Abstract

Each exchange-priced transaction will present some combination of favorable and/or unfavorable effects on the enterprise concerned. In order to segregate unlike transaction effects and to aggregate like transaction effects, account categories are named and given bilateral form. Each transaction, in turn, speaks of the experience of that enterprise.
