Costs

Costs describe target-oriented use of goods and services valued according to prices. The use is caused by the company performance or performance evaluation (costs concept in terms of value).

The assessment of this resources consumption improves -> efficiency.

Costs accrue as a rule for services (costs are as a rule linked to services). Instead of costs accounting there is also the accurate term of costs and services accounting. Costs are typically described according to the following aspects:

• degree to which costs can be influenced/changed (in short/long term)

• type of activities/process character (structural costs (fix)/production costs (proportional))

• possibility of registration/allocation (direct costs vs. overhead costs).

The Relationship Between Gifts & Community

Wherever I go and ask people what is missing from their lives, the most common answer (if they are not impoverished or seriously ill) is "community." What happened to community, and why dont we have it any more? There are many reasons the layout of suburbia, the disappearance of public space, the automobile and the television, the high mobility of people and jobs and, if you trace the "whys" a few levels down, they all implicate the money system.

A Sisters Deathless Legacy of Love
