A purchase order is a document, which the buyer sends to a supplier. A purchase order includes the list of products or goods (or services in some cases) that the buyer wants to buy from the seller, their quantity, supply price, date of creation and shipment date, shipping address, and other useful information for this order. Invoice is a document, which the supplier sends to the buyer. It includes actual information about the list of products, their quantity, and price. Usually, the invoice is sent after both the buyer and supplier completely agrees and confirms the purchase order. Therefore, in some cases, the purchase order can be changed to actual quantity and price of products. After the invoice is paid, the supplier sends the products to the buyer.

Who knows, what is the difference between purchase order and invoice? Seems it is very similar documents.

Historical cost is the original cost of the item on the date of purchase. It is used in accounting as a measure of value for recording price of assets on the balance sheet. An example of this may be seen in real estate purchases. Let us suppose that a company had purchased a building in 1932 in downtown New York at $10,000. In 2018, that building cost $10 billion. But the asset recorded on the balance sheet is $10,000. Other than the purchase price, the historical price also includes any additional costs incurred to make the purchase full operating asset. For example, the company purchased equipment for a restaurant at $25,000. Also, delivery and installation of equipment cost $2,500. Historical cost of restaurant equipment is $25,000 + $2,500 = $27,500. That value will be recorded on the balance sheet.

Money market account (MMA) is an interest-bearing account, which you can open in most US banks. It seems like an ordinary saving account but has some differences. The key difference of MMA from a savings account is how the bank uses your money. If you put money in a savings account, the bank has a limitation on its use for a loan (by law). But if you put your money in MMA, the bank can invest it in a loan or other low-risk assets to another borrower. Minimal deposit amount in MMA should be higher than the deposit on standard saving account; the lower threshold starts from $500 or $1000 (depends on the bank). The minimal account balance of MMA also should be higher. But MMA also has several perks for you: interest rate of MMA is higher than saving account; as well as a savings account, MMA is protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); you have access to funds in the form of debit card transactions or ATM withdrawal. The law allows you to use it a maximum six times per month (many banks usually allow 3 or 4 times). If you need an account more liquid than a savings account and want to earn more interest rate than a checking account, you can use MMA.

A negative interest rate is an interest rate with a negative value. The point is that interest rates shall not fall below zero. So how is a negative interest rate possible? There could be a couple of reasons. 1. Real interest rate becomes negative due to inflation The real interest rate calculation formula is: Real rate = Nominal rate - Inflation For example, if a bank set the nominal interest rate at 3% and if the inflation is 3.5% a year, the real rate will be negative (-0.5%). In this case, if you put $100 in the savings account, normally, it should be $103 after one year. However, after inflation, it will be $99.50. As you see, as a depositor, you lose $0.50. 2. Nominal rate turned negative due to deflation It means that instead of receiving money on deposits, you must pay a fee to the bank for keeping your money there. Why is it so? When the country’s economy goes into deflation, people and businesses try to accumulate their savings instead of investing or spending money. As a result, the economy goes into recession because aggregate demand is decreasing. To prevent this, the central bank begins to charge negative interest. This encourages depositors to invest and spend money instead of paying a fee to keep it. In this case, a negative interest rate acts as a monetary policy tool. In 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut the interest rates to below zero (set depositary interest rates at -0.4%). Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland, which are not part of the eurozone, also have negative rates. In 2016, the Bank of Japan also reviewed its economic policies and began to charge a negative interest rate.

The average age of inventory shows how many days it takes to sell a piece of inventory. The calculation formula is: Average age of inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover or Average age of inventory = (Average inventory / Net sales) * 365 Inventory turnover = Net sales / Average inventory Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2 Net sales is the Cost of goods sold 365 - days of the year An example: The retail company’s inventory value is $1 billion and Net sales are $5 billion. In this case, the Average age of inventory is (1000000 / 5000000) * 365 = 73 days. The average age of inventory indicates how successful the retail business is. The lower the value of the average age of inventory, the more successful the retail company. And vice versa. If the average age of inventory high, it means that the company hasn't been very successful.

COGS or "Cost of goods sold" represent the total cost of inventory. COGS include all necessary costs for ag to appear like material, production, tools necessary in production but exclude transportation and marketing costs. Average inventory is calculated by summing beginning inventory and ending inventory (of a period of time) and dividing by 2. For example, if a store has COGS $100,000 per year and Average inventory 2,000 then the inventory turnover is 50. It means that in 365 days inventory renews 50 times, at every 7.3 days. In this case, the inventory turnover is quite high and can be interpreted as rapid sales or as low purchases for inventory.
