Expenses

Bills

For accounting, expenses and investments are expenses.

From the Latin egressus , egress are departures or discharge items . The verb egresar refers to leaving somewhere . For example: “The departures from the bus terminal have been massive: it seems that there will be no one left in the city during the summer.”

The concept of expenses, in any case, is closely linked to accounting ; In this case, it means the outflow of money from the coffers of a company or organization , while income means the money that comes in.

accounting expenses

Expenses include expenses and investments . Expense is that accounting item that increases losses or decreases profits, and always involves a financial outlay, whether cash or banking movements. Payment for a service (for example, Internet connection) and the lease of a commercial premises are some of the common expenses that form part of company expenses.

Investments and costs, for their part, also involve the expenditure of money ; However, these are disbursements that are made with the hope that they will translate, in the not too distant future, into income. When purchasing a raw material, a company incurs an expense (the money comes out of its cash) but, when transforming said material, it becomes a finished product that will generate income with its sale. Business logic implies that these income must exceed expenses to obtain profitability.

Cash flow is an accounting statement that allows you to keep track of the movements of cash and equivalents. This is a way to monitor how much money is leaving the company and how much is coming in, which is essential during the planning stages. A company needs to control its expenses to be able to meet its operational obligations.

Graduates

Whoever graduates, leaves the educational institution.

Graduation and graduate trips

At the end of their studies , young people from many parts of the world embark on a trip, with the purpose of compensating themselves for the efforts made during their studies, as well as to enrich themselves culturally. In Argentina, this custom is called the graduate trip , while in other places it is called studies or graduation (among many other names), often accompanied by the words primary or secondary .

The graduation from an academic training center is a reason for celebrations and celebrations for students of all levels, although these are not always peaceful events with tourist interests; In Western Australia, for example, there is a custom called Schoolies week , which consists of spending an entire week partying, although not without negative consequences for the community. For many, trips and end-of-year parties are the perfect excuse to do everything they are prohibited from doing at their parents' house; Sometimes the price to pay for this unbridled freedom is very high.

During graduate trips, the objectives of many young people are to have sexual relations for the first time, consume excessive amounts of alcohol and smoke, without restrictions, without adults who have sufficient authority to prohibit any of these activities. Five days, a week or even a fortnight are not enough to destroy the body, but this does not mean that the body does not suffer after repeated alcohol comas and large volumes of smoke that suffocate the lungs.

In short, the end-of-school trip represents one more of society 's many acts of hypocrisy: parents and teachers collaborate year after year in organizing a celebration that, later, they know they will fail, in which they know that the Some teenager's life will be endangered or changed forever, as happens when an unwanted pregnancy occurs.
