How to recieve money for childcare? -

I have been babysitting a family members child for the past month. Someone told me I could recieve money from the government for doing this. What is the process and how do I do this? Thanks.

In pennsylvania there is a program called Apple Childcare. It is a subsidy for people that have generally low income so they can receive reduced price for daycare. I used to receive this subsidy and the money would go directly to the daycare center. Your family member would have to apply for this money, in whatever program your state offers, usually you can do it online, then they would specify you as their childcare person and you would receive some money. I know that in my state there was a waiting list for the subsidy, and your family member would have to be diligent about submitting income information every 6 months or when their income changes. Good Luck to you.

I am interest in starting to sell products from home using catalogs, but I dont know where to start.? -

Im not sure what products are available to sell.

I would start by signing up with a company that uses independent reps/distibutors to market/sell their products. They all have catalogs that you can buy to give/show to people and then take orders. Sometimes it helps to have a small inventory of products to show people. Some companies will ship the purchases directly to the buyer (called drop shipping ) and with others they ship to you and you give or ship to the buyer and some will do either. Many will provide you with a website where people can order.Find a company with a good reputation and profit margin with products you like and it will be easier to talk to others about them with enthusiasm to get more sales.Some examples of companies that use independent reps include Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay and many more.

Try BetterWare or Avon or some other established business that already uses catalogs to sell their wares. They have the products and all you do is distribute the catalogs and collect orders. Once you have an understanding of how it works then you could add your catalog of products.Your catalog must have products available so you will have to buy them in advance. Producta can be purchased in small quantities, as little as 10 units but the cost price is reflected by the quantity you purchase.You cannot distribute a catalog that has no products available within 21 days.

Accounting: how to prepare a cash flow statement using the direct method? -

As the accountant at Herman Industries, you are responsible for preparing the statement ofcash flows. You have decided to prepare the statement using the direct method and havegathered the following data from the accounting records:Payment of long-term debt $217,000Collections on accounts receivable 210,900Acquisition of equipment by issuinglong-term note payable 85,000Interest revenue 14,500Credit sales 392,700Salary expense 103,800Cash payments to purchase plant assets 71,000Cost of goods sold 417,300Collection of interest revenue 13,700Payment of cash dividends 48,500Income tax expense and payments 39,200Proceeds from sale of plant assets,including $6,900 loss 31,800Cash receipt of dividend revenue 19,300Payments of salaries 94,100Depreciation expense 72,400Cash sales 203,900Proceeds from issuance of common stock 300,000Payments for interest expense 60,400Bonds payable converted into common stock 250,000Payments to suppliers 295,400Cash balance: December 31, 20X5 55,500Cash balance: December 31, 20X6 9,500Prepare the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 20X6, using the direct method, and include a schedule of non cash investing and financing activities if necessary.

This is a 15 minute exercise, at least. No one is going to do this for you. Do it yourself.

With the direct method of preparing a statement of cash flow you show gross changes in receipts and payments. WIth indirect method you beging with net income and then list cash provided or used in operating, investing and financing activities. I prefer the indirect method.
