			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Generally, money is a widely acceptable item that can be used to purchase goods and services, and to pay off debts. The purpose of money is to aid in the fast and efficient exchange of goods and services. To be able to do so, money performs three specific functions which are as medium of exchange, standard of value, and storage of value.</p>
<p>In institutions that have progressed their trade system from bartering, the population have created an indirect means to obtain products and services. This means involves the exchange of money to purchase goods and services. As a medium of exchange, the process involves these two steps and they just differ in the point of reference. In reference to the buyer, money is given by the buyer to the seller which is equal to the value of the goods or service which is called a purchase. On the other hand, in reference to the seller, money is obtained by the seller from the buyer in exchange of the goods or services he gives the seller and this process is called a sale.</p>
<p>Every product or service available for trade has at least one exchange value. This value is equivalent to the number of units of another commodity that is acceptable to the society in making an exchange. The function of money solves the problem presented by bartering, and makes a purchase and a sale easier.</p>
<p>Money functions as a store of value in such a way that saving for the future is more convenient with it. Think about if money did not exist, saving for the future means stocking up piles of goods which may end up into spoilage. Money provided a more stable means to save for the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In many cases, once the manufacturer has sold his product to a middleman, he has minimal or no auxiliary apprehension with where his product goes, who buys it, or who finally uses it. However, since inefficient marketing practices can result in lost sales and lost profits to the manufacturer, some manufacturers become more concerned with marketing and get involved in the full marketing sequence for their products. It is becoming more and more common, particularly with large manufacturers, for a sales or marketing department to create strategies and lead the entire marketing effort. The practice of a manufacturer scheduling or organizing the marketing of a product past an initial sale is often referred to as the marketing concept.</p>
<p>To develop a scheme or strategy, the manufacturer&#8217;s marketing department must estimate when, where, and in what quantities a product will be demanded or wanted. The group may direct distributors on the most competent ways of delivering and storing the product. The group will probably suggest to sellers how the product can be best known to the public and how it should be priced. Advertising and sales promotions are devised to reach potential consumers and are coordinated with the rest of the marketing strategy.</p>
<p>The marketing team will most likely have an important say in making production and packaging decisions. This involves directing production toward the more sellable products, styles, and designs. To make an effective marketing strategy possible, the manufacturer must have the cooperation of distributors and sellers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A process of exchange of a product, a service, or cash for a promise to pay it back at an agreed future date is made possible by the notion of credit. In a credit exchange, the borrower is called the debtor while the lender is called the creditor.</p>
<p>The debtor is tasked to pay the money with the application of a certain interest which is a calculated percentage added to the total amount of borrowed monetary value. To regulate the system of credit, laws have been passed to ensure the safety and stability of any credit system. This regulation required creditors to indicate in a clear manner and oftentimes in a black and white form, the interest, finance charge, and other fees that are involved in the credit process.</p>
<p>In the credit process, the creditor may require the debtor some form of security or collateral before the credit is granted. The collateral can be any property such as a real property or a car that the creditor can take away from the debtor in case payments of the credit are not made. The debtor’s inability to make payments is called a default. If the debtor defaults, the creditor can obtain the collateral through by taking some legal measures.</p>
<p>Credit agencies can extend credit to a business and this is called “mercantile credit”. Manufacturers and wholesalers are oftentimes able to produce and distribute products on a regular basis with the aid of a credit. Banks also provide this kind of credit which comes in the form of business loans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a student, it is important to learn how manage your money effectively as early as possible because it will help in shaping up your attitude towards it in the future. The earlier you start how to learn to manage your money well the better it will be for you especially during the time you are earning your own money comes. As early as now, you should learn how to make your money work for you and not the other way around.</p>
<p>You should create a list of your expenses and compare it with the money you receive as your allowance. Trying to get a part-time job as you study through high school and college is helpful in molding you as a person who knows how manage his money well. Knowing how it feels to give out effort in exchange of money is a way how to learn to give value to it and not spend it on unimportant things.</p>
<p>As much as possible, do not apply for credit cards yet since it will only be a way to tempt you in buying things that you do not need. Also, since you still do not have a stable source of income, it will not be helpful for you to get a credit card since it will be difficult for you to maintain it.</p>
<p>If getting a credit card is inevitable, you should try to learn how to use it properly. Use your credit card only when needed and refrain from making purchases that you will just regret in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Simply put, labor is the exertion of the mind or body to provide a product or service. In the manufacturing industry, labor usually comes in the form of physical exertion while in the research and development industry, labor comes in the form of mental exertion. As far as the term labor goes, it can also be used to refer a group of individuals whose major task is to perform work in exchange of a salary. Organizations related to labor are called labor unions or trade union, and they all comprise the labor movement.</p>
<p>In the industrial setting, individual laborers have little or no power at all to negotiate with employers for better working conditions and salary. The creation of unions provided these individuals a capability to communicate their needs by a means of a strike. A strike is the general refusal to work until the management agrees to fulfill the demands of the union.</p>
<p>For many years back, unions were considered to be unlawful in any country since it employs an unreasonable measure to restraint businesses. But nowadays, unions are made legal to provide laborers an equal power and protect them against management abuse.</p>
<p>Collective bargaining is what happens when the labor union and the management tries to find a way to agree with each other’s terms. Laws are even applied to make collective bargaining acceptable to both parties. If a majority of the workers vote that the labor union should represent them, the business is required to give recognition to the labor union.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To be able to operate properly, a manufacturing business should have these three basic requirements which are raw materials, labor, and management system. Having these three requirements is needed to produce a commodity or to provide a service.</p>
<p>Manufacturing works in different ways such that its need for raw materials varies from one industry to another industry. Some manufacturing businesses process natural raw materials to enhance a specific characteristic of a product such as the longevity of its shelf life. Other businesses make use of the final product of other manufacturers, processing them to be combined with each other to get a much better product. For example, in food preservation industry, the raw materials could be fruits or vegetables that came fresh from the farm. At the end of the process, bottled or canned products with a longer shelf life are produced. Another example is in the automotive industry, raw materials include steel (body and chassis), rubber (tires), and plastic (dashboard) are combined all together to produce a powerful machine.</p>
<p>Though many modern manufacturing facilities operate using machines instead of manual labor, these machines require skillful controllers. Though other manufacturing businesses use robotics in their processes, human control is still an indispensible part of the company’s labor system.</p>
<p>Final decisions regarding the overall operation of a manufacturing business relies greatly on the management system. Managers are assigned to create production plans and goals, and they are the ones who are tasked to check that these plans and goals are carried out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think that buying real estate, whichever kind, design, or size it may be, is an investment that is sure to increase in market value then you may be thinking something wrong. In actuality, what may increase in market value is not the structure that is built but the land where the property stands. The structure that is built on the land generally decreases in market value as time passes by especially if it is put to use. On the other hand, the land has a higher chance of increasing in market value especially if the vicinity where the lot is located gets developed.</p>
<p>In investing on real estate, it important to recognize the difference on which of the two components – that is the building and the land, depreciates and appreciates. If you are knowledgeable in managing these components it will be easier to manipulate the situation to get the best deal out of it. For example, a building may depreciate in value but having the knowledge on how to maintain it well can significantly affect its future price. Also, knowing how to spot a marketable area is valuable in your endeavor to invest on real estate.</p>
<p>When you buy a property, you should learn how to be able to see beyond the luxurious design and style of the estate. Luxury homes and establishments are more difficult to maintain compared to smaller properties. Thus, oftentimes investing in small homes has a higher return on investment compared with large properties. If you can find this kind of property, choose to invest on it rather than on high-end estates.</p>
