Why we study this subject which is the BASIC FINANCE? Is will be a part of our career
someday as hoteliers and restaurateurs? The answer for the second question is a big yes but why?
According to Webster, finance may be defined as a noun, means management of money, the
monetary support for an enterprise, or the money resources a government, company or person.
In these subjects, it consists of eleven chapters. As a whole I prefer the chapter 2. The
introduction to finance because in this chapter, it caught my attention because in the first meeting
of our classes this is the first lesson we tackle. From the definition of the finance, I've learned
that the word finance is not only concerning in money but as a whole it is defined as the efficient
acquisition, allocations and utilization of funds. There's a three names who viewed finance. It is
Shetty et all (1995), viewed finance as the operational or practical side of economics, the
practical science of the production and distribution. Saldana (1997), state that finance is the
evaluating and managing sources and use of cash in order to increase the value of the enterprise
to its present owner. And last. Medina (2007), as the study of the acquisition and investment of
cash for the purpose of enhancing value and wealth. There's a function entails which is first
allocation of available funds, second, acquisitions of needed funds and lastly, utilization of funds
There's a two classification of finance, first one is as a form of negotiations, under this there's a
two the direct and indirect finance, and second as a form of user, under this the public and
private finance. Finance in the business world. Business is any lawful economic activity that
involves rendering services, buying and selling goods. Then the types of business organization.
As to nature or purpose under this, we have seven in the services, trading or merchandizing,
manufacturing, banking and finance, mining and extractive industries, construction companies
and genetic industries. There are a different insurance companies, the life and non-life insurance
companies. And the as to ownership, it’s have only two, the sole or single proprietorship and
partnership.
After this chapter, I have learned that there's such a things that you've consider in handling or
managing funds or money as a business man or an entrepreneur. Finance is not only concerned
in money or amount of it but of course how you handle and manage it well.
