500,000 on the open market, you would need to reduce, or impair the goodwill by $500,000. 2. Accounting for Goodwill Impairment 2-1. Determine the reporting unit in question. Goodwill impairment is performed on a "reporting unit" basis. A reporting unit is a segment of the business that is autonomous enough to provide discrete financial information. For example, consider a firm called Vet Corporation that purchases veterinary practices in the hopes of increasing each practice's profits due to centralized management. Each practice the firm buys would be considered a reporting unit. In this case, perhaps Vet Corporation has purchased 10 veterinary practices. Each practice would be a separate reporting unit. This means that each practice would have its own carrying value, and own unique value in the market place if Vet Corporation ever decided to sell it. 2-2. Estimate the fair market value of each reporting unit annually. Pretend that Vet Corporation recently purchased the veterinary practice of Dr. Brown. You must determine what this practice is now worth on the open market, so you can compare it to the carrying value to determine if impairment is necessary. Calculating what a business should be worth on the open market is complex, and therefore you should enlist the assistance of a chartered accountant or financial analyst. You can get a rough idea on your own by looking at the price that similar transactions have gone for in the market. You can also look at historical data to assume what average prices are. For example, if a similar vet practice recently sold for 10 times its annual profits, you can assume yours would sell for a similar price. Assume, for example, that it was determined the market value of Dr. Brown's practice was worth $800,000. 2-3. Compare the market value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The carrying value of the unit in this case is the value of the company's assets (or the value they were purchased for), minus any debts. Assume the carrying value of Dr. Brown's practice is $900,000. This means if you look on your balance sheet, you would see a carrying value of $900,000. This may mean assets of $1 million, minus debts of $100,000, for example. If the market value is higher than the carrying value, you can conclude that no goodwill impairment is necessary. If the market value is lower than the carrying value, you must proceed to the next step of the impairment test - determining the cause of this difference. In this example, the market value is lower than the carrying value by $100,000. 2-4. Record the journal entry to recognize the goodwill impairment. Open whatever accounting software you are using to make the appropriate journal entries for the impairment. In this example, goodwill must be impaired by $100,000. To record the journal entry, Vet Corporation should debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment for $100,000, and credit Goodwill for $100,000. This transaction does two things. First, by crediting goodwill, the goodwill account is reduced by $100,000. This reflects the fact that the business is now worth $100,000 less than is recorded, so the goodwill asset account is reduced by this amount to account for the difference. By debiting Loss on Goodwill Impairment, you are recording the fact that a loss of $100,000 has occurred, which will appear on the income statement as an expense. This is because accounting rules require that any loss of goodwill not only reduce the amount of goodwill on the balance sheet, but also be recorded as an expense on the income statement. This means your profits would be $100,000 less for the year. Tips Goodwill can only be impaired downwards; its value cannot be increased except through new acquisitions. The example calculations above will also work when expressed in other currencies.

How to Account for Negative Goodwill
1. Determining Fair Value 1-1. Understand how fair value is found. Fair value represents the price that could be gained from the sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability at the present date in the open market. Essentially, fair value represents how much you could actually get for an asset if you sold it. This distinguishes it from book value, which is based on depreciation and other calculations. Fair value can be calculated by comparing the assets to similar assets available in the market. For more on determining fair value, see how to calculate asset market value. 1-2. Calculate fair value for net current assets. Net current assets represents the value of all current assets (like cash, inventory, and accounts receivable) minus all current liabilities (short-term debts). This is also called working capital. Use the fair value principle explained above to value these assets. Inventory fair value may be more or less than book value. This depends on numerous factors, from production input prices to inventory turnover rate. A low inventory fair value is common in bargain purchases. 1-3. Find fair value for net fixed assets. Net fixed assets are calculated as the value of the company's fixed assets (production equipment, buildings, land) minus accumulated depreciation and long-term liabilities (loans on fixed assets). This also includes any improvements made to fixed assets. Again, fair value may be calculated using approximate, comparable fixed assets on the market. 1-4. Estimate fair value for identifiable intangible assets. In addition to tangible assets, some intangible assets are identified and valued during the purchase process. These include items of a contractual or legal nature, like patents or customer relationships, and are also valued using fair value principles. These, however, are much harder to value than tangible assets. The valuation of these assets is best left to experienced accountants and valuation specialists. These intangible assets can include: Unique technologies Brand names Licenses Workforce ability Agreements with customers or competitors Usage rights (such as EM spectrum rights) 2. Calculating Negative Goodwill 2-1. Know how goodwill is calculated. Goodwill is simply the difference between the purchase price of the company and the fair value of its assets, both tangible and intangible. When the purchase price is higher than the asset value, there is positive goodwill; when it is lower, there is negative goodwill. Negative goodwill represents a "discount" on the company. 2-2. Sum up net tangible assets. Add up the net fair value of all of the company's tangible assets, including current and fixed assets. Remember that any liabilities present must be subtracted from this value. For example, imagine that the company has $5 million in net current assets and $10 million in net fixed assets. Add these two together to get a total of $15 million. 2-3. Add identifiable intangible assets. Total up the fair value of any intangible assets identified in the purchase process. These include the value of any patents, licenses, and agreements, as well as the perceived value of the company's brand name. Add this value to net tangible assets to get the total fair value of the company's assets. For example, if the assessed value of the same company's intangible assets comes to $20 million, including $6 million in patents and $14 million in the brand name, add this figure to total tangible asset value to get $35 million ($15 million + $20 million) in total asset value. 2-4. Subtract total asset value from the purchase price. Take the total fair value of the company's assets found in the last step and subtract it from the purchase price of the company. The result, assuming the purchase price was lower than the asset value, will be negative goodwill. If the purchase price for the same company is $30 million, subtract the value of the company's assets, $35 million, from this number to get goodwill. So, the negative goodwill in this case is $30 million - $35 million, or $-5 million. Even when the goodwill is negative, it is still listed simply as "goodwill" on the balance sheet. It is listed as negative number though. 3. Making Accounting Entries 3-1. Compare the fair value of acquired allocation assets to the value of negative goodwill. Allocation assets are broadly defined as non-current assets obtained by the purchaser in an acquisition. These include plant, property, equipment, intangibles, and other non-current and non-monetary assets. Total the fair market values of these assets and compare it to your calculated negative goodwill value. Whether negative goodwill is more than, equal to, or less than the allocated asset value will determine how the negative goodwill will be accounted for in the acquirer's books. 3-2. Record a reduction in allocation asset value. If the negative goodwill value is equal to or less than the value of allocated assets, the allocated asset value is reduced by the complete amount of the negative goodwill. The transaction is recorded as first as a debit to fair value of assets acquired for the value of net assets acquired plus the negative goodwill value, a credit to total consideration paid for the cost of acquiring the company, and a credit to initial negative goodwill for the value of the negative goodwill. Then, an entry is made to adjust the allocation assets by debiting initial negative goodwill for the full amount of negative goodwill and crediting allocation assets (or property, plants, equipments, and intangible assets) for the same value. For example, imagine that a company whose net assets are valued at $20 million is acquired for $15 million. The negative goodwill here is $5 million. The value of allocation assets is calculated at $6 million. First, debit fair value of net assets acquired for $20 million, credit consideration paid for $15 million, and credit initial negative goodwill for $5 million. Then, debit initial negative goodwill for $5 million and property, plant, equipment, and intangibles for $5 million. The result of this is that no negative goodwill is recognized on the balance sheet or income statement of the purchaser. 3-3. Calculate residual negative goodwill. If the value of the negative goodwill is larger than the value of allocation assets, the purchaser will have to reduce the allocation asset value to zero and then recognize the value of the residual negative goodwill. The accounting entries for this situation are similar to those in the first case, with one exception. The initial negative goodwill is still reduced by its full value, but the property, plant, equipment, and intangibles account is reduced by its full value, with the leftover being credited to residual negative goodwill (extraordinary gain). Imagine that in the previous example, the value of the allocation assets was instead $4 million. You would still perform the first set of entries (net assets acquired, initial negative goodwill, and consideration paid) in the same way, but in the second, you would debit initial goodwill for $5 million, credit plant, property, equipment, and intangibles for $4 million, and credit residual negative goodwill (extraordinary gain) for the difference, $1 million. 3-4. Recognize residual negative goodwill. If there are no allocation assets, you should record all of the negative goodwill as an extraordinary gain. In this case, there is no need to allocate an initial negative goodwill amount. For this case or for the case of residual negative goodwill, the extraordinary gain should be reported as a separate item on the purchaser's income statement. The extraordinary gain should be recorded as an increase to net income. 4. Handling a Bargain Acquisition 4-1. Look for bargain purchase warning signs. Any transaction that results in negative goodwill should have a reason behind that result. That is, companies aren't sold for a discount unless they have fallen on hard times. Be sure to assess whether or not this is the case if your calculations for goodwill give you a negative number. If not, your assessments for fair value may have been too high. In general, companies sold for a discount show one or more of the following signs: Recent financial hardship Lack of potential buyers The business was sold quickly The seller was forced to sell Uninformed seller (about market trends, growth projects, etc.) 4-2. Identify that there will be negative goodwill. If you are appraising a company for sale, ask the seller if they expect that the company will be sold at a discount. Having the knowledge that a company will likely be sold at a discount can make other decisions, like certain aspects of determining fair market value, much easier during the appraisal process. Again, make sure that there is an accompanying reason that the company is being sold this way. 4-3. Communicate with all parties. If you determine that negative goodwill is likely, inform both the buyer and seller immediately. You should also contact any other appraisers or auditors working on the deal so that the valuation can run smoothly. 4-4. Evaluate differences in the rates of return. The calculated internal rate of return (IRR) and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) are often misaligned in a bargain purchase. Most of this has to do with the fact that the IRR is calculated using the purchase price, while the WACC is not. These differences can result in different valuations for the company and its assets. Identify why these rates are different and assess whether or not you can justify why this is so. In some cases, a separate valuation of the company may be necessary. Tips In the U.S. treatment of goodwill is covered under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141 and 142. These statements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

How to Account for Prepaid Expenses
1. Understanding Pre-Paid Expenses 1-1. Familiarize yourself with accrual-based accounting. In order to understand the accounting for pre-paid expenses, it is important to understand the basic principle of accrual-based accounting. Quite simply, in accrual-based accounting, revenues are reported on the income statement when they are earned, not when the cash is received. For example, if you provide a service worth $1,000 in June, and do not receive the cash for the service until August, the income will be reported on the income statement as $1,000 of revenues in June. In August, the income statement would show no revenues (assuming there were no other revenues from the business). This is because you earned the revenues in June. This differs from cash-based accounting, whereby the revenues are recorded when the cash itself is provided, not when the revenues are earned. 1-2. Learn the definition of pre-paid expenses. A pre-paid expense is simply a future expense that is paid for in advance. Typically, it involves an expenditure during one accounting period, followed by the consumption of whatever the pre-payment was for, over multiple periods. Common examples of pre-paid expenses include insurance premiums, rent, and any business contracts that require payment in advance. For example, with insurance, you may pay your premium six months in advance (which is common). Then, over a period of six months, that premium will be "used". 1-3. Familiarize yourself with the link between accrual accounting and pre-paid expenses. Accrual accounting requires that revenues be recognized in the period for which they are earned (not when cash is received), and the same principle applies to expenses. Expenses, in the same way, are not recognized when cash is paid out (or when the pre-paid expense is paid for), and are rather recognized over time as the thing that was pre-paid is used. As an example, if you are paying rent six months in advance, the pre-paid expense would not be recorded in the month when you send the check to the landlord. Rather, the expense would be recorded over the six month period as the expense is "used up". In this case, every month for the six month period, one sixth of the total rent amount will appear on the income statement. Something known as the matching principle is what governs the treatment of prepaid expenses. This principle dictates that expenses should be recorded when the associated goods or services have been used, not when they are paid for, so that the expense matches the revenues that the expense helped to earn. 2. Accounting for Pre-Paid Expenses 2-1. Understand the basic accounting process for pre-paid expenses. The basic process of accounting for pre-paid expenses involves placing the pre-paid expense on the balance sheet as an asset when the expense is paid, and then gradually charging it as an expense over the period it is being used. This means that if you prepay $12,000 worth of rent for 1 year on January 1st, it would first be placed on the balance sheet as an asset. Then, over the course of the year, it would gradually be charged as an expense, reducing the asset balance as time goes on. At the end of January, for example, the asset account would reduce by $1,000 (reflecting 1/12th of the yearly payment being used), and the expense account on the income statement would increase by $1,000. Why are pre-paid expenses initially placed on the balance sheet as an asset? This is because the company now has the right to receive the good or service, in this case, rent. Because the pre-paid expense has value ($12,000) it is considered to be an asset. 2-2. Record the journal entry for making the pre-paid expense payment. The first step begins when you pay out the cash for the pre-paid expense. There must be an entry in the general journal to reflect this activity. For example, consider a firm that pays $12,000 for a year's worth of insurance coverage on January 1. To do this, open whatever accounting software you are using, and select (or create) the prepaid insurance account. You can then debit this account for $12,000, and credit the cash account for $12,000 Since prepaid insurance is an asset account, the above entries would essentially add $12,000 to assets, and subtract $12,000 from cash. Asset balance is unaffected as the initial transaction if from one asset account to another. 2-3. Record the journal entry to expense the prepaid asset. At the end of each accounting period, the portion of the prepaid asset that has been used should be expensed to the income statement. In the example above, assume that the company releases financial statements quarterly. On March 31, the end of the first quarter, a fourth of the prepaid insurance needs to be expensed. To record the journal entry, debit Insurance Expense for $3,000 and credit Prepaid Insurance for $3,000. The entry above reduces the account balance of Prepaid Insurance, and moves that balance to the income statement as an expense. This is because 3 months' worth of the insurance coverage has now been provided by the insurer and can be recognized as an expense. 2-4. Expense the prepaid asset until the end of its life. Make the journal entry above at the end of each accounting period until the account balance of Prepaid Insurance is 0. If the firm uses the year as its accounting period, only 1 journal entry will be needed to record the expense, which should be recorded on December 31. For example, if the accounting period is quarterly, for the $12,000 pre-payment, each quarter would see $3,000 move from the Prepaid Insurance asset account, to the Insurance Expense account. After quarter 1, the Prepaid Insurance account would have a value of $9,000, and by the end of the fourth quarter, the Prepaid Insurance account would have a balance of 0. This concludes the process of accounting for a pre-paid expense, since the expense was gradually used up over the course of the year. Tips The example calculations above will also apply when expressed in other currencies.

How to Account for Rent Free Periods
1. Understanding Accounting Concepts 1-1. Know how to use dual-entry accounting Dual-entry (also called double entry) accounting is a fundamental process of modern bookkeeping. It makes sure that every transaction is recorded in the two (or more) accounts that it affects. In addition, it ensures that the sum of these entries is $0 under the equation Assets=Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity. An understanding of dual-entry accounting is essential to accounting for rent-free periods properly. For example, a simple cash sale would be recorded as a debit to the cash account (an asset account) and an equal credit to revenue (an equity account). If the item sold is a product, there would also be a credit to Inventory and a debit to the Cost of Goods Sold account. 1-2. Understand the amortization process. Amortization is a way of spreading the cost of an intangible asset across the life of that asset. It works much like depreciation does for tangible assets. The cost of the asset is split up evenly over the life of that asset and that amount is recorded as an expense each year. Amortization allows a business owner to spread the cost of an asset out so that the revenue produced by the asset and the cost of the asset are recorded at the same time. 1-3. Familiarize yourself with the principle underlying the treatment of free rent periods. A free rent period is a type of lease incentive that has a discrete cash value. For example, 2 months of free rent in a $1000/month space has a value of $2000. Any lease incentive of this type must be amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. This is done by either deferring or accruing rent expenses and revenues as appropriate. 1-4. Make sure that the needed accounts are set up. By offering or entering into this type of agreement, both the lessor and lessee will need accounts specific to recording this type of transaction. On the lessor's side, they will need a Rent Revenue account (which they likely already have) and a rent receivable account for recording the rent going unpaid during the rent-free period and then record payments during the subsequent rent period. The lessee would need two similar but opposite accounts: Rent Expense and Rent Payable. 2. Determining Lease Amounts 2-1. Make sure you understand the terms of the lease. Before making any calculations or journal entries, you should lay out the terms of the lease. For example, consider an agreement by which the lessor rents an office space to the lessee for 1 year in exchange for a $1000 rent payment each month. As an incentive, the first 2 months of rent are waived. As the lessee, you will have to make sure that any rent expenses from a rent-free period are not simply postponed to a later point in the lease. Landlords often use the term "rent-free" to refer to this situation and a truly rent-free setup. 2-2. Determine the average rent payment made per month. Revenues and expenses associated with the lease must be spread evenly over the lease term, regardless of when the cash is transferred. Adding together all the rent payments in the example above yields 10 * $1000, or $10,000. Therefore, the average monthly rent is $10,000 / 12, or $833. This amount is used as the monthly revenue or expense. 2-3. Find the amount of the rent receivable/payable account paid down each month. Each month, a set amount of rent will be directed towards paying down the value of the rent-free period expense. This amount will be the amount of the rent payment minus the average monthly rent over the lease period. In the example, this would be $1,000 - $833, or $167. For the lessee, this would be the amount recorded as a contribution to rent payable each month. 3. Recording Journal Entries 3-1. Record the journal entry to recognize the first month's payment. In the example above, the first month sees no cash changing hands, but revenues and expenses must still be recognized by the two parties through entries in the general journal. The lessor would debit Rent Receivable for $833 and credit Rent Revenue for $833. Rent Receivable is an asset account used to recognize the accrual of rent payments due. The lessee would debit Rent Expense for $833 and credit Rent Payable for $833. Rent Payable is a liability account used to recognize the accrual of rent payments owed. 3-2. Record the journal entries for the second month. The second month's entries are the same for both parties, and cash has still not changed hands. Therefore, the same entries will made as in the first month. The account balances of Rent Revenue and Rent Payable are now $1666 each. This balance will be drawn gradually down to 0 over the remainder of the lease. Continue this process for the entirety of the rent-free period. 3-3. Record the journal entries to recognize each subsequent payment. At the end of each month, a journal entry is needed to record the rent payment and adjust the accrual balances. These entries serve to amortize the rent receivable/payable accounts by the same amount each month until they reach a $0 balance. In the example, the lessor would debit Cash for $1000 to reflect the cash receipt. They would credit Rent Revenue for $833 and credit Rent Receivable for $167 to begin drawing down its balance. The lessee would debit Rent Expense for $833 and debit Rent Payable for $167 to begin drawing down its balance. They would credit Cash for $1000 to recognize the cash disbursement. These entries will be identical each month for the remainder of the lease. Once the final entry is made, the Rent Payable and Rent Receivable accounts will have a balance of $0. Tips If the free rent had been granted at the end of the lease instead, the deferral accounts "Unearned Rent" and "Prepaid Rent" would be used instead of the accrual accounts "Rent Receivable" and "Rent Payable."

Record the journal entry to recognize the first month's payment.\\nIn the example above, the first month sees no cash changing hands, but revenues and expenses must still be recognized by the two parties through entries in the general journal.\\nThe lessor would debit Rent Receivable for $833 and credit Rent Revenue for $833. Rent Receivable is an asset account used to recognize the accrual of rent payments due.\\nThe lessee would debit Rent Expense for $833 and credit Rent Payable for $833. Rent Payable is a liability account used to recognize the accrual of rent payments owed.\\n3-2. Record the journal entries for the second month.\\nThe second month's entries are the same for both parties, and cash has still not changed hands. Therefore, the same entries will made as in the first month.\\nThe account balances of Rent Revenue and Rent Payable are now $1666 each. This balance will be drawn gradually down to 0 over the remainder of the lease.\\nContinue this process for the entirety of the rent-free period.\\n3-3. Record the journal entries to recognize each subsequent payment.\\nAt the end of each month, a journal entry is needed to record the rent payment and adjust the accrual balances. These entries serve to amortize the rent receivable/payable accounts by the same amount each month until they reach a $0 balance.\\nIn the example, the lessor would debit Cash for $1000 to reflect the cash receipt. They would credit Rent Revenue for $833 and credit Rent Receivable for $167 to begin drawing down its balance.\\nThe lessee would debit Rent Expense for $833 and debit Rent Payable for $167 to begin drawing down its balance. They would credit Cash for $1000 to recognize the cash disbursement.\\nThese entries will be identical each month for the remainder of the lease. Once the final entry is made, the Rent Payable and Rent Receivable accounts will have a balance of $0.\\nTips\\nIf the free rent had been granted at the end of the lease instead, the deferral accounts \\\"Unearned Rent\\\" and \\\"Prepaid Rent\\\" would be used instead of the accrual accounts \\\"Rent Receivable\\\" and \\\"Rent Payable.\\\"\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"In order to attract tenants (lessees), landlords (lessors) will often include incentives in their leasing arrangements.

How to Account for Royalty Payments
1. Setting Up Payments 1-1. Negotiate contracts If possible, negotiate royalties so that they can be paid monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. In any case, be sure that you and your licensor are on the same page on the contract and payments terms. Make sure the artist or contract holder is fully aware of when they will receive their payments. 1-2. Collect tax information on each person who will be paid royalties. You will need this information to issue payment information for each licensor to the IRS. Royalty payments count as income for licensors and must be reported to the IRS and listed on a Form 1099-MISC sent to each licensor. 1-3. Decide how to account for royalties, based on the size of your business. The following are common ways that businesses account for royalties: If yours is a small business, such as an art gallery, make sure your accounting software and bookkeeping system include a section for royalties. It can be hard to find software that includes this option, so shop carefully. For example, Easy Royalties and Metacomet solutions can be some of the most affordable options, depending on your business model. If yours is a mid-sized business, hire a royalty accountant. Some accountants specialize in royalties, so they will be able to input a royalty-accounting system into your bookkeeping to ensure that all royalty payments are made on time. If you are in charge of a large business, set up a royalty department. This department may include accountants, information technology (IT) professionals, and lawyers. If you are constantly acquiring new products that involve royalty payments, or you are in a large-scale software, music, art or renewable-resource business, then this is the recommended path. You may also consider hiring an accounting firm as an outside royalty department. 2. Making Entries 2-1. Record royalties using proper accounting methods. When buying or using royalty-covered items, make sure the royalty percentage is recorded in a double-entry accounting system. Audit your own system to be sure it is accounting for royalty expenses accurately. You can hire an auditor or certified public accountant (CPA) to do this on a one-time basis as well. 2-2. Be sure you are recording royalty payments at the right time. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) dictate that expenses (the royalties in this case) be recorded when they are incurred. So, royalty expenses should be incurred when the sale of the licensed item is made. 2-3. Account for advance payments. In many cases, a royalty contract will require an advance payment to a licensor. In this case, the licensee should record two entries at the full amount of the advance payment: a debit to prepaid royalties and a credit to the cash account. This reflects the payment of an advance as royalty payments paid early for future delivery of intellectual property. Any payments like this would also mean paying out cash from your cash account, which is reflected in the above crediting entry. For example, a $10,000 advance payment would be recorded as a $10,000 debit to prepaid royalties and a $10,000 credit to the cash account. 2-4. Account for regular payments. Some contracts stipulate that the licensee pay the licensor a percentage of net income over each quarter, month, or other designated period. These payments will be recorded as reductions to the prepaid royalty account until that account is depleted. After that, they are recorded as royalty expenses and reductions to the cash account. For example, imagine that the licensee who distributed the $10,000 advance payment in the example above owes the licensor 7 percent of net income, which totaled $100,000 for the current period. The total royalty payment, 7 percent of $100,000 or $7,000, would be debited to the royalty expense account and credited to the prepaid royalties account. Assuming net income remained the same for the next period, a different set of entries would be made. First, the royalty expense account would be debited for the full royalty amount, $7,000. The prepaid royalty account now only totals $3,000 ($10,000 original minus $7,000 from last period). So, this $3,000 would be credited to prepaid royalties and that account would be closed. Now, the remaining $4,000 would be credited to the cash account. 2-5. Account for stepped royalty agreements. Other royalty agreements create agreements where the licensor receives a greater royalty payment at different levels of sales. This is called a stepped royalty agreement and is recorded differently than a regular royalty payment. It is recorded in the ledger as a debit to royalty expense and a credit to accrued royalties (assuming the royalties are to be paid at the end of the period). For example, an author might receive $1 per book for the first 10,000 sold, then $1.50 per book for any sales after that. If 20,000 books are sold within this period, then the author would receive a total of $25,000 in royalty payments (10,000 x $1 + 10,000 x $1.50). This would be recorded as a $25,000 debit to royalty expenses and a $25,000 credit to accrued royalties. Any accrued liability is reduced at the end of the period the royalties are paid out. 3. Reducing Risk 3-1. Understand the risks of doing "creative accounting" with your royalties. It is not uncommon for patent or copyright owners to sue for infringement, so you should make sure that your accounting methods are in line with your royalty agreements. By communicating clearly with your licensor and following the contract, you can avoid a lot of additional cost and legal hassle down the road. For example, some a licensee may forget to incorporate consideration of their business model (payment timing, tax structure, etc.) in the contract. This may result in unintentionally low or late payments to the licensor. In this case, the licensee would likely lose a court case over the royalties owed and be liable for more costs. 3-2. Save all paperwork that relates to the payment of royalties. Artists or patent-holders can and will ask for proof of sales, use and payments. Paperwork saved should include, in addition to the original contract, any ledger entries, financial statements, sales or payments receipts, and any additions or alterations made to the original agreement. 3-3. Document any verbal agreements or revisions. Either party to a royalty agreement may at any point verbally suggest or institute a change to the contract. If this change is not properly incorporated into the accounting procedures and the official contract, this may result in your licensor demanding additional payments due to a verbal agreement that you have no official record of. Be sure to institute a policy of formally adding and verifying any contract revisions to avoid this situation. 3-4. Issue checks whenever possible, so that you can provide proof of payment. Electronic payments are sometimes less detailed than paper checks. Whenever you reconcile accounts, your bank statements will reflect all royalty payments made by checks. Tips This article covers the royalty accounting process for licensees, who sell intellectual property through an agreement with the creator, the licensor. The licensor should report royalty income as regular income on an IRS form 1040. This may require the attachment of an additional form, Schedule E. Speak to a tax preparer for more information.[10] X Research source While there are no rule-of-thumb figures for royalty payment rates paid to licensors, most are between 1 and 30 percent of gross sales.[11] X Research source . The actual royalty rate in your contract will have to be negotiated with your licensor, so be prepared to offer justification for your rate if asked. This can be in the form of similar contracts or industry-specific averages. Warnings This article is intended to serve as a guide only and does not replace professional legal counsel. Consult a royalties accountant or intellectual property lawyer before proceeding with your own royalty contracts.

1. Using the Cost Method 1-1. Repurchase the shares of stock you want to buy back. You will have to determine the number of shares you want to buy back in order to figure the total you will be paying out in cash in exchange for the shares. So, if you buy back 10,000 shares of stock at $15 per share, you will pay out $150,000 in cash. 1-2. Record the transaction in the treasury stock account. You will label the debit (the amount you paid to buy back the stock) as "treasury stock." Underneath, notate a credit for the same amount in cash. Using the example of 10,000 shares from step one, you will label a debit of $150,000 as "treasury stock," and a credit for the same amount as "cash." Treasury stock is a contra-equity account. It is not treated as an asset, because a company cannot legally invest in its own stock. Rather, treasury stock is presented on the balance sheet, where it reduces the total amount of owner's equity. If the shares are purchased with another asset (for example, land instead of cash), that asset account should be credited instead. 1-3. Understand that you may choose to resell the stock. If you do not resell the stock, you must retire it. Should you resell it, you will list the resale as a cash debit for the sale amount, plus a credit for any additional paid-in capital (that is, profit from reselling the stock at a higher value) in the treasury stock account. You will list the sale amount minus the additional paid-in capital as a credit for that amount marked "treasury stock." Reselling the 10,000 shares in the example from step one at $17 per share would mean you would notate the resale as a cash debit in the amount of $170,000, along with an additional paid-in capital credit of $20,000 and a treasury stock credit of $150,000. 1-4. Understand that you may retire the shares. Retiring the shares requires you to notate in the treasury stock account the par value of the common stock—which is the face value of the stock—as a debit. If your 10,000 shares of stock from the example in step one had a par value of $1 each, you would notate that as "common stock, $1 par value" along with a debit in the amount of $10,000. You would list the amount paid above the par value as an additional paid-in capital debit, which would mean $140,000 for the example in step one. You would need to notate a treasury stock credit in the full amount, which would be $150,000 for the 10,000 share example. 2. Using the Constructive Retirement Method 2-1. Buy back the number of shares of stock your board has decided on. Multiply the number of shares by the price per share to determine the amount of money you will have to pay out. If you were buying back 10,000 shares with a par value of $1 originally sold for $12 each at $15 per stock, you would pay out $150,000. 2-2. Record the transaction. You will need to list the common stock as a debit for the par value, so 10,000 shares with a par value of $1 would be listed as "common stock, par value $1" with a debit amount of $10,000. Notate the original sale price minus the par value as additional paid-in capital. Since the 10,000 shares in the example were originally sold at $12 per share, the additional paid-in capital debit amount would be $110,000. The remaining $30,000 from the 10,000 shares bought back at $15 per share will be notated as a retained earnings debit. Finish the notation with a cash credit in the full amount—the example would be a cash credit of $150,000. 2-3. Understand that the common stock and additional paid-in capital amounts are eliminated. Using the constructive retirement method for the buy back of shares eliminates the common stock and additional paid-in capital amounts so they can be written in as a credit along with the retained earnings. This method is used when it is assumed that the stock will not be reissued. Tips The sample calculations above will work equally well when expressed in other currencies.

How to Account for Stock Based Compensation
1. Calculating Compensation Value 1-1. Distinguish between important dates. There are several important dates associated with stock compensation plans. Each one is essential to properly recording and reporting options plans. In order, they are: The grant date. This represents when the date at which employee is compensated. The vesting date. The date at which, in a stock option plan, an employee can exercise their options (to buy stock shares). The exercise date. The date at which the employee chooses to exercise his or her options. If they choose to not exercise their options, there will not be an exercise date recorded. Expiration date. The date at which any remaining, unexercised options expire. 1-2. Choose a method for determining the value of the stock-based compensation. In order to be recorded in journal entries, the stock compensation must be appropriately valued. The two most common methods recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) are intrinsic value and fair value methods. Intrinsic value refers to the difference between the stock price when the stock is granted and the price of the stock at the earliest date the stock vests and can be sold. Fair value bases the value of stock on a complex model of factors that estimates the value of the stock or option at the time of the grant. Publicly-traded companies are required to use the fair value method. Non-public companies may use either method. 1-3. Find the value of restricted stock. Restricted stock, also known as non-vested stock, includes stock compensation that has not yet become vested. This means that employees given this stock are currently unable to exercise their options or sell the stock that they have been compensated with. The fair value of this stock is recorded as the market price of a share of the stock on the grant date. The total value of each plan's restricted stock is the number of shares multiplied by the fair value. 1-4. Calculate stock option value. Stock option fair values are somewhat more complicated to calculate than the fair values of stock shares. Option values are calculated using a model that takes into consideration the market price at the grant date, the price at which the option is exercised, volatility, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. The Black-Scholes model is one of the more common methods for fair-value estimation of options. This calculation is typically handled by accounting or financial modeling software. 2. Making Journal Entries 2-1. Make an entry to record compensation. Original stock compensation is recorded according to when the stocks or options become vested (available to the employee). The specifics of when this occurs are specific to individual employee stock compensation plans and are created at the discretion of the company. The entries made on the vesting date(s) are a debit to Compensation Expense and a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, Stock Options, both for the fair value of the vested options or stocks. For example, imagine that an employee is granted a stock option plan on the first day of 2014 that gives them the option to purchase 1,000 shares of stock after a 2-year vesting period. The options included in the plan are valued at $35,000 through the use of a fair value model. The entries made on the vesting date, which would be the last day of 2015 (12/31/2015) are a debit of $35,000 to Compensation Expense and a Credit of $35,000 to Additional Paid-In Capital, Stock Options. 2-2. Record exercised options. All other entries for stock compensation plans will likely be made on the expiration date. Any exercised options will be recorded to reflect the increase in cash and change in common stock and options accounts. Continuing with the previous example, imagine that the employee decides to exercise 400 of his options. This would mean that he buys 400 shares of the stock at the option price. The option price is $50, this would represent $20,000 (400×$50{\displaystyle 400\times \$50}) in cash coming in to the company. In addition, it would represent 40 percent (400 of 1000 total) of the stock options originally granted leaving the company. However, this also means that the common stock shares created in the purchase must be recorded. This will be done at the par value. So, if the par value of the shares is $5, this would mean that the company has gained $2,000 ($5×400{\displaystyle \$5\times 400}) in common stock. This transaction would be recorded at the expiration date of the options as a debit to Cash for $20,000, a debit to Additional Paid-In Capital, Stock Options, for $14,000, a credit to Common Stock for $2,000, and, finally, a balancing credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, Common Stock, for $32,000.The balancing entry at the end represents the difference between the debits to Cash and Stock Options ($34,000 total) and the common stock credit ($2,000). 2-3. Write off expired options. At the expiration date, any unexercised options are also recorded. In this case, having exercised 40 percent of their options over the vesting period, the employee has elected not to exercise the remaining 60 percent. This means that 60 percent of the original $35,000 value, or $21,000, will be written off as expired stock options. Specifically, a debit to Additional Paid-In Capital, Stock Options, will be made along with a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, Expired Stock Options, both for the $21,000 fair value of the expired options. 2-4. Account for the employee stock-based compensation when completing your financial statements. How financial statements are presented is your prerogative, but you must include all stock-based compensation when distributing statements to your stockholders. Stock compensation should be recorded as an expense on the income statement. However, stock compensation expenses must also be included on the company's balance sheet and statement of cash flows. 3. Recording Compensation As an Employee 3-1. Find your grant price. Determine the price at which you could purchase a share under the terms of your employee stock-based compensation plan. This is known as the par value or the grant price for stock options. Repeat this process for each "batch" of stock if you received stock-based compensation at different price points. This information should be listed in your employment contract or can be found by contacting your HR department. For example, an employee might have a grant price of $10. This represents how much he or she would pay for a share, regardless of the current market price. 3-2. Calculate the difference between the grant price and market price at the exercise date. If you choose to exercise your options at any point, you need to record the full market value of the stock shares at the time at which you exercised the options. This is because the difference between the market price and the grant date at the exercise date is taxable as income if you do not hold the stock for a long enough period of time. This period of time, generally one or two years, is determined by federal and state law and varies between states and options plans. For example, if your grant price is $10 and the current market price at the date of exercise is $50, you would need to calculate the difference, which here is $40 per share. If you sell before the waiting period is over, you will be responsible for paying income tax on that difference. This would be calculated as your marginal tax rate times the total amount of the compensation. So, if you exercised 100 options, you would need to pay income tax on the per share difference ($40) times 100 shares, which would be $4,000. 3-3. Determine capital gains on the sale of the stock. When you sell the stock provided by your stock compensation plan, you must pay capital gains on your returns from the sale. These taxes are all that you will owe on your stock compensation gains if you have already reached the end of the required waiting period when you sell. Capital gains are determined as the difference between the market value at exercise and the market value at the selling date. For example, if you sold the 100 shares from the previous example when the price hit $70, you would experience a taxable capital gain or $20 per share, or $2,000. 3-4. File your taxes properly. Make sure to disclose all capital gains and losses on your income taxes. You should also include any stock sold before the required waiting period. Speak to a financial professional if you are unsure of when this waiting period ends. Failure to properly to report these gains can result in fines or criminal penalties. Tips The accounting procedures and rules described in this article are specific to U.S. generally accepted accounting procedures (U.S. GAAP). Those entities using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for their accounting practices will need to follow the rules specific to IFRS.[14] X Research source

How to Account for Stolen Inventory
1. Loss Assessment 1-1. Take a physical count of the inventory. Retail companies tend to handle this in one of two ways: either the perpetual or periodic inventory system. Under the perpetual system, companies constantly track inventory levels on the books, whereas with the periodic system inventory is only counted at the end of the accounting period. Either way, you'll need to take a physical count of your inventory to assess the damage (or determine that there isn't any). For example, imagine that you own a store that sells pet food. You suspect that someone has broken in, so you take a physical count of your dog food bags. After some work, your workers determine that there are 450 bags of dog food in the store. 1-2. Compare the physical inventory count to the account balance on the books. In nearly all cases, the physical count will be lower (a higher count usually points to errors in the counting). This difference between the inventory on the books and physical inventory is referred to as inventory shrinkage. Be careful to attribute this shrinkage to the correct causes. A large shrinkage is cause for alarm and should be further investigated. However, you can't assume that all of the difference is due to theft. Common causes of inventory shrinkage are theft, spoilage, obsolescence, damage, and display (items that have been put on display and are no longer fit for consumption). Cracking down on theft will not necessarily reduce these other factors. Retail companies should have procedures and policies in place to deal with spoilage, damage, and obsolescence automatically if these cause significant shrinkage. For example, imagine that in the previous example of a pet store, you look in your books and you are supposed to have 500 bags of dog food instead of the 450 you counted. Ask your employees about how many bags have been damaged and determine if this number could be due to factors other than theft. 1-3. Total the value of the missing inventory. In order to account for inventory shrinkage, you'll also need to determine the value of the inventory lost. Be sure to use the same values that were on the books for the inventory, not the sale price of the lost items. This also includes any other costs associated with the inventory lost, like shipping charges and direct labor. If you use an electronic inventory system, chances are your system will be able to do this calculation for you. Book value for inventory is calculated in different ways by different businesses. In general, valuation of inventory falls into one of three categories: Last-in, first-out (LIFO). This method uses the cost of the items added to inventory most recently to value the inventory sold or lost. For example if 5 chairs were bought from a wholesaler at $50 each and then later 5 more were bought at $70 each, the business would use the $70 cost for the first five chairs sold and then the $50 cost for the next 5. First-in, first-out (FIFO). This is the opposite of LIFO and assumes that the first inventory in is sold first. Using the same chair example, the first five chairs sold would be valued at a cost of $50 each and the last 5 at $70. Average cost. This is a method that averages the cost of all of the inventory and values each item at that cost. In the chair example this would be calculated as ((5 chairs * $50 each)*(5 chairs* $70 each))/10 total chairs, which results in an average cost of $60 each. Using the same example from earlier, imagine your dog food costs $10 per bag wholesale (on average). Because you've lost 50 bags, your total inventory shrinkage is valued at 50*$10, or $500. 1-4. Assess the magnitude of the loss. Determine whether or not the loss is large enough to significantly affect your business. Your determination can affect how the inventory shrinkage is recorded. If the loss is relatively small, it should be recorded as part of the cost of goods sold. However, a larger loss will be reported as a separate line on the income statement. How the loss is reported is left to the discretion of management. In the pet store example, you decide that your loss of 10 percent of your inventory (50 bags out of 500) is a serious loss. This should be reported on the income statement as stolen inventory (if you determine the cause of the shrinkage was indeed theft). 2. Accounting Entries 2-1. Determine what type of entry to make. The inventory account must be reconciled at the end of each accounting period to account for the discrepancy in inventory count. Generally, this is made as an adjustment to inventory and cost of goods sold. However, if the inventory shrinkage is determined to be significant, the loss must be reported on the income statement separately from cost of goods sold. Just make sure the loss is not double-recorded in this case by excluding the value of the stolen inventory from cost of goods sold. 2-2. Record an adjusting entry to balance the inventory account with the physical count. An entry must be made in the general journal at the time of loss to account for the shrinkage. For this example, assume that the inventory shrinkage is $500. Account for the stolen inventory by debiting cost of goods sold for the value of inventory, $500, and crediting inventory for the same amount. 2-3. Include a note along with the adjusting entry. After making the entry, make sure to enter a note that indicates the entry was made to adjust for inventory shrinkage. Large losses may warrant a detailed explanation in the notes section of the financial statements. 2-4. Account for insurance reimbursement. If you have insurance to protect against inventory loss, a separate entry must be made to account for the insurance money received. In this case, you would debit cash and credit "other income/insurance compensation" for the amount received.

How to Account for Subsidiaries
1. Accounting for Transactions with the Subsidiary 1-1. Record the parent’s purchase of the subsidiary’s stock. To do this, debit Intercorporate Investment and credit Cash. For example, if the parent bought $50,000 worth of a subsidiary’s stock, it would debit Intercorporate Investment for $50,000 to reflect the new asset and credit cash for $50,000 to reflect the cash outflow. 1-2. Record any dividends that the subsidiary pays the parent company. To do this, debit Cash and credit Intercorporate Investment. For example, say that the parent company receives $1,000 of dividends from the subsidiary. The parent company debits cash for $1,000 and credits Intercorporate Investment for $1,000 to reflect the fact that the dividend decreased the subsidiary’s retained earnings. 1-3. Record the parent’s percentage of the subsidiary’s annual profit. To do this, debit the Intercorporate Investment account and credit Investment Revenue. For example, assume the parent company owns 60% of the subsidiary, and the subsidiary reports a profit of $100,000. The parent company debits Intercorporate Investment for $60,000 (60% of $100,000) and credits Investment Revenue for $60,000. 1-4. Identify transactions that need to be adjusted in consolidated financial statements. In order to make the preparation of consolidated financial statements easier, it's best to identify transactions that will be adjusted. These include any accounts payable, accounts receivable, and sales transactions that occur between the parent company and its subsidiary. Mark these transactions with a special reference tag in the ledger so that they can be accounted for at the end of the year. 2. Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements 2-1. Determine if the parent needs to prepare consolidated financial statements. Consolidated financial statements are necessary if the parent exercises majority control over the subsidiary. Majority control means that parent can control what the subsidiary does. Since, by definition, parents own more than 50% of the subsidiary’s stock, the parent usually exercises majority control. If the subsidiary is going through bankruptcy, a foreign country restricts remittance of profits to the parent, or the parent can’t control the subsidiary’s operations, it may not have majority control and doesn’t have to prepare consolidated financial statements. 2-2. Prepare the consolidated financial statements. List the subsidiary’s balance sheet and income statement information next to the parent’s accounting data. Add each line item together to determine the consolidated balance. For example, if the parent has $40,000 in accounts receivable and the subsidiary has $30,000 in accounts receivable, the consolidated column should indicate $70,000 of accounts receivable. 2-3. Adjust intercorporate stock-holdings. Intercorporate stock holding issues cause an overstatement of the outstanding stock balance by reporting subsidiary stock owned by the parent as outstanding stock. This can be remedied with a debit to the subsidiary's common stock, paid-in capital in excess of par, and retained earnings accounts and a credit to the investment in stock of subsidiary account for an equal amount. These transactions will be for the book value of the subsidiary stock and related accounts. For example, if the parents owns $100,000 in the subsidiary's stock and the subsidiary's retained earnings total $50,000, their common stock and paid-in capital in excess of par would be debited for a total of $100,000 (depending on how much the par value of the stock is) and their retained earnings would be debited for $50,000. Then, the parent company's investment in subsidiary stock account would be credited for $150,000. 2-4. Adjust intercorporate sales. Intercorporate sales arise from inventory transfers that take place between the parent and the subsidiary. Keep in mind that a sale isn't considered consummated until the item sold to the subsidiary is re-sold to an independent third party. In these cases, one side may report a profit, even though no transaction has taken place. This means that several accounts will be overstated in the consolidated reports. Identify these inventory transfers and then debit consolidated retained earnings credit consolidated ending inventory for the value of the transfers. For example, if $50,000 worth of product was transferred from the subsidiary to the parent, the consolidated statements would record a $50,000 debit to retained earnings and a $50,000 credit to consolidated ending inventory. 2-5. Adjust intercorporate receivables and payables. Intercorporate receivables and payables arise from transactions between the parent and the subsidiary. Essentially, this appears on the consolidated statement like the consolidated company owes itself money. This issue can be fixed with debits to consolidated accounts payable and credits to consolidated accounts receivable as necessary to eliminate intercorporate transactions. For example, if a sale is recorded from the subsidiary to the parent in the amount of $20,000 and an entry for accounts receivable is made in the subsidiary's accounts, an entry should be made crediting consolidated accounts receivable for $20,000 to eliminate this transaction. Tips The examples above will work equally well when expressed in other currencies.

Majority control means that parent can control what the subsidiary does.\\nSince, by definition, parents own more than 50% of the subsidiary’s stock, the parent usually exercises majority control.\\nIf the subsidiary is going through bankruptcy, a foreign country restricts remittance of profits to the parent, or the parent can’t control the subsidiary’s operations, it may not have majority control and doesn’t have to prepare consolidated financial statements.\\n2-2. Prepare the consolidated financial statements.\\nList the subsidiary’s balance sheet and income statement information next to the parent’s accounting data. Add each line item together to determine the consolidated balance.\\nFor example, if the parent has $40,000 in accounts receivable and the subsidiary has $30,000 in accounts receivable, the consolidated column should indicate $70,000 of accounts receivable.\\n2-3. Adjust intercorporate stock-holdings.\\nIntercorporate stock holding issues cause an overstatement of the outstanding stock balance by reporting subsidiary stock owned by the parent as outstanding stock. This can be remedied with a debit to the subsidiary's common stock, paid-in capital in excess of par, and retained earnings accounts and a credit to the investment in stock of subsidiary account for an equal amount.\\nThese transactions will be for the book value of the subsidiary stock and related accounts.\\nFor example, if the parents owns $100,000 in the subsidiary's stock and the subsidiary's retained earnings total $50,000, their common stock and paid-in capital in excess of par would be debited for a total of $100,000 (depending on how much the par value of the stock is) and their retained earnings would be debited for $50,000.\\nThen, the parent company's investment in subsidiary stock account would be credited for $150,000.\\n2-4. Adjust intercorporate sales.\\nIntercorporate sales arise from inventory transfers that take place between the parent and the subsidiary. Keep in mind that a sale isn't considered consummated until the item sold to the subsidiary is re-sold to an independent third party. In these cases, one side may report a profit, even though no transaction has taken place. This means that several accounts will be overstated in the consolidated reports.\\nIdentify these inventory transfers and then debit consolidated retained earnings credit consolidated ending inventory for the value of the transfers.\\nFor example, if $50,000 worth of product was transferred from the subsidiary to the parent, the consolidated statements would record a $50,000 debit to retained earnings and a $50,000 credit to consolidated ending inventory.\\n2-5. Adjust intercorporate receivables and payables.\\nIntercorporate receivables and payables arise from transactions between the parent and the subsidiary. Essentially, this appears on the consolidated statement like the consolidated company owes itself money. This issue can be fixed with debits to consolidated accounts payable and credits to consolidated accounts receivable as necessary to eliminate intercorporate transactions.\\nFor example, if a sale is recorded from the subsidiary to the parent in the amount of $20,000 and an entry for accounts receivable is made in the subsidiary's accounts, an entry should be made crediting consolidated accounts receivable for $20,000 to eliminate this transaction.\\nTips\\nThe examples above will work equally well when expressed in other currencies.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"A subsidiary is a company that is controlled by another company that owns 50% or more of its voting stock. The controlling company, also called the parent company, is said to have a controlling interest in the subsidiary. This type of parent-subsidiary relationship typically comes about as the result of acquisitions or heavy investment by a large corporation in another company.

How to Account for Sweat Equity
1. Determining How Much Sweat Equity Is Worth 1-1. Calculate the value of the business. Before you can determine the value of any sweat equity, you'll first need to determine the value of the business. That's because you'll effectively be compensating somebody with "part" of the business. You need to know how big or small a part of the business the person should receive in exchange for services rendered. One way to calculate the value of a new business is by simply looking at the startup capital that's been put into it. For example, if you put $250,000 into a startup, then the business is worth $250,000. Use comparables to determine the worth of your company. Check out how much companies like yours are selling for on sites like BizBuySell and BizQuest. Your company should be worth about as much as others in the same space and region. Use discounted cash flow to determine the worth of your business. If your business is already earning revenue, you can use a discounted cash flow model to calculate its worth. That's where you value your business based on future cash flows. Value your business based on a multiple of current cash flows. For example, if your business has a cash flow of $50,000 per year, simply multiply it with a valuation figure to determine the value. You might multiply it by two or as much as five, depending on the nature of your business and the growth potential. Once again, check out how similar businesses are being valued to determine the multiplier that's best for your business. Use a combination of the above mentioned methods and take an average. There's no reason you need to isolate yourself to one method when valuing your business. Use a variety of methods and take an average to get a solid valuation for your business. 1-2. Determine the value of each share of stock. If you're business is a corporation, you'll need to know the value of each share of stock so that you can properly pay the person performing the sweat equity the appropriate number of shares. For example, if your company is worth $500,000 and it has issued 100,000 shares of stock, then each share is worth $5. For partnerships and LLCs, you'll be using be using percentages instead of shares of stock. For example, you'll "pay" the person performing the sweat equity 10% of the company instead of 10,000 shares of stock. 1-3. Calculate the value of the sweat equity performed. You'll want to pay a fair market value for the type of work performed. In this case, though, you'll do that with a piece of your company instead of cash. Use the "foregone alternative" method to determine the value of the equity. In other words, what could the person have earned if he or she had done the exact same work for another company? That's the value of the sweat equity earned. How much did the sweat equity contribute to the value of the business? It may be the case that the sweat equity contributed much more in value to the business than the actual cost of labor. For example, if you paint a house, you could earn $2,000 for the work. This would be the market value of your work. However, you might add $3,000 to the value of the house by painting it. This represents the value added to the house based on the addition of your labor. Both of these numbers are estimates, so actual amount of sweat equity may be in the range between the two. 1-4. Pay the person who performed the sweat equity. Once you've determined the value of your company and the value of the work performed, pay the person who performed the sweat equity. For example, if you value the work performed at $50,000 and your share price is $5, then pay the person who performed the work 10,000 shares of stock. If your business is a partnership or an LLC, then the person who performed the sweat equity will effectively buy a percentage of the business with the sweat equity as opposed to cash. Keep in mind that once you pay a person in stock for work performed, you can't take the shares back if the person stops working or doesn't do a good job. In other words, once you give somebody 10,000 shares, you can't take them back. That's why some people pay sweat equity partners an effective hourly rate in shares. The more the person works, the more equity he or she earns. Payment for sweat equity in stock shares is a taxable transaction for corporations. 2. Accounting for Sweat Equity in a Corporation 2-1. Determine the par value of your stock. The par value of the stock is the value of the stock as determined in the corporate charter. You'll need this information to properly account for sweat equity. In most cases, stock shares will have a very low par value, perhaps $1 or 1 cent per share. Other times, the par value can even be zero. 2-2. Calculate the value of the sweat equity beyond the par value of the stock. For example, If you're paying the person who did the work 10,000 shares at $5 per share, but your par value is $1 per share, then the value of the sweat equity beyond the par value is $50,000 (10,000 shares x $5 per share) - $10,000 (10,000 shares x $1 per share) or $40,000. 2-3. Debit expenses for the entire value of the sweat equity. If the person performed the work for $50,000 in stock, then you'll debit expenses for $50,000. You might use one expense account (e.g., professional services) or break the expenses out into multiple expense accounts (e.g., contract work, maintenance, IT services). That's at your discretion, but the total debit value should add up the value of the sweat equity. 2-4. Credit the appropriate capital accounts. You've just debited your expenses for $50,000, so you need to make some credits to keep your books in balance. Credit common stock for the value of the stock based on its par value. For example, if you paid someone $50,000 in stock with a par value of $10,000, then credit your common stock amount $10,000. Credit paid-in capital for the difference between the value of the sweat equity and the stock's par value. This is the same number you derived from Step #2 above. For the example that we've been using, that number is $40,000. If there is no difference between your stock's par value and its current value, you don't need to make any adjustments to the paid-in capital account. 3. Accounting for Sweat Equity in a Partnership of LLC 3-1. Debit the appropriate expense accounts. As with a corporation, you'll debit your expense accounts to have some record of the work done in exchange for the equity. For example, if John Smith is the one who performed the sweat equity and you determined that it was worth $50,000, then you'll debit expenses for the amount of $50,000. You might use one expense account (e.g., professional services) or break the expenses out into multiple expense accounts (e.g., contract work, maintenance, IT services). That's at your discretion, but the total debit value should add up the value of the sweat equity. 3-2. Create the new capital account. It's likely that the person doing the sweat equity doesn't have a capital account yet. For many partnerships and LLCs, there are capital accounts identified by the person's name (e.g., "John Smith - Capital"). Create that account for the person performing the sweat equity if it doesn't exist. 3-3. Credit the appropriate capital account. Now, you're going to balance out the expenses you debited before by crediting the capital account of the person who performed the work. To continue with the example, you'll credit the "John Smith - Capital" account for $50,000. Warnings You might need to account for the sweat equity as a capital expenditure as opposed to an expense. Consult a tax adviser about that. People who are "paid" in sweat equity will need to pay income taxes on the value of the equity that they received.

How to Account for Tenant Improvements
1. Understanding Tenant Improvements and Leasehold Improvements 1-1. Define tenant improvements. Tenant improvements are capital improvements made by the landlord. The landlord makes these improvements to prepare the space for the tenant. These improvements become permanent components of the property. They are owned by the landlord, and they remain capital assets of the landlord even when the tenant takes possession of the property. For example, suppose a landlord owns a commercial building that he wants to lease out as office space. In order to attract the right tenants, the landlord installs floor and wall coverings, ceilings, partitions, air conditioning, fire protection, and security. The landlord pays for these improvements. 1-2. Identify leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements include customization of the property made by the tenant. Examples include shelving, cabinetry, and painting projects. Depending on how the tenant improvement section of the lease agreement was negotiated, either the tenant or landlord may pay for these improvements. For example, suppose a landlord owns a commercial space and the owners of a hair salon and spa want to rent it. The owners of the hair salon plan to install carpeting, lighting and walls and doors for private rooms. The tenant, or the owners of the hair salon, pay for the improvements. Sometimes, the landlord gives the tenant an allowance, called a tenant improvement allowance, to pay for the leasehold improvements. This allowance is usually a certain dollar amount per square foot of space. If the cost of the leasehold improvements exceeds the tenant improvement allowance, the tenant pays for those improvements out of pocket. Sometimes the tenant alone pays for the improvements. No matter the payment arrangement, in most cases the improvements become the property of the landlord at the end of the lease. 1-3. Account for tenant improvements and leasehold improvements. Tenant improvements and leasehold improvements typically qualify as capital expenditures. This means that the cost of the improvements exceeds a predetermined limit established by the company, known as the capitalization threshold (which is typically between $5,000 and $10,000). Capital expenses are recorded as an asset on a balance sheet, and then charged to expense over time on the income statements using depreciation or amortization. If the landlord makes tenant improvements, the capital expenditure is recorded as an asset on the landlord's balance sheet. Then the expense is recorded on the landlord's income statements using depreciation over the useful life of the asset. If the tenant pays for leasehold improvements, the capital expenditure is recorded as an asset on the tenant's balance sheet. Then the expense is recorded on income statements as amortization over either the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. The tenant expenses the leasehold improvements with amortization instead of depreciation because the ownership of the improvements reverts to the landlord at the end of the lease. Therefore, the improvements are treated as intangible assets, for which amortization is used instead of depreciation. 1-4. Learn the difference between depreciation and amortization. Both depreciation and amortization are methods to record the expense of a capital expenditure on an income statement over time. Some people use the terms interchangeably, although this is not technically correct. The difference between depreciation and amortization has to do with tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets are physical assets, such as land, buildings or equipment. These are recorded with depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the useful life of the asset and the salvage value, or the amount for which the asset can be sold at the end of its useful life. Intangible assets are non-physical assets, such as licenses, copyrights, patents or trademark. These expenses are recorded with amortization. 1-5. Expense leasehold improvements with amortization. The tenant makes leasehold improvements and expenses them with amortization. Even though many leasehold improvements are actually tangible assets, such as carpeting or cabinetry, the tenant records the expense for these improvements with amortization. The reason has to do with ownership of the assets. Since the landlord retains ownership of the improvements at the end of the lease, there is no salvage value for the tenant. Therefore, the leasehold improvements are treated as intangible assets and accounted for with amortization. 1-6. Expense tenant improvements with depreciation. The landlord makes tenant improvements and expenses them with depreciation. These capital purchases are treated just like other ordinary capital purchases. They are tangible assets that the landlord owns. They have a useful life and a salvage value. The landlord records them as an asset on the balance sheet and then expenses them over time as depreciation on income statements. 2. Accounting for Leasehold Improvements 2-1. Know who accounts for leasehold improvements. Since the tenant pays for them, it is the tenant who makes the entries for leasehold improvements. The tenant records the capital expenditure as an asset on their own balance sheet. Then the cost of the improvements is recorded as amortization on the tenant's income statements over time. For example, suppose the hair salon and spa who is leasing commercial space from the landlord spends $35,000 on the necessary improvements. It is the hair salon who will record those assets and expenses on their balance sheet and income statements. 2-2. Define the amortization period. The IRS requires leasehold improvements to be amortized over either the length of the lease or the useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. So, suppose the hair salon has signed a five-year lease with the landlord, and the useful life of the leasehold improvements is estimated to be seven years. Since the lease period is shorter than the useful life of the improvements, the expenses will be amortized over a five-year period. The hair salon will record $7,000 of amortization each year for a period of five years on their own accounting documentation ($35,000 / 5 years = $7,000 per year). 2-3. Extend the amortization period. The amortization period can be extended beyond the expiration date of the lease. Certain conditions must be met that guarantee that the tenant will renew the lease. For example, the landlord can provide a bargain-price renewal option. Or, the landlord might charge a penalty for failure to renew the lease. Either of these conditions would strongly incentivize the tenant to renew the lease, so the amortization period can be extended, resulting in smaller amortization expenses. For example, suppose the hair salon could commit to renewing the lease for an additional five years after the expiration because the landlord is offering a discount on rent if they renew. In this case, the period of the lease would be 10 years, and the useful life of the equipment is still seven years. Now, the shorter period is the useful life of the improvements. So the hair salon will amortize these expenses over the course of seven years. The annual amortization expense will be $5,000 ($35,000 / 7 years = $5,000 per year). 2-4. Record the amortization. The journal entry for amortization includes a debit to the Amortization Expense line on the tenant's income statement and a credit to the Accumulated Amortization account on the tenant's balance sheet. The journal entry is made in this way in order to achieve the matching principle. The matching principle in accounting says that expenses are reported by a company in the same period as the related revenues. According to the matching principle, it would be incorrect for the hair salon to record the entire cost of the leasehold improvements, $35,000, in the first year because revenue related to those improvements will be generated over the next several years. With amortization, part of the cost of the leasehold improvements gets moved from the tenant's balance sheet to the tenant's income statement so it can be matched with the revenue obtained from the use of these items. 3. Accounting for Tenant Improvement Allowances 3-1. Understand who accounts for tenant improvement allowances. The tenant improvement allowance is the amount of money the landlord agrees to contribute towards leasehold improvements. The way the allowance is recorded in financial statements depends on the nature of the agreement between the landlord and the tenant. The landlord may have agreed to reimburse the tenant for the expenses. Alternatively, the tenant might receive free or discounted rent for a number of months. 3-2. Record rent-free or reduced rent periods. Both the tenant and the landlord are required to recognize the rent on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This means that the total amount of rent over the entire term of the lease should be divided by the number of months in the lease so that the same amount of rent is recorded each month, even in rent-free or reduced rent months. For example, suppose the lease for the hair salon stated that the monthly rent would be $2,000 for a term of 60 months and that the landlord agreed to contribute $10,000 to the leasehold improvements in the form of free rent for five months. In this example, the hair salon is paying $2,000 per month for 55 months, or $110,000 total ($2,000 x 55 = $110,000). The term of the lease is 60 months, so the monthly rent that must be recorded as an expense for the tenant and as revenue for the landlord must be $1,833.33 ($110,000 / 60 = $1,833.33). 3-3. Record reimbursements for leasehold improvements to the tenant. If the landlord reimburses the tenant for leasehold improvements, this is considered a lease incentive. Both the tenant and the landlord must record the entire amount of the incentive on their balance sheets. Then the incentive is recorded as deferred rent over the life of the lease. The landlord records the gross value of the incentive as an asset on the balance sheet. Then the asset is expensed over the term of the lease as a reduction of rental income. The tenant records the gross value of the incentive as a liability on the balance sheet. Then the liability is recorded as a reduction of rental expense over the term of the lease. Suppose in the above example, the landlord gave the tenant $10,000 to use for leasehold improvements. The landlord would record $10,000 as an asset on the balance sheet. If the lease were for 60 months, then the monthly reduction to rental income to be recorded on the income statement would be $166.67 ($10,000 / 60 = $166.67). In the same example, the tenant would record a $10,000 liability under fixed assets on their own balance sheet. This would be offset by a $166.67 reduction in rental expense each month over the term of the lease. 4. Accounting for Tenant Improvements 4-1. Understand who accounts for tenant improvements. Since the landlord pays for tenant improvements, all expenses for these improvements are recorded by the landlord. Tenant improvements are treated as ordinary capital expenditures on the landlord's financial statements. The total amount of the expenditures are recorded as an asset on the landlord's balance sheet. Then, each month, the depreciation expense is recorded on the landlord's income statements. 4-2. Calculate the depreciable amount of the improvements. In order to accurately record capital expenditures, know the total cost of the tenant improvements. You also need to know the useful life of the improvements. Finally, know the salvage value of any of the assets. Subtract the salvage amount from the total expenditure. This is the amount that will be depreciated each month on the landlord's accounts. For example, suppose the landlord paid $35,000 for capital improvements. The useful life is 7 years (or 84 months). The salvage value is $1,400. So the depreciable amount is $33,600 ($35,000 - $1,400 = $33,600). 4-3. Calculate monthly depreciation. Divide the depreciable amount by the number of months in the useful life of the assets. Each month, make a journal entry for the monthly depreciation. Record a debit to depreciation expenses on the landlord's income statement. Record a credit to accumulated depreciation on the landlord's balance sheet. For example, if the depreciable amount is $33,600 and the useful life is 84 months, then calculate the depreciation with the equation $33,600 / 84 = $400. This is the amount of depreciation to be recorded each month.

How to Account for a Capital Lease
1. Understanding Capital Leases 1-1. Learn about operating leases. In order to understand a capital lease, you must first understand an operating lease, as these are the two main kinds of leases. An operating lease is a traditional lease whereby lessor (or owner of a property) transfers the right to use the property to a borrower (or lessee) for a particular period, after which it is returned. With an operating lease, the borrower assumes no risk of ownership. An operating lease involves no ownership of the asset, and therefore, the asset does not appear on the company's balance sheet in any way. The only important accounting for an operating lease is the rent, or lease payment, which appears on the income statement as an expense. Operating leases are typically short compared to the life of the asset. For example, if a piece of machinery is being leased, and the life of the machine is 25 years, an operating lease may be for five years. 1-2. Contrast an operating lease with a capital lease. A capital lease is the other type of lease, and unlike an operating lease, a capital lease requires the lessee to bear some of the risks and benefits of owning the asset, even though it never actually owns the asset. A capital lease occurs when the lessee records the asset on the balance sheet as if it owns the asset. The lessee would then make lease payments to the lessor, and these payments consist of interest and principal repayments, just like a loan. There are several pro's to capital leases. Just like if the business actually owned the asset, they can choose to deduct the interest component of the lease payment each year for taxes, and can also claim depreciation each year on the asset. That is to say, as the asset decreases in value each year, the business can benefit from this, whereas this would not be possible with an operating lease. There are cons as well. For example, since the asset is listed on the balance sheet, this would make the company's return on assets lower. This is because since return on assets is income as a percentage of total assets, if assets increase, the return falls (assuming income stays the same). 1-3. Consider the criteria for a capital lease. Under a capital lease, the lessee is essentially buying the asset from the lessor, with the lease payments functioning as a financing arrangement. If the lease meets one of these four criteria, it must be accounted for as a capital lease: The asset's ownership will be transferred to the lessee upon the agreement's maturation. The lessee is given the option of purchasing the asset at a price below the market value upon the agreement's maturation. The term of the lease agreement is greater than 75 percent of the asset's useful life. The present value of all the future rent payments is equal to or greater than 90% of the assets market value 2. Accounting for Capital Leases 2-1. Evaluate the terms of the lease. Before making any journal entries, make sure you understand the lease agreement's terms. For example, consider a lease agreement whereby Company A leases a building to Company B for 10 years. Company B will pay a rental payment of $12,000 at the beginning of each year. The building's useful life is 12 years; therefore, this is a capital lease because the lease term is greater than 75 percent of the asset's life. 2-2. Review the basic accounting process for recognizing a capital lease. Before learning the journal entries it is important to understand the basic accounting process. From an accounting perspective, when you enter into a capital lease, you are basically purchasing the asset, and then financing it using a loan. Therefore the accounting would be very similar to if you simply bought and financed an asset. This means you would first need to add the asset to the balance sheet as a fixed asset, and also add the value of the asset to the balance sheet as a capital lease liability (since you do not own the asset). Over the term of the lease, regular payments consisting of interest and principal would be made. The interest portion of the payment would be recorded as an interest expense on the income statement, and the principal would reduce the balance of the capital lease liability. For example, assume you were leasing an asset worth $10,000. This means $10,000 would be listed as an asset on the balance sheet, and $10,000 would be listed as a capital lease liability. If you had a $1,000 yearly payment, and $100 was interest, $900 would go towards reducing the capital lease liability account. Over time, this means the capital lease liability account would eventually reach zero.. Finally, you would need account for depreciation. Since assets depreciate over their useful life, you would need to account for the declining value of the asset each year. 2-3. Start by recording the journal entries to recognize the start of the lease. The journal entries will reflect the fact that the lease is essentially a sale. For example, assume Company A leases a building to Company B for 10 years, with an annual rent payment of $12,000. Assume the value of the building is $120,000. Note that the value of the asset is supposed to be equal to the present value of all future rent payments. In this example, we are assuming the value of the building is equal to the sum of all future rent payments ($12,000 times 10 years). In reality, this would be less, since those future rent payments must be discounted to account for the fact that money received in the future is worth less than money received now. To begin, open whatever accounting software you are using, debit the "Building" asset account for $120,000, and credit the Lease Payable liability account for $120,000. If these accounts aren't available in your accounting program, you must create them. This transaction recognizes the building and the lease on the balance sheet. 2-4. Record the journal entry to recognize each rental payment. Now that the lease is recognized on the balance sheet, you must account for the rental payments. On January 1 each year, you must make a payment to recognize your lease payments to the lessor. To do this, you would debit Lease Payable for $12,000 and credit Cash for $12,000. Doing this reduces the value of the Lease payable liability account, to reflect the fact that the principle on the "loan" is being paid down. This transaction also reduces cash as you are paying the lessee. Note that this assumes there is no interest involved. If part of that $12,000 annual payment is interest, you must debit that portion to the Interest Expense account. For example, suppose that the $12,000 payment included 10 percent interest. This means that $1,090 of that payment was interest expense. Therefore, you would record a debit of $10,910 to the capital lease liability account, a debit of $1,090 to the interest expense account and a credit of $12,000 to the accounts payable account. These journal entries will continue to deplete the balance of the Lease Payable account until they reach 0 at the agreement's end. You may also make monthly payments. Account for it in the same way, but repeat the process twelve times--once for each month. 2-5. Record any necessary depreciation expenses. Because a capital lease is treated like a purchase agreement, the lessee will need to record depreciation on the asset in question. In the example above, you would need to depreciate the $120,000 balance in the Building account over its life. The required journal entries would vary depending on the company's depreciation schedule. Depreciation involves taking the value of the asset ($120,000), and reducing its value over the course of its life (10 years). For example, using straight-line depreciation, the asset would depreciate by $12,000 per year ($120,000/10=$12,000{\displaystyle \$120,000/10=\$12,000}). To account for this, you must charge that amount to the income statement as an expense each year. The basic procedure is to debit the depreciation expense account by $12,000, and then credit the accumulated depreciation account for $12,000. Tips The example above deals with a "direct financing" capital lease, by far the most common arrangement. If the rental payments are greater than the asset's original cost, the lease becomes a "sales type" agreement, in which a profit is recognized as each payment is made. The examples above will also work when expressed in other currencies.

How to Account for a Lease
1. Categorizing the Lease 1-1. Gather the paperwork associated with the lease. All of the financial information that you need, as well as information about the type of lease you're accounting for, will be spelled out in the lease agreement. Have that handy so that you can be sure you're accounting for everything correctly. Specifically, you'll need the amount of the lease payment per payment period. For example, the lease might specify a payment of $500 per month or $1,000 per year. 1-2. Ensure that you understand the terms in the agreement. You'll need to know a little bit, but not a lot, of legal jargon to properly account for the lease payments. Lessor - That's the owner of the asset that's being leased. For example, if you own an apartment and you rent it out to somebody for a 12-month period, then you're the lessor in that situation. Lessee - That's the person who's rents assets from the lessor. Effectively, this is the person who gets to "use" the asset in question. For example, if you rent an apartment from somebody for a 12-month period, then you're the lessee in that situation. 1-3. Categorize the lease as an operating or capital lease. You'll account for the lease payments differently depending on whether the lease is an operating lease or a capital lease, so you'll need to understand the difference. An operating lease occurs when the lease represents a true rental agreement. Most of the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the leased asset remain with the lessor, and the lessee does not have any way to purchase the asset. An operating lease represents an expense to the lessee and revenue to the lessor. A capital lease represents a material transfer of ownership. This means that the lessee has essentially purchased the asset from the lessor, and the rent payments are more accurately classified as a financing plan. A lease must be accounted for as a capital lease if any 1 of the following 4 conditions are true: the lessee will gain title of the asset at the end of the lease; the lessee will be able to purchase the asset for a price below market value at the end of the lease; the term (length of time) of the lease accounts for 75 percent or more of the useful life of the asset; and the net present value of all the rent payments equals 90 percent of more of the asset's market value. 2. Accounting for an Operating Lease 2-1. Determine the frequency of the payment. Remember, in the previous step you checked the lease agreement to determine payment and frequency (for example, $1,000 per year). That information will tell you how often you'll need to account for the payment (for example, monthly, annually, etc.). 2-2. Debit the appropriate account. In the case of an operating lease, the lessor receives money while the lessee makes a payment. For example, in a lease agreement by which ABC Corporation leases a dozen large printers to XYZ Company for five years in exchange for rent payments of $1,000 each year, ABC Corporation earns money while XYZ Company records an expense. In that case, ABC Corporation (the lessor) will debit Cash upon receipt of the payment for $1,000 and XYZ Company (the lessee) will debit rent expense for $1,000. 2-3. Credit the appropriate account. Continuing with the example above, each company must balance its books with a credit equal to the amount of the debit. In that case, ABC Corporation (the lessor) will credit Rent Revenue for $1,000. XYZ Corporation (the lessee), on the other hand, will credit Cash for $1,000. 3. Accounting for a Capital Lease 3-1. Determine the frequency of the payment. As with operating leases, there will be a payment frequency associated with capital leases. You'll need to know that frequency so that you can account for the payments at the right time. 3-2. Account for the values of the assets at the beginning of the lease term. In the case of a capital lease, the lessee is effectively buying the assets with a payment plan. For example, consider a capital lease agreement by which ABC Corporation leases a dozen large printers to XYZ Company for five years in exchange for rent payments of $1,000 each year. At the end of that lease agreement, XYZ Company would own the printers and have no further obligations under the lease. That means the transaction should be accounted for like a sale. In that case, ABC Corporation (the lessor) debits Lease Receivables (an asset) for $5,000 at the very beginning of the lease. That's the total amount of money that XYZ Company will pay ABC Corporation based on the terms of the lease. ABC Corporation also credits its Printers account (another asset) for $5,000 as well. XYZ Company (the lessee), on the other hand, debits its Printers account (also an asset) for $5,000 at the very beginning of the lease. The company would also credit Lease Payable for $5,000 to keep the books in balance. 3-3. Record the changes for each payment. Now that you have the accounts set up properly, you have to debit and credit each account with every payment. Recall that the payment terms are $1,000 per year. ABC Corporation (the lessor) will debit Cash for $1,000 and credit Lease Receivables with each payment. XYZ Company (the lessee) will debit Lease Payable for $1,000 and credit cash for $1,000 with each payment. Tips The examples above will work equally well when expressed in other currencies.
