Grain Storage Facilities in Ukraine
In Ukraine there are more than 1000 grain storage and distribution facilities which are divided into several categories:
- grain procurement enterprises. These receive grain from the farms and dry clean and dry it before storage;
- transport elevators, located near to big railway stations, transport junctions, sea and river ports, etc.;
- elevators integrated into bread products enterprises. This kind of enterprises combines together an elevator flour and feed mill.
A usual grain procurement enterprise is a store, built of brick or stone, of approximately 60 metres long, 15 metres wide and 3 metres of height up to the roof, giving a nominal capacity of 3,200 tons. Many of them have railway spurs, which enable the grain to be loaded onto railcars. The roofs of the stores are of asbestos cement sheeting over timber boards, supported on round wooden poles. The floor is usually asphalt and often incorporates underfloor ventilation ducts. Axial flow fans are fitted to the ends of these ducts, outside the buildings, to enable the store to be ventilated. In the centre of the building there is a central channel for a lengthwise belt conveyor which is in use when the store is unloaded. The stores are generally filled by an overhead belt conveyor. To unload the store in most cases a small bucket loader is needed, although some facilities do have sloping floors.

Economics
Economics is a very broad concept often used to denote a range of different things. Amidst all these differences the two distinct aspects are shown quite clearly: technical and social. Both are reflected in management. In the technical sense, management has to do with machines, instrument etc. Men control machines and mechanical systems, and this calls for professional knowledge and special skills. In principle, however, management of this kind pertains to the technical aspect of production and strictly speaking, remains outside the sphere of economics.
Economics as a totality of the relations between men in the realm of the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods includes, of course, the movement of material value, that is, of things. But the point is that relations between men do not form on their own, but in regard to the production and the appropriation of goods. This is the basis of economic science. Behind the relations of things stand real relationships between people, the motives and aims of their activity. That to manage the economy means to foresee their future is clear. But it also means to orientate them in a definite direction, towards working for a set goal. The sources of management are rooted in antiquity.
Currently the economy of Ukraine is in a state of profound crisis, due to the constant drop of production levels, imperfection of economic legislation, unconsidered and inflexible tax policy and many other negative factors. The bad
state of economy in Ukraine is a cause of constantly falling living standard of the people, shortening their life span, increase of social tension of the society. To improve the situation the sweeping economic reform should be taken, which should include perfection of the legal system, removal of the unbearable tax press from the national goods manufacturers, resolute struggle with the officials’ corruption and a lot of other radical measures. If these stay undone, the economy of Ukraine will go on falling, which will bring new sufferings to the Ukrainian people.

Money
Money performs a number of functions. First of all, it serves as a measure of value; that is, it is used to measure the value of all other commodities. Each commodity is sold for a certain sum of money, which expresses its value. The value of commodity in terms of money is called its price.
Money is ideal unit for expressing the value of all other commodities. What this means is that to measure the value of commodities it is not necessary to have cash. As acts of sale and purchase (i.e. the exchange of commoditiesfor money) are repeated many times, the seller and buyer mentally equate the commodity to a certain amount of money (or gold) corresponding to its value.
When commodities are exchanged with the aid of money, the latter also serves as a means of circulation. To perform this function money has to be real, not ideal. What is important is that anyone receiving these symbols of value must be assured that they will be accepted from him too, when he pays for other commodities. That is why states declare paper money to be legal tender.
Money also serves as a means of accumulation treasures. This function stems from the fact that money can buy any commodity. Therefore, money is a universal embodiment of wealth and means of accumulating it. Taken out of circulation, however, money becomes treasure only if it is gold, or money converted into articles of gold, silver and other precious metals or stones.

Accounting
What is accounting?
Accounting can be defined as the measuring and recording of all relevant financial data concerning a particular entity, that is business, government organization, etc.
Financial reporting is the communicating of such information in appropriately summarized form. In the UK such summarized form is called “Accounts”. In the USA it is called “Financial statements”. These accounts or statements are communicated to interested parties both within and outside the organization.
Financial reporting provides information that is useful to present and potential investors, creditors and other users in making rational investment, credit and other economic decisions.
Accounting is often referred to as the “language of business”. And, as a direct result of the work of accountants and auditors. A wide range of different users of financial reporting are able to answer questions such as:
How much profit did the company make last year?
How much should I lend to the company?
Is this company more successful than its competitors?
How much can I withdraw from the company?
Was last year an improvement over the year before? etc.
Accountants are therefore those individuals specialized in the “art” of capturing the correct data, and preparing the most meaningful financial information, which is then made available to “consumers” such as owners and lenders.
Accountants are assisted in their work by bookkeepers, who operate some form of accounting system, usually computerized, to help capture, accumulate, categorize, summarize and report the many thousands of transactions that affect an economic entity every year.
