Your prices appear to be ___ the high side as compared with those of other manufactures.

Dear Sirs,

Re: Men's Sweaters

Thank you for your letter of May 18 and samples.

We appreciate the good quality of men's sweaters, but we find your prices appear to be on the high side and out of line with the current price in the market．It would leave us only a small profit on our sales if we accept the prices you quoted.

We appreciate the quality of your goods and would like to have the opportunity to do business with you, but we have also to point out that the men's sweaters are available in our market from several European manufactures．All the prices quoted by them are lower about 10% than yours for the same quality．Therefore we suggest you should make a reduction by 10%.

It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such a counter-offer．We hope you will take our counter-offer into consideration favorably and fax us your acceptance immediately.

We are looking forward to your early reply.

Yours faithfully,

(Signature)

Accounting errors will happen from time to time, but many common accounting mistakes can be avoided with proper planning and preparation. Here are the top seven accounting mistakes that should be paid more attention to.

(1 )Not knowing your true cash balance: Due to things like automatic payments and bank charges, money that appears in your cash drawer and your checking account may already be spent.

(2)Mistaking profits for cash: When you have a lot of credit sales, your company can post big profits without seeing any cash.

(3)Paying bills too soon: If your vendors give you thirty days to pay them, take it. Unless you get a discount for paying early, paying your bills only when they’re due improves your company’s cash flow.

(4)Avoiding book -keeping tasks: Not recording and posting transactions regularly leaves you with a mountain of book-keeping to deal with in the end.

(5)Paying accidental dividends: Every time a corporation owner takes money out of his business, it counts as a dividend. That can lead to a bigger personal income-tax bill.

(6)Not keeping personal finances separate from business: Mixing up business and personal money can cause bookkeeping and legal problems.

(7)Setting prices too low: Know your costs before you set product or service prices, or you run the risk of losing money on every sale. A simple break-even analysis can help you set prices at a profitable level.

() 21. Accounting mistakes cannot be avoided.

() 22. With a lot of credit sales, your company may have no cash at hand.

() 23. It is recommended not to pay bills too soon.

() 24. Business money and personal money can be mixed up.

() 25. Try your best to know your costs before you set product or service prices.

PROTECTING EYES FROM COMPUTER SCREENS

Many of us spend the bulk of the day looking at computer screens. Reading this article means there’s a good chance you’re looking at one right now.

But does looking at computer screens damage your eyes？ Professor Nathan Efron does not consider computer screens “harmful” to our eyes.

But he admits if you use one a lot, you increase your risk of becoming slightly more short-sighted –where your eyes focus well only on close objects while more distant objects appear blurred. This is especially the case for children and young adults, whose eyes are still developing.

In the shorter term, prolonged viewing of a computer screen can make any slight existing vision defects more noticeable. It can also give you what is sometimes known as “computer vision syndrome” – eye strain, headaches, gritty eyes and blurry vision. But this is only temporary and can be minimized by:

Adjusting the screen display so the contrast is high and the brightness feels comfortable.

Having lighting that does not produce glare on the screen.

Giving your eyes regular rests from looking at the screen (The Optometrists Association of Australia recommends you do this for five to ten minutes every one to two hours of computer use. It's a good time to make phone calls or do other tasks.)

1. Many of us spend much time looking at computer screens. {T; F}

2. Looking at computer screens for long time doesn’t damage children and young adults’ eyesight. {T; F}

3. Computer vision syndrome cannot be weakened. {T; F}

4. It’s good taking breaks during screen watching. {T; F}
